Abstract

To achieve improved visibility and alleviation of discomfort during light emission of a vehicular lamp using LEDs. The vehicular lamp includes a control part for outputting a control signal indicating light luminous intensity emitted from a light source and a light source driving part for driving the light source based on the control signal, where the light emitted from the light source driven by the light source driving part repeats a predetermined luminous intensity change pattern at a predetermined cycle, and where the predetermined luminous intensity change pattern includes a first section where the luminous intensity is increased instantaneously from a lowest to a highest value, a second section where the luminous intensity is maintained at the highest value, a third section where the luminous intensity is decreased from the highest to the lowest value, and a fourth section where the luminous intensity is maintained at the lowest value.
