PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a structure of a light emitting unit capable of closely arranging light emitting modules without damaging the light emitting modules during maintenance inspection operation of the light emitting modules, in the light-emitting unit, a belt-shaped light-emitting area is formed by one directionally arranging a plurality of light-emitting modules, each including a substrate having a light-emitting section provided with a plurality of LEDs and a support body for supporting the substrate by being in contact therewith.SOLUTION: The light emitting module has a cover member detachably installed so as to cover the light emitting section. The cover member has a protection portion covering the entire area of the light emitting section and an engagement portion to be engaged with the light emitting module. The engagement portion is engaged with the support body in a direction orthogonal to the arrangement direction of the light emitting modules.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】複数のＬＥＤが設けられた発光部を有する基板と、当該基板を当接支持する支持体とからなる発光モジュールを、一方向に複数配列させて帯状の発光領域を形成する発光ユニットにおいて、発光モジュールの保守点検作業時に発光モジュールを損傷することなく、かつ、発光モジュールを密接配置することができるような構造を提供せんとするものである。【解決手段】前記発光モジュールには、前記発光部を覆うようにカバー部材が着脱自在に設置されており、前記カバー部材は、前記発光部の全域を覆う保護部と、前記発光モジュールと係合する係合部とを有し、前記係合部は、前記発光モジュールの配列方向と直交する方向において、前記支持体と係合していることを特徴とする。【選択図】 図１
