A lighting unit includes a board on which a light emitting portion having a semiconductor light emitting device is arrayed on an upper side along the longitudinal direction. The lighting unit also includes a reflector which is disposed on the upper side of the board, and has a reflection portion inside the reflector for reflecting a light from the light emitting portion, as well as covering the light emitting portion. The lighting unit further includes a case disposed so as to support the board and the reflector from the top and the bottom.

Lighting device, lighting unit, and support

This aims to provide a support () comprising a bracket () attached to a predetermined structure, and a generally cylindrical holder () retained in the bracket (). This bracket () has a receiving hole () for accommodating the holder (). This holder () has a first rib () erected on a curved outer circumference, and an elastic portion () for giving the first rib () the degree of freedom for motions in the substantially radial direction. This also aims to provide a lighting unit () characterized by comprising a board (), in which light emitting portions () having semiconductor light emitting devices are arrayed on the upper face side along the longitudinal direction, reflector members (A andB) mounted on the side of the upper face of the board and having reflecting portions (and) for covering the light emitting units and for reflecting the lights from the light emitting units, and a case member () disposed to support the board and the reflector members upward and downward.
