17. The display state control method according to claim 16, wherein the step of causing the lights to display based on the converted direct current signal comprises steps of:
causing the lights to switch to a dimming state based on the direct current signal when an amplitude of the converted direct current signal varies;
causing the lights to switch to an always-on state based on the direct current signal when the amplitude of the converted direct current signal remains unvaried; and
