Abstract
A lighting device is provided in which a head part is allowed to be driven relative to a main unit in a horizontal circular direction and in a vertical circular direction separately without the need for increasing a space for the layout of the main unit and the like. The lighting device of the present invention includes a driving unit () connecting a main unit () and a head part (). The driving unit () includes first and second motors, a first power transmission mechanism that rotates the driving unit () in a horizontal circular direction (the direction of an arrow F) with the driving force of the first motor, and a second power transmission mechanism that rotates the driving unit () in a vertical circular direction (the direction of an arrow B) with the driving force of the second motor. With this configuration, the head part () is allowed to be driven relative to the main unit () in the horizontal circular direction and the vertical circular direction separately, without the need for increasing a space for the layout of the main unit () and the like.
