To simplify a power-supply structure to light sources 7, 8, and 9 and improve the efficiency of use of light from the light sources 7, 8, and 9.
A lighting apparatus 100 includes a light guide member 1 which guides light from the light source 7, and a light guide member 2 which guides light from the light sources 8 and 9, the light guide members 1 and 2 being stacked in the direction of the axis of the lighting apparatus 100. Light guided by the light guide member 1 is emitted out of the outer peripheral surface 1a of the light guide member 1, and light guided by the light guide member 2 is emitted out of the outer peripheral surface 2a of the light guide member 2. A through-hole 3 is formed on the light guide member 1. The light source 7 is disposed to face an end face 1b of the light guide member 1, while the light sources 8 and 9 are disposed to face an end face 2b of the light guide member 2 across the through-hole 3. The inner peripheral surface 1d of the light guide member 1 is provided with a reflecting means 5. Light from the light sources 8 and 9 is guided to travel through the through-hole 3, passing through the end face 2b of the light guide member 2 to come into the light guide member 2. Out of light emitted from the light sources 8 and 9, light having reached the inner peripheral surface 1d of the light guide member 1 is reflected by the reflecting means 5.
