An illumination device is provided which includes a lighting stand (3) in which a torch portion (11) including a light source support (13) on which a plurality of light sources (2a to 2c) is supported is provided upright on a base in which a control circuit unit (22) to change the light emission from each of the light sources 2a to 2c, a light scattering member (4) formed by molding a semitransparent resin to have a cap-like shape nearly like a candle frame, fitted on the light source support (13) and which scatters the illumination light emitted from the light sources (2a to 2c), to be bright itself, a shade member (5) formed from a transparent resin and attached over the outer surface of the lighting stand (3), and a shielding/diffusing member (6) assembled, being rounded like a cylinder, inside the shade member (5) to diffuse the illumination light emitted from the light sources (2a to 2c). Thus, the illumination light emitted from the light sources can be projected on the shade member (5) to create flaring illumination light like a candle frame.
