Abstract: A lighting device has an LED light source and a lens. The lens includes a light emitting surface arranged substantially parallel to a wall of a container when the device is attached to the wall, and a first light receiving surface. The first light receiving surface receives light that is emitted from the LED light source in a direction slanted with respect to the light emitting surface, and takes a concave surface configured such that a distance of the first light receiving surface to the light emitting surface increases from one end to the other end of the lens. The LED light source is disposed while being confronted with one end part of the lens.

Abstract: Provided a vehicle exterior lamp capable of illuminating the ground surrounding a vehicle. When returning to a predetermined position of a parking lot, a road or the like where a vehicle has been parked, a switch of a transmitter is operated. By doing so, the vehicle is illuminated in a predetermined color and a selected mode, and the vicinity of a door of the vehicle is illuminated by this light, so that the condition of the ground can be confirmed. Particularly, the color of the light, emitted from a light-emitting source, can be arbitrarily set, and the setting can be made, taking the brightness and the saving of the energy into consideration. Even if discriminating information, such as a code, is not provided between the transmitter and a receiver, the color of the illumination of the vehicle can be discriminated from that of other vehicles.

Abstract: A lamp unit provided with an LED light source is attached to the back surface of an inside handle vessel, and the position of the light source is fixed. Then, the inside handle vessel together with the lamp unit is installed in a door trim.

Abstract: An LED display device has an indicator having a housing. The housing has at least one incident portion which receives light from at least one LED. The incident portion has a reflection surface at its inside surface. LEDs emit light from one side or one longitudinal end of the incident portion. A refraction plate may be provided to direct emission of the incident light for viewing by a user.
