Abstract: A lighting device includes a light source capable of emitting light and a collimator lens. The collimator lens has a recess facing the light source. The recess includes an interior surface. The interior surface includes a bottom surface smaller than an opening. The interior surface includes an inner side surface tapering toward the bottom surface. The inner side surface is generated by rotating a straight line around an optical axis of the light. The straight line is inclined at an angle of at least 10 degrees and at most 20 degrees with respect to the optical axis. The light enters the bottom surface at a light distribution angle of only three degrees or less with respect to the optical axis, and enters the inner side surface at a light distribution angle of more than three degrees with respect to the optical axis.
