An LED driver circuit includes a first terminal to which a current path of the switch device is connected at one end thereof; a second terminal to which the current path of the switch device is connected at another end thereof, the switch device and a battery being connected in series between the first terminal and the second terminal; a detection circuit that periodically detects a current flowing to the first terminal and outputs a detection signal responsive to a result of the detection at a first node; a comparison circuit that compares a detection voltage responsive to the detection signal with a threshold voltage and outputs a comparison result signal responsive to a result of the comparison; and a control circuit that controls a current detection operation of the detection circuit and controls driving of the LED lamp based on the comparison result signal.
