A light emitting apparatus capable of increasing the number of substrates formed from one multi-surface pattern substrate and capable of reducing the manufacturing cost. The light emitting apparatus (100) includes a belt-like substrate (101), a light emitting element (102) mounted on the substrate (101), and a luminous flux control member (103) mounted on the substrate (101). The substrate (101) has a pair of fracture surfaces (121) formed at predetermined intervals along a lengthwise direction and formed at both ends in a widthwise direction between luminous flux control members (103) neighboring each other along the lengthwise direction, wherein dimensions W1 and W2 in the widthwise direction between the pair of fracture surfaces (121) are less than a dimension in the widthwise direction of the luminous flux control member (103), and the dimension W2 in the widthwise direction of a part overlapping the luminous flux control member (103) in a plan view is less than the dimension W1 in the widthwise direction between the pair of fracture surfaces.
