Abstract
There is provided a lamp composed of a light source, a tilted ellipsoidal rotation surface reflector, and an annular cylindrical lens. The tilted ellipsoidal rotation surface reflector is formed of an ellipsoidal rotation surface emerging when an ellipsoid, having a first focal line located on the center axis of the light source and adjacent the light source and a second focal point located on an oblique line passing through the first focal point and tilted appropriately from the light-source center axis and assumed on a plane containing the light-source center axis and the oblique line, is rotated around the light-source center axis. The annular cylindrical lens is obtained by rotating, around the light-source center axis, the cross-sectional configuration of an aspheric lens having a focal point adjacent the second focal point of the ellipsoid and having an optical axis nearly parallel to the light-source center axis.
