Abstract
A short-wave light transmitting diode lamp unit has a printed circuit board disposed in a housing. A plurality of short-wave light emitting diode chips is mounted on the printed circuit board so that a light emission side of the light emitting diode chip faces an opening of the housing. An outer glass as a light transmitting plate is attached to the opening of the housing. The outer glass is made of a glass material having high ultraviolet ray transmittance. The outer glass is prevented from degradation caused by the ultraviolet rays. Thus, the light output efficiency is kept in good level and long lifetime is assured. An overall structure becomes simple, thereby reducing the production costs.
