Abstract
Optical axes are simultaneously adjusted by tiltably mounting a plurality of lighting device units on a common unit support member. A rectilinear propagation blocking member of each lighting device unit is fixed with screw via the elastic bush to the unit support member, so that the optical axis can be adjusted. Due to the above structure, even when the accuracy of shapes of the rectilinear propagation blocking member and the unit support member are not sufficiently ensured and also even when the accuracy of the attaching work can not be sufficiently ensured, the optical axes of the lighting device units can be arranged in order by adjusting the optical axis of the rectilinear propagation blocking member.
Claims5
A headlight comprising:
- a plurality of lighting device units, wherein each lighting device unit includes a light emitting element and at least one optical member for controlling the light emitted by the light emitting element;
- and
- a unit support member that supports the plurality of lighting device units,
- wherein the optical member and the light emitting element of each lighting device unit are individually attached to the unit support member,
- wherein an optical axis of a predetermined optical member in each lighting device unit is adjustable relative to the unit support member, and
- wherein a predetermined light distribution pattern is formed when light is irradiated by the plurality of lighting device units.
