Abstract
A light source device includes: a light emission portion; a cooling channel configured to guide air toward the light emission portion; a rotational member disposed within the cooling channel in such a condition as to be rotatable around a predetermined rotation shaft by gravity, and configured to switch the cooling channel to a first channel branched from the cooling channel in the downstream when the light source device is set in a first position, and to a second channel different from the first channel when the light source device is set in a second position, wherein a position of the center of gravity of the rotational member is located at a position shifted from the center between the rotation shaft and an end of the rotational member away from the rotation shaft toward the end.
