Claim Text:
1. A light-emitting apparatus comprising: an elongated substrate; a plurality of semiconductor light-emitting elements arranged in a straight line on the substrate in a longitudinal direction of the substrate; two electrodes provided on the substrate on a same side of the substrate as the semiconductor light-emitting elements and supply power to the plurality of semiconductor light-emitting elements; and a sealing member that includes an optical wavelength converter and that seals the semiconductor light-emitting elements, the electrodes being disposed externally of the sealing member, wherein the sealing member extends along a straight line in a direction of arrangement of the semiconductor light-emitting elements, extends in the longitudinal direction of the substrate, to both end edges of the substrate, is spaced from each longitudinal edge of the substrate and seals the semiconductor light-emitting elements collectively.
