Abstract

The present invention comprises a discharge lamp (2) for emitting light; a cold mirror (4), having an opening portion, for reflecting the light emitted from the discharge lamp; a reflecting mirror (10), located on the opening portion side of the cold mirror, for reflecting the light reflected by the cold mirror; a light-shielding drum (6) having a light emission port (8) for emitting the light reflected by the reflecting mirror; a stepping motor 14 for driving the reflecting mirror and the light-shielding drum to rotate about an optical axis of the discharge lamp; rotational angle detecting means (18, 20) for detecting a rotational angle of the reflecting mirror and the light-shielding drum; and control means (40, 46) for controlling, according to the rotational angle detected by the rotational angle detecting means, the rotational driving of the reflecting mirror and the light-shielding drum (6) caused by the stepping motor 14; wherein any of a plurality of irradiation ports is selectively irradiated through the light emission port of the light-shielding drum with the light reflected by the reflecting mirror.
