PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent as much as possible the environment of rearing fish, and the like, from receiving bad influence from the light of an illuminator, by inhibiting the light of the illuminator from suddenly going out or suddenly lighting up in the abnormal situation such as power failure.SOLUTION: The apparatus for controlling light source comprises: an illuminator 2A which illuminates the inside of a building which houses a water tank 11 for rearing aquatic animals, such as fish and a commercial power source 10 which usually supply an electric power source to the illuminator 2A. When the electric power supply from the commercial power source 10 is stopped by power failure and the like, an emergency electric power source is composed to supply an electric power source to the illuminator 2A. The apparatus further comprises an emergency illuminator 2B, equipped in addition to the illuminator 2A, and an uninterruptible power supply 5 which supplies an electric power source to the emergency illuminator 2B. The uninterruptible power supply 5 lights up the emergency illuminator 2B.COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT【課題】本願発明は、停電時等の異常に照明装置の照明が突然消灯したり、突然点灯したりするの防止することにより、飼育魚等の飼育環境が照明装置の光で悪影響を受けるのを可及的に防止することを課題とする。【解決手段】魚類等の水産動物を飼育する水槽11を収容する屋内を照明する照明装置2Aと、該照明装置2Aに通常電源を供給する商用電源10とを備え、停電等により商用電源10からの電源供給が停止した時に、前記照明装置2Aに非常電源を供給するように構成した。そして、前記照明装置2Aとは別途で設けた非常用照明装置2Bと、該非常用照明装置2Bに電源を供給する無停電電源装置5とを備えている。該無停電電源装置5により前記非常用照明装置2Bを点灯させる。【選択図】 図1
