Red lamp and vehicle lighting fixture

Abstract

A red lamp is provided comprising a blue LED array and a red emissive member. The red emissive member is made of a resin having dispersed therein a phosphor capable of absorbing blue light and emitting red light, the phosphor being selected from among silicate, SiAlON, silicon nitride, sulfide, and garnet structure phosphors. The red lamp offers high efficiency, high light intensity, and improved visibility both in front and lateral directions and is thus suited for use in vehicle lighting fixtures such as red rear position lamps and red stop lamps.
