Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of piping and wiring in a bathroom. In this example, a device that can satisfactorily produce and illuminate the underwater in a bathtub is illustrated.
The underwater illuminator 3 is attached to the side wall surface of the tub 2, and a fume port 4 is provided on the bottom surface of the tub 2 so that air bubbles can be blown out from the bottom side of the tub 2. It has become. In the bathroom 1, a lighting device 5 with a wall is provided.
The control box 6 is provided on the ceiling of the bathroom 1.
Are arranged and the control box 6 is electrically connected to the underwater illuminator 3 and the wall-mounted illuminator 5 so that the control box 6 can perform control. Further, a foam rhythm pump 7 is connected to the control box 6 so that air can be sent from the foam rhythm pump 7 to the blowout port 4 via a tube 8. The control box 6 is configured to be operable by a remote controller 9.

FIG. 2 is a schematic sectional view showing an example of the underwater illuminator 3 in an attached state, in which an opening 2a is formed in a side wall surface of the bathtub 2 and a packing 10 is formed in the opening 2a.
The underwater illuminator 3 is attached in a watertight manner through the inside, and a translucent window 3a is provided on the bathroom side of the underwater illuminator 3, and the LEDs 1, 2, 3 of different colors are provided in the underwater illuminator 3. It has been decorated. Note that the LED 1 is configured to emit red light, the LED 2 is configured to emit green light, and the LED 3 is configured to be capable of emitting blue light.

FIG. 3 is a schematic wiring diagram showing an operation switch section of the remote controller 9. The remote controller 9 includes a standard switch 20, a healing 1 switch 21, a healing 2 switch 22, and an interlocking switch 23. Up and down type dimming buttons 24a and 24b are arranged on the left and right below the light transmitting window 25, and a light transmitting window 25 is arranged at the center thereof. Is printed with a color order display 28. The color order display 28
The colors are arranged in the order of red, green, blue, yellow, purple, blue-green, and white, and indicate the order of colors that are sequentially switched each time the light control buttons 24a and 24b are pressed.

FIG. 4 shows the internal structure. Five dimming level LEDs 26 for emitting weak light are arranged on the back side of the light transmitting window 25. Inside, separate high-brightness red, green,
An LED 27 made of blue is provided.

When the standard switch 20 of the remote controller 9 is pressed, the wall-mounted illuminator 5 for illuminating the interior of the bathroom 1 is turned on, and the underwater illuminator 3 is set to an OFF state. When the healing 1 switch 21 is pressed, the wall-mounted illuminator 5 is turned off, the blue LED 3 of the underwater illuminator 3 is turned on, and the bathtub 2 is set to emit blue light. ing. When the healing 2 switch 22 is pressed, the wall-mounted illuminator 5 is turned off.
Then, the red, green, and blue LEDs of the underwater illuminator 3
Lights 2 and 3 are lit, respectively, so that white light mixed with red, green and blue colors is irradiated into the bathtub 2. In a state where the interlock switch 23 is turned on, when the user turns on the separately provided foam rhythm switch 11, the foam rhythm pump 7 is operated, and bubbles are ejected from the fume port 4 into the bathtub 2. At the same time, the wall-mounted illuminator 5 is turned off, the underwater illuminator 3 is turned on, and the light from the underwater illuminator 3 is set to be irradiated into the bathtub 2. Hits the bubbles and the water in the bathtub 2 is more effectively produced.

In this embodiment, the red, green,
Each of the blue LEDs 1, 2, 3 can be appropriately lit to change the color of the light radiated into the bathtub 2.
From the state in which D1 is lit, the right dimming button 24
Each time b is pressed, the lighting is switched from red to green LED 2, the lighting is switched to blue LED 3, the color changes from red to green, and further to blue, and the light control button 24
By pressing b, the color of light is switched in the order of yellow, purple, blue-green, and white. That is, red,
By turning on one or more of the green and blue LEDs, the colors are mixed to form yellow, purple, and blue-green colors, and all the red, green, and blue colors are formed. By turning on the color LED, white color can be obtained. Each time the left light control button 24a is pressed, the color is switched in the opposite direction.

The light control button 24a or 2
By pressing the button 4b, the color of light emitted from the underwater illuminator 3 can be changed in an up-down manner, and the inside of the bathtub 2 can be rendered in a desired color. The healing 1 switch 21 is provided for instantly irradiating the most preferred blue light, and the healing 2 switch 22 is provided for producing underwater in milky color. is there.

In this embodiment, the underwater lighting LED 27 provided inside the translucent window 25 is turned on in conjunction with the underwater lighting device 3, and has the same color as the color emitted from the underwater lighting device 3. The color is radiated outward from the light-transmitting window 25 so that the remote controller 9 can easily recognize what color the bathtub 2 is currently producing.
Since the ED 27 emits bright light and emits bright light outward from the light transmitting window 25, the position of the remote controller 9 can be easily confirmed by the light. That is, when the underwater illuminator 3 is activated, the brightness of the wall-mounted illuminator 5 is reduced or turned off and the interior of the bathroom 1 is dark,
In order for the position of the remote control 9 to be difficult to understand,
The position of the remote controller 9 can be easily confirmed by the light from the light transmitting window 25.

The color emitted from the underwater illuminator 3 and L
By synchronizing the colors emitted from the ED 27, it is possible to easily operate the light control button 24a or 24b to confirm the colors emitted in the water in the bathtub 2, thereby improving the operability. Further, since the color order display 28 is provided, it is possible to recognize which color will be emitted next, and the operability becomes better.

When the standard switch 20 is turned on, the underwater illuminator 3 is turned off, and the wall-mounted illuminator 5 is turned on, the LED 27 in the remote controller 9 is turned off. LED 26 is turned on, and the light of the lighted LED 26 leaks out of the light transmitting window 25. Every time the light control button 24b is pressed, the illuminance of the wall-mounted illuminator 5 is increased, and the indoor When the dimming button 24a is pressed, the illuminance of the wall-mounted illuminator 5 is reduced and the room becomes darker each time the dimming button 24a is pressed, and when one LED 26 for the dimming level is lit. Is set so that the room is darkest and the bathroom is brightest when all five are lit. Therefore, the wall-mounted illuminator 5
Since the number of lighting of the dimming level LED 26 increases each time the light amount increases, the current brightness of the wall-mounted illuminator 5 can be easily recognized by looking at the translucent window 25.

In this embodiment, the underwater illuminator 3 is provided on the side surface of the bathtub 2 to illuminate the inside of the bathtub 2 underwater, but such an illuminator 3 is mounted on the wall surface of the bathroom. Even in the case where the lighting device is provided so that the wall surface can be satisfactorily illuminated, the position of the operation switch unit can be similarly recognized by the light of the LED 27, and the color of the light emitted from the lighting device 3 can be recognized. And operability is improved.
