An endoscope light source unit comprising: a first light source section emitting a first illumination light composed of white light a second light source section emitting a second illumination light orthogonally to a direction in which the first illumination light travels a light combining member transmitting the first illumination light through a transmission section and, at the same time, reflecting the second illumination light by means of a reflection section to form a combined light so that a beam of the second illumination light may be located in a central part of a beam of the first illumination light a shaping lens for modifying the beam of the second illumination light emitted and a condenser lens for converging the combined light.
