Abstract
A vehicle cornering lamp capable of broadly irradiating a road surface ahead of and in an oblique direction of a vehicle while the vehicle is moving around a curve. The vehicle cornering lamp includes three reflector units A, B, and C, whose light emitting directions are respectively set to angles of 30°, 45°, and 60°, with respect to the traveling direction of the vehicle. The vehicle cornering lamp also includes a control unit for controlling light emission—from the reflector units A, B, and C—according to the travel conditions of the vehicle. When the vehicle turns to the left at an intersection, a traveling road onto which the vehicle will turn left, and a road shoulder, are sufficiently irradiated by switching on the reflector units A, B and C in the order of A→ B→ C→ B→ A, so that pedestrians can quickly be detected.
