Abstract

A vehicular lamp includes: an LED (40); an LED mount portion (27) for mounting the LED (40); a reflector (25) having a first opening portion (34) that is disposed in front of a light emitting surface of the LED (40) and through which light from the LED (40) enters, a reflection portion (33) that reflects the light that has entered through the first opening portion (34), and a second opening portion (35) through which the light reflected from the reflection portion (33) is radiated, wherein the area of the first opening portion (34) is smaller than the area of the light emitting surface of the LED (40); and a projection lens (30) that controls the light radiated from the reflector (25) and radiates the light to the front of the lamp.
