VEHICLE LAMP
A vehicle lamp includes: a light source; an optical member configured to form a predetermined light distribution pattern by radiating light; and a controller configured to adjust the predetermined light distribution pattern so as to include a first non-irradiation range in which an object outside a vehicle is not irradiated with the light when the object is detected. The controller is configured to define the first non-irradiation range based on a case where a vehicle body is in a straight traveling state. When the vehicle body is in a cornering state, the controller is configured to acquire height information of the object in accordance with a tilting state of the vehicle body, define a second non-irradiation range narrower than the first non-irradiation range based on the height information, and adjust the predetermined light distribution pattern so as to include the second non-irradiation range instead of the first non-irradiation range.
