Abstract
A vehicular lamp with an LED light source in which the translucent member includes a pillar-shaped portion that has at its rear end a condenser lens portion and at its front end a substantially bowl-configured parallel translation controlling portion. Light from the LED light source is formed into parallel light fluxes by the condenser lens portion, and this parallel light fluxes strike the pillar-shaped portion, and then the light path of the parallel light fluxes is formed into a crank configuration in a direction in which the light path separates from the axis of the pillar-shaped portion, thus allowing the reflected light from the parallel translation controlling portion to be resulted in parallel light fluxes that travels toward the front of the lamp and allowing the translucent member to appear to be lit uniformly.
