A semiconductor light emitting device (A1) includes a case (1) and a plurality of semiconductor light emitting elements (3) arranged in the case. The case (1) is formed with a plurality of reflectors (11) each in the form of a truncated cone surrounding a respective one of the semiconductor light emitting elements (3). Current is applied to each of the semiconductor light emitting elements (3) via two wires (6). Each of the wires (6) includes a first end, and a second end opposite to the first end. The first end is connected to the semiconductor light emitting element (3), whereas the second end is located outside the space surrounded by the reflector (11).
