To provide an illumination device on which a plurality of substrates each mounted with an LED can be made to be mounted in an extremely simple manner, in which the LEDs can be replaced economically for each of a plurality of the substrates, and furthermore, changes in the number of the LEDs and between right and left positions can also be carried out easily.
On the lower face of an illumination case 3, a fitting groove 12 is installed which is directed to the longitudinal direction with the width dimension of an opening part made smaller than the width at a depth part, and on a depth face of the fitting groove 12, electrodes 16 having different polarities on both front and rear sides are installed extending over the whole length thereof. A plurality of the substrates 5 each having two terminals contactable with both electrodes 16 and the LED 4 are inserted into the fitting groove 12 of the illumination case 3 from the opening part thereof, and made to be horizontally rotated at the depth part, thereby being prevented from falling downward, and being housed movably in the right and left directions.
