An illumination system includes an illumination unit and a thermoelectric conversion module. The illumination unit includes a light source, and a reflection plate capable of radiating heat from the light source to the outer circumference of the plate. The thermoelectric conversion module includes lower and upper substrates, lower and upper electrodes provided on the facing surfaces of the lower and upper substrates, and thermoelectric elements disposed between the lower and upper electrodes. The lower substrate of the thermoelectric conversion module is fixed to the reflection plate via a heat transfer member. The upper substrate of the thermoelectric conversion module is connected via a heat releasing path member to a support member (heat absorber) having a thermal conductivity higher than that of air.
