Abstract

A lighting device includes a cutout portion formed at the lower part of a reflective mirror corresponding to a part of the light beam reflected from the reflective mirror and shaded by a shading plate, a first reflective plane consisting of a left-hand reflective plane half and a right-hand reflective plane half for allowing a large part of the light beam emitted directly from the light source to converge in the vertical direction, and a second reflective plane disposed behind the first reflective plane with a vertical attitude for allowing a large part of the light beam reflected from the first reflective plane to be reflected again at the second reflective plane to converge in the vertical direction, to improve a light beam utilizing rate of a light source and light irradiating performances of a projector type lighting device, and moreover, increase a light irradiating intensity of the lighting device. To additionally increase the light irradiating intensity of the lighting device, it is desirable that a third reflective plane is disposed in the form of a concave parabolic surface at the foremost end part of a joint zone between the left-hand reflective plane half and the right-h…
