1. A vehicle lamp provided in a vehicle that travels at a corner by tilting a vehicle body toward a turn direction, the vehicle lamp comprising:
a light source;
an optical member configured to form a predetermined light distribution pattern by radiating light from the light source to a front side of the lamp; 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 the vehicle is not irradiated with the light when the object is detected,
wherein the controller is configured to define the first non-irradiation range based on a case where the vehicle body is in a straight traveling state, and
wherein the controller is configured to, based on a determination that when the vehicle body is in a cornering state,
acquire a coordinate of height information of the object with respect to a road coordinate system, 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 coordinate of 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 by converting, from the road coordinate system to a vehicle body coordinate system, the coordinate of the height information based on the tilting state of the vehicle body, and by specifying a partial pattern corresponding to the converted coordinate of the height information, the partial pattern being included in the predetermined light distribution pattern.
