Abstract
A headlight of the present invention includes: a fluorescent material light-emitting section; a reflector that reflects light emitted from the fluorescent material light-emitting section so as to emit reflected light out of the headlight; and a mini-mirror that reflects, toward a predetermined surface of the fluorescent material light-emitting section provided substantially at a focal point of the reflector, at least part of light that has not been directed toward the reflector. The mini-mirror has its optical axis inclined with respect to a normal line of the predetermined surface.
