2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a room lamp is provided as a lighting device on a ceiling of a vehicle such as an automobile. But,
Since this room lamp directly emits light emitted from a light source into a vehicle interior, it is not suitable for illumination for the purpose of decoration such as formation of an atmosphere in the vehicle interior. Therefore, conventionally, the following has been proposed as a means for performing indirect lighting suitable for such decoration on a vehicle ceiling.
