[Solution] This lighting head (4) has a light source (5), a reflective plate (6), and a diffusion plate (7). The light source (5) is disposed to face the reflective plate (6) in an interior space which is defined by a curved surface shape of the reflective plate (6). An optical axis (A) of light output from the light source (5) faces a vertical direction in a state in which the lighting head (4) faces a directly lower side. The reflective plate (6) has a curved surface shape, which is asymmetrical with respect to the optical axis (A), and guides, in a specific direction, the reflected light obtained by reflecting emission light such that an irradiation area formed on an irradiation surface is offset to a specific direction with respect to the directly lower side of the lighting head (4) in a state in which the lighting head (4) faces the directly lower side. The diffusion plate (7) is mounted in an opening of the reflective plate (6), and diffuses the reflected light such that the light intensity of the irradiation area becomes uniform.
