Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a lighting device using a luminous body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art At present, various kinds of lighting fixtures are used in various places such as homes. Some of these luminaires are provided with a light radiating body such as a shade cover glove so as to cover a luminous body such as a fluorescent lamp or an incandescent lamp. This light diffuser can reflect and disperse the light emitted from the illuminant to change the light to a softer one or change the color of the light. It has the effect of changing

[0003]

It is common practice to add a decoration function to this light emitting body to enhance the decoration effect. However, it is necessary to create various designs in terms of shape and color. At rest. Some chandeliers use small light bulbs for decoration.However, this is limited to the improvement of the lamp itself, not the improvement of the light radiating body. There was a problem in that it occurred. At present, it can be said that light diffusers such as seed covers, gloves, and the like are tied to the purpose of diffusing the original light, and no innovative improvements have been put to practical use. The present invention aims to solve these problems, and in light emitting bodies such as shades, gloves, etc., it is possible to realize a positive decoration by a light emitting body without being limited to only a function of diffusing light, and It is an object of the present invention to provide a lighting fixture which eliminates the problem of power consumption and broken balls due to the decoration.

[0004]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a light radiating member such as a shade or a cover disposed around a light emitting member.
The above problem is solved by providing a lighting device characterized by incorporating the light emitting diode 3 into the light radiating body 2 in the lighting device having the above.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the operation string 4 of the luminous body 1 suspended from the lighting apparatus of the first aspect also serves as an operation wire of the light emitting diode 3.
The above-mentioned problem is solved by providing a lighting apparatus characterized in that an operation switch 5 of the light emitting diode 3 is provided at a tip of the operation string 4.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a side view of a lighting device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

A lighting fixture according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:
It is of a type in which a shade 2 is provided above a light-emitting body 1 such as a fluorescent lamp or an incandescent lamp and is suspended from a ceiling.
Sade 2 is composed of a plurality of bones 2a extending radially from the center.
And a plate 2b supported and stretched by the bone 2a. The overall shape may be an optimal shape in consideration of light reflection, light transmission of the plate portion 2b, visual effects given by the form of the lighting fixture itself, and the like, but in this example, an umbrella shape is used. The tip of the bone 2a slightly protrudes from the plate 2b. As for the material of the shade 2, synthetic resin, metal, pottery, glass, wood, paper and the like are appropriately combined and applied. Light-emitting diodes 3 are installed at a predetermined interval around the periphery of the seed 2, that is, at the tip of the bone 2a in the embodiment of the present invention.
The color of the light emitting diode 3 is appropriately selected and used in consideration of the decorative effect. Further, the electric wiring to the light emitting diode 3 is incorporated in the bone part 2a so as to be inconspicuous. In addition, the mounting position and the number of the light emitting diodes 3 to be installed can be appropriately changed, for example, provided on the plate portion 2b. The lighting device according to the embodiment of the present invention is provided with an operation string 4, and each time the operation string 4 is pulled, a switch to which the base end of the string is connected operates, and the luminous body 1 is turned on. It is possible to switch the number of lights and to turn on the nightlight. By adding functions such as turning on / off the light emitting diode 3 to this switch,
The light emitting diode 3 can be operated. Note that FIG.
As shown in (1), a method may be used in which the operation string 4 also serves as an operation wire of the light emitting diode 3, and an operation switch 5 for the light emitting diode 3 is separately provided at the tip of the operation string 4. In this case, the operating wire is required to have durability against tensile force. The switch may be of various types such as a push button type and a pressure sensitive type. In this method, since the light emitter 1 and the light emitting diode 3 can be operated separately, there is no need to add the operation of the light emitting diode 3 to the switch itself as in the above method. Therefore, the switch itself can use the one used in the conventional lighting equipment as it is.

The light emitting diode 3 incorporated in the lighting fixture may be turned on simultaneously with the light emitter 1 or turned on when the light emitter 1 is turned off. In addition, the operation can be performed in various patterns, such as setting to automatically blink, and automatically turning on the light emitting diode 3 by sensing the surrounding brightness.

As another embodiment of the present invention, FIG.
As shown in (1), the light emitting diode 3 may be installed so as to be embedded in the surface of the cover glove 2 provided so as to cover the light emitting body 1 or in a portion of their mounting frame.
The present invention is not limited to the ceiling hanging type, and can be applied to various lighting fixtures, for example, those directly mounted on a ceiling, those mounted on a wall, and those of a stand type. As for the switches, the present invention is not limited to the switches using the operation cords 4, but various switches such as a remote switch such as a remote controller and an automatic switch using an infrared ray or a photosensitive element can be adopted. Further, the light emitting diode 3 may be provided in a concentrated manner at a predetermined position of the lighting device main body, and a structure may be employed in which light is transmitted to a portion around the shade by using an optical fiber. Also, the luminous body 1 has the cover 2
In the case of a luminaire of a type covered with a light-emitting diode, the light-emitting diode electric wire 6 may also serve as a hanging string of the cover 2 as shown in FIG. Thereby, even if the cover 2 is removed when the light-emitting body 1 is replaced, the cover 2 is maintained in a suspended state, so that it is not necessary to put the cover on the floor each time, and the replacement work is facilitated. be able to.

[0010]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, it is possible to provide a lighting apparatus in which a light emitting body is provided with a decoration function of a light emitting diode, and that there is no problem in power consumption and broken balls. Further, in the second invention of the present application, since the operation switch of the light emitting diode is separately provided at the tip of the operation string, the switch itself of the main body can be used as it is in the conventional lighting fixture.
