The lamp for generating light, comprises a semiconductor light emitting element for emitting light, a fluorescent material, provided away from the semiconductor light emitting element, a first optical member operable to focus the light generated by the semiconductor light emitting element on the fluorescent material; and a second optical member having an optical center at a position where the fluorescent material is provided, operable to emit light from the fluorescent material based on the light focused by the first optical member to an outside of the lamp. The lamp is used as a headlamp in a vehicle, and the second optical member emits the light from the fluorescent material to the outside of the lamp, so that the second optical member form sat least one of a part of a cut line that defines a boundary between a bright region and a dark region of the headlamp.
