Abstract
An occupation space of a lamp including a mechanism for adjusting a reference position of an optical axis is reduced. The optical axis adjustment mechanismadjusts a reference position of an optical axis of a projection lens through which at least some of the light emitted from the light sourcepasses. The optical axis adjustment mechanismincludes an actuator, an aiming screwand a slider. The actuatorincludes an electrically driven output shaftwhich pivots the optical axis in a horizontal direction about a rotation axis B extending in a vertical direction. The slideris disposed to be slidable along the rotation axis B. The aiming screwslides the slideraccording to its rotation so as to translate the optical axis in the vertical direction.
