To provide a lighting device for photography soft and easy for lighting and alternative to stroboscope light.

Two illuminator bodies in which high-brightness and high-efficient fluorescent lamps are combined to be surface light sources are set to be a pair. Each illuminator body is oscillatable by using a universal joint mechanism and can automatically maintain gravitational balance.Furthermore, an illuminating angle against a photographic subject can be set easily. Inverter modulated light type fluorescent lamps are adopted to make fine adjustment.
