an electricity generating unit comprising a solenoid generator installed at a predetermined position within the lamp housing; an electricity storage unit connected with the solenoid generator and installed at a predetermined position within the lamp housing; a moisture removing device connected with the electricity storage unit, the moisture removing device configured to remove moisture from the lamp housing; and a control unit connected with the electricity storage unit, the control unit configured to control supply of electricity between the electricity storage unit and the moisture removing device. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The moisture removing lamp of claim 1, wherein the solenoid generator comprises: a solenoid; and a magnet disposed within the solenoid. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The moisture removing lamp of claim 2, wherein the solenoid generator is configured to produce electricity by magnetic force that is formed by inducing movement of the magnet positioned in the solenoid using vibration generated in the vehicle. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The moisture removing lamp of claim 3, wherein the solenoid generator further comprises a vibration transmitting device configured to transmit vibration generated in the vehicle to the magnet. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The moisture removing lamp of claim 1, wherein: the electricity storage unit is connected with the electricity generating unit; the electricity storage unit is supplied with and stores electricity generated by the solenoid generator of the electricity generating unit; and the electricity storage unit is configured to supply the stored electricity to the moisture removing device. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The moisture removing lamp of claim 5, wherein: the electricity storage unit comprises a storage battery; and the storage battery comprises: an electricity receiving unit configured to be supplied with electricity from the solenoid generator; and an electricity sending unit configured to supply electricity to the moisture removing device. ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) The moisture removing lamp of claim 5, wherein: the electricity storage unit comprises a capacitor; and the capacitor comprises: an electricity receiving unit configured to be supplied with electricity from the solenoid generator; and an electricity sending unit configured to supply electricity to the moisture removing device. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) The moisture removing lamp of claim 6, wherein the control unit is connected between the electricity sending unit of the electricity storage unit and the moisture removing device. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The moisture removing lamp of claim 1, wherein the control unit comprises: a humidity detecting sensor configured to detect humidity in the lamp housing; and a controller connected with the humidity detecting sensor, and configured to operate the moisture removing device in the lamp when humidity in the lamp exceeds a predetermined humidity value. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The moisture removing lamp of claim 9, wherein the humidity detecting sensor and the controller are integrally coupled to each other. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The moisture removing lamp of claim 1, wherein the moisture removing device comprises: a fan configured to circulate air when supplied with electricity from the electricity storage unit; and a heat generating device. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The moisture removing lamp of claim 1, wherein the moisture removing device comprises a fan configured to circulate air when supplied with electricity from the electricity storage unit. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The moisture removing lamp of claim 1, wherein the moisture removing device comprises a heat generating device configured to generate heat when supplied with electricity from the electricity storage unit. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The moisture removing lamp of claim 11, wherein the heat generating device comprises a heat generating plate configured to generate heat when supplied with electricity.
