A headlamp includes (i) a semiconductor laser for emitting laser beams, (ii) a light emitting section that includes a first fluorescent material having a peak of emission spectrum which peak falls within a range from 450 nm to 500 nm, and that emits white fluorescence while being irradiated with exciting light emitted from the semiconductor laser, and (iii) a transmission filter for shielding the laser beams and transmitting the fluorescence emitted from the light emitting section. |
