<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lighting device for vehicle, which can be easily adapted to design changes in order to comply with a requested luminous intensity while minimizing the whole lighting device. <P>SOLUTION: The lighting device is configured so that light emitted from a light source at a large angle with respect to a main optical axis of the light source is more significantly condensed closer to the main optical axis than is the light emitted from the light source at a relatively smaller angle with respect to the main optical axis of the light source. The lighting device includes a lens which has a first lens cut and a second lens cut. The first lens cut can allow light L1' emitted from a light source S at a relatively smaller angle with respect to the main optical axis of the light source to pass therethrough. The second lens cut is arranged outside the first lens cut so as to condense light L2' emitted from the light source S at a larger angle with respect to a main optical axis CL of the light source S close to the main optical axis CL of the light source. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
