Abstract
A lighting unit includes a first light source, a second light source, a projection lens, a first reflector that reflects light from the first light source, a second reflector that reflects light from the second light source, a shade section, and a reflecting section. The shade section is movable between a first position at which at least a part of the light from the second reflector is shielded and a second position which is spaced apart from the first position. The reflecting section reflects a part of the light reflected from the second reflector when the shade section is at the first position.
