Patent ID: 7712935

Claim:
A reflector-type lamp unit comprising: a light emitting element which is disposed on an optical axis extending in a front-and-rear direction of the lamp unit, the light emitting element comprising a surface emitting chip oriented to face in a direction substantially orthogonal to the optical axis and a substrate supporting the surface emitting chip; a first reflector which faces the light emitting element and forwardly reflects light from the light emitting element; a direct light control member which is disposed in front of the light emitting element and controls direct light from the light emitting element, the direct light being light directed toward a region in front of the first reflector without being incident on the first reflector; and a bracket on which the substrate is fixedly supported, wherein the direct light control member comprises: a base portion which is fixedly supported on the bracket at a position more forward than the substrate; a first lens portion which extends from the base portion and deflects a first portion of the direct light in a direction approaching the optical axis; and an extended portion which extends from the first lens portion toward a rear side of the first lens portion, wherein the extended portion controls a second portion of the direct light differently from the first lens portion, wherein a rear surface of the extended portion is configured to randomly diffuse the second portion of the direct light.
