Abstract

A lighting device includes: a light-emitting element having multiple first light-emitting sections and multiple second light-emitting sections; a first optical member that causes multiple pieces of first light outputted from the multiple first light-emitting sections and multiple pieces of second light outputted from the multiple second light-emitting sections to be substantially collimated, and outputs the multiple pieces of first light and the multiple pieces of second light; and a second optical member that shapes beam shapes of the multiple pieces of first light, beam shapes of the multiple pieces of second light, or both the beam shapes of the multiple pieces of first light and the multiple pieces of second light, and outputs the multiple pieces of first light and the multiple pieces of second light in a manner that the beam shapes are different between the multiple pieces of first light and the multiple pieces of second light.
