Abstract
Disclosed is a lighting apparatus for power-receiving connector. The power-receiving connector includes a power-receiving accommodation chamber, and a power-receiving unit. The lighting apparatus is disposed on an accommodation bottom face in the power-receiving accommodation chamber, and includes a lighting cover. The lighting cover has a cover top face opposing the accommodation bottom face, and a cover side face disposed between the accommodation bottom face and the cover top face and inclining so as to overhang from the cover top face toward the accommodation bottom face. The cover side face includes a first emission portion directed to a vehicular lower side, and a second emission portion directed to a vehicular lateral side. A first elevation angle exhibited by the first emission portion to the accommodation bottom face is smaller than a second elevation angle exhibited by the second emission portion to the accommodation bottom face.
