Abstract

To provide a lamp that can improve the long-distance visibility of light vehicles. [Solution] The lighting fixture 100 can be attached to a light vehicle 200. The target sensor 110 senses the area in front. The high beam light source 120 can illuminate a high beam area above the horizontal line. The controller 130 detects targets in front according to the output of the target sensor 110 and controls the lighting state of the high beam light source 120 so as not to cause glare to the detected targets.
