The invention discloses a light attenuation device capable of continuously adjusting the light intensity. The light attenuation device includes a light source, two or more than two integrating spheres; wherein each integrating sphere is provided with a light inlet hole and a light outlet hole, the integrating spheres are in sequential cascade connection,i.e., the light output hole of the previous integrating sphere is connected to the light inlet hole of the next integrating sphere, each connection position between the two integrating spheres which are in sequential cascade connection, is provided with an electronic changeable diaphragm which is used for adjusting the radiation flux of light entering the integrating spheres and light emitted from the integrating spheres. The light attenuation device capable of continuously adjusting the light intensity can achieve sectionally continuous attenuation and quantitative adjustment of the light intensity, the attenuated light intensity is uniformly distributed, and the adjustment range of the attenuation coefficient is wide; the light attenuation device capable of continuously adjusting the light intensity can be applied to a light attenuator capable of widely, continuously and quantitatively adjusting the light intensity, or can be applied to light detection sensitivity detection of a device or equipment, light source radiant quantity and color measurement, spectral characteristic analysis, and the like.
