In a product display device configured by locking the locking claws provided in, a cover main body that faces the up-down direction and accommodates an illuminating lamp inside, a front end is coupled to the upper and lower portions of the cover main body, and a rear end is An illumination device comprising a support arm facing in the front-rear direction, which includes a retaining claw engageable with the retaining hole or an insertion portion engageable with the top end of the column, and the illumination lamp forwards the commodity display means. Removably attached to the column for better illumination.

(2) In the above item (1), the cover main body is made of an opaque material having a U-shaped horizontal cross section, and its opening is attached to the product display means.

(3) In the above item (2), the cover main body is formed by bending a vertically long steel plate into a U-shaped horizontal cross section, and forming an inwardly folded portion at an edge portion of the cover main body. A light-transmissive lamp cover having an edge portion provided with an outwardly projecting piece that engages with the folded-back portion and is prevented from coming off is removably fitted into the opening of the.

(4) In any one of the above items (1) to (3), the illumination lamp is a fluorescent lamp and the ballast is housed in the lower support arm.
