Light 4
Is set by setting a lamp (not shown) inside the top 6 of the conical cover 5 and is installed with the open bottom 7 opposite to the top 6 facing downward. Since the irradiation range of the lamp is approximately within the extension plane of the cover 5 (inside of the dashed line D), the installation direction of the cover 5 causes the irradiation direction to be the floor C of the game arcade, and It is supposed to be.

[0010] The lamp is supplied with electric power by wiring (not shown) through the seat 3, the legs 2, and the floor C.
