ABSTRACT:
A light-emission controlling apparatus including an electric discharge lamp (106) which can emit light, a unit for detecting the light-emission state of the electric discharge lamp (106), such as a light-emission time integrating unit (107) for measuring the integral of the length of time that the electric discharge lamp (106) has emitted light, a comparing unit (1082) for comparing the integral of the length of time that the electric discharge lamp (106) has emitted light which is measured by the light-emission time integrating unit (107) to a reference value, and a light-emission mode selecting unit (1083) for selecting either a first light-emission mode or a second light-emission mode according to a comparison result from the comparing unit (1082) so as to cause the electric discharge lamp (106) to emit light in one light-emission mode selected.
