2. A light source means is provided in the vicinity of a first focus of the ellipsoidal mirror, and a plurality of reflecting surfaces are provided in front of the ellipsoidal mirror so that a normal line passes through the first focus of the ellipsoidal mirror. A Fresnel mirror is arranged, an opening is provided in a part of the Fresnel mirror corresponding to the second focal point of the ellipsoidal mirror, and a condenser lens is arranged in front of the opening. The light flux reflected by the ellipsoidal mirror and condensed at the second focus and the light flux reflected by the Fresnel mirror and then reflected by the ellipsoidal mirror and condensed at the second focus are passed through the opening of the Fresnel mirror. The illuminating device is characterized in that the light is incident on the condenser lens and is condensed by the condenser lens to illuminate a predetermined surface.
