Abstract
A lighting unit can project light in a linear fashion without enlarging a light guide body. The lighting unit can include an upward-directed LED and a light guide body. The light guide body can include: a light incident portion to receive light from the LED and collimate the incident light; a first reflecting surface provided to a front portion above the light incident portion, to reflect the entering light; second reflecting surfaces provided to a rearer portion than the first reflecting surface, configured to reflect the entering light toward respective sides of the lighting unit; and third reflecting surfaces located outside of the second reflecting surfaces in the left-to-right direction, to reflect the light from the second reflecting surfaces forward. The second reflecting surfaces are curved to direct the light radially, and the third reflecting surfaces are provided to extend more forward than the second reflecting surfaces.
