Abstract

A spotlight and a converging lens are provided. The converging lens has a light-emitting surface and a light incidence surface. An outer diameter of the converging lens is progressively decreased from the light-emitting surface toward the light incidence surface. The light-emitting surface has an opening. A maximum distance between the light incidence surface and the light-emitting surface along a thickness direction of the converging lens is H1, a maximum distance between a bottom surface of the opening and the light incidence surface along the thickness direction is H2, and 0.3×H1≤H2≤0.5×H1. The light incidence surface has at least one annular groove. The at least one annular groove has a central axis. The converging lens of the invention may converge light beam and mitigate a light spill phenomenon, and the spotlight applying the converging lens has good lighting quality.
