Abstract

The lighting device is equipped with a light guide having a linear Fresnel reflection surface consisting of steps of continuously alternating reflecting surfaces having two different reflection angles. A light source is installed at one end of the light guide of the above construction so that the light from the light source is emitted from the irradiation surface of the light guide after being reflected by the linear Fresnel reflection surface.
