Lighting apparatus, driving method of lighting apparatus, and vehicle lamp

A lighting apparatus comprising:

• at least one first light emitting element;
• at least one second light emitting element whose emission color is different from that of the first light emitting element;
• a power supply circuit connected to the first light emitting element and the second light emitting element and supplies a driving voltage to the first light emitting element and the second light emitting element;
• and
• a control circuit configured to control flow of a current generated by the drive voltage to each of the first light emitting element and the second light emitting element;
• wherein the control circuit is configured to control the flow of the current such that, during a first period, a first current flows through the first light emitting element while the second light emitting element is in a non-conductive state, and to control the flow of the current such that, during a second period which follows the first period, a second current relatively smaller than the first current flows through the first light emitting element while a third current flows through the second light emitting element.
