To provide a novel and improved medical light source device and a control method for the medical light source device that are capable of accurately adjusting the color temperature of a light receiving unit.SOLUTION: A medical light source device comprises a plurality of light sources, a light monitor unit, and a control unit. The light sources each allow adjustment of the emission light amount. The light monitor unit detects the emission light amount of each light source. The control unit controls the emission light amounts on the basis of a correlation between the emission light amount and luminance of each light source, and a result of the detection by the light monitor unit.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1【課題】受光部における色温度を精度よく調節することが可能な、新規かつ改良された医療用光源装置及び医療用光源装置の制御方法を提案する。【解決手段】医療用光源装置は、複数の光源と、光モニタ部と、制御部と、を備える。複数の光源は、出射光の光量を調整可能とされる。光モニタ部は、それぞれの出射光の光量を検出する、制御部は、光源のそれぞれの出射光の光量と輝度値との相関関係と、光モニタ部での検出結果と、に基づき出射光の光量を制御する。【選択図】図１
