Problem: To provide a modular lighting unit that allows freely designing a lighting fitting in accordance with the demand for illumination design of the user, and moreover that can be easily assembled, resulting from the simple structure thereof, whereby the cost can be substantially reduced, and its commercial value is high. Solution: A modular lighting unit, including one light emitting elementdisposed in a lamp chamber that is enclosed by a caseand a cover, the caseand the coverbeing combined with each other in such a way that the peripheral wallof the covercovers the peripheral wallof the case, and in the mutually combined state, they being fixed to each other with an engaging partprovided for either one of them being engaged with an engaged partprovided for the other by snap fitting. Between the light emitting elementand the irradiation aperture, there being disposed a lens body. A plurality of types of lens bodiesthat emit the light originated from the LEDin different light distribution patterns are previously prepared, and an appropriate one is selected from among them.
