Abstract:
This vehicular lighting equipment provided on a vehicle (100), which is capable of travelling around a corner by tilting the vehicle body toward the turning direction, comprises a light source, an optical member by which the light emitted from the light source is directed forward from the lighting equipment to form a predetermined light distribution pattern (PL), and a control unit for adjusting the predetermined light distribution pattern (PL) according to the tilted state of the vehicle body. The control unit is configured to adjust a predetermined light distribution pattern (PL2) such that in a light distribution pattern (PL1) corresponding to when the vehicle body is tilted, no light is irradiated in a region located outside the light distribution pattern (PL) corresponding to when the vehicle body is in the vertical state.
