    Abstract: A lighting device includes a device body attached to an installation surface, one or more surface light-emitting modules held in the device body, and a cover held in the device body in an opposing relationship with light-emitting surfaces of the surface light-emitting modules. Each of the surface light-emitting modules includes a light-emitting unit having a light-emitting body and a base unit fixed to the device body and configured to removably hold the light-emitting unit by an elastic force. At least portions of the cover facing the light-emitting surfaces of the surface light-emitting modules are made of a light-transmitting material. The cover is held in the device body by a force stronger than the elastic force.
