Abstract
A projection lens for lighting equipment of an aspect of the present invention is characterized by formed in a shape where N of sector-shaped lens parts each of which corresponds to a central angle 2α degrees (α=180/N, N is an integer more than or equal to 3) and is bilaterally symmetric in a rotationally asymmetric elliptical collimator lens are circumferentially disposed. The projection lens for lighting equipment of such aspect is formed in the shape where N of the sector-shaped lens parts each of which corresponds to a central angle 2α degrees (α=180/N, N is an integer more than or equal to 3) and is bilaterally symmetric in the rotationally asymmetric elliptical collimator lens are circumferentially disposed. Accordingly, the projection lens for lighting equipment with a novel design which has a shape of a N-sided polygon (e.g. quadrilateral) in planar view or a shape similar to the N-sided polygon and has common edges (N edges) formed on a surface without impairment in function as a collimator lens can be configured.
