Abstract

A light, and particularly a vehicle light, can prevent a reflected image of a resin injection trace (reflected in an adjacent connecting surface surrounding a reflecting surface) from being observed through a projecting surface, thereby preventing deterioration of appearance of the light. The light can include a light source and a lens body having a resin injection trace by injection molding. The lens body can include, as its surface, optical surfaces including an incident surface, a reflecting surface, and a projecting surface that are configured to form a predetermined light distribution pattern. Connecting surfaces that shape and define a structure of the lens body can connect the optical surfaces, and can be configured so as not to engage in the formation of the light distribution pattern. The incident surface can be a lens surface that can receive light from the light source to allow the light to enter the lens body. The reflecting surface can reflect the light from the light source toward the projecting surface so as to form the light distribution pattern. The projecting surface can be a lens surface that can receive the light directly from the light source and the light reflected by the reflecting surface, and project the same. The adjacent connecting surface of the connecting surfaces can be configured so as not to generate a light path from the resin injection trace via the connecting surface to the projecting surface.
