An illumination device includes a light emitting module having a module substrate and a semiconductor light emitting element mounted to the module substrate, a base having a mounting surface on which the light emitting module is mounted, and a cover portion configured to cover an edge portion of the module substrate without pressing the edge portion. The module substrate includes a surface which is bonded to the mounting surface of the base through an adhesive layer. The base includes a protrusion provided to protrude upward from the mounting surface without being covered by the module substrate. The cover portion is provided on the protrusion. |
