The door main body 11 provided in the building is provided with a plurality of light transmitting portions 12. FIG. 1 shows a case where five light transmitting parts 12 are provided. Each of the translucent portions 12 has a window frame 13, and a plurality of LEDs are attached to the side of the window frame 13 as will be described later. The door body 11 is provided with a knob 14, and a switch 15 for turning on / off the LED is attached in the vicinity of the knob 14.

  As shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of LEDs 16 are provided around the translucent portion 12, and light from the plurality of LEDs 16 is applied to the light guide glass 17. The light guide glass 17 is held by a decorative frame 18. FIG. 2 shows a case where eleven LEDs are provided on each side of the translucent part 12.

  3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. A decorative frame 18 is attached to the window frame 13 of the light transmitting portion 12, and a light guide glass 17 is attached to the decorative frame 18. A plurality of LEDs 16 are attached around the decorative frame 18, and the light guide glass 17 is held and attached to the decorative frame 18 corresponding to the attachment positions of the plurality of LEDs 16. The light guide glass 17 is formed of, for example, a glass with a transparent conductive film, and uses a wire in which the wiring of the LED 16 is less visible with the glass with a transparent conductive film. The light guide glass 17 may be made of glass, glass-like acrylic resin, frosted glass or acrylic resin instead of the glass with a transparent conductive film.

  The light emitting part of the LED 16 is arranged to irradiate light toward the light guide glass 17. Therefore, the light from the LEDs 16 facing each other in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction are mixed in the central portion of the light guide glass 17. On the other hand, the light from the LEDs on the adjacent sides mixes in the right-angle direction, and the mixed light inside the light guide glass 17 passes through the glass plate of the translucent part 12 as illumination light from the front and back of the door. Irradiated. Thereby, the illumination inside and outside the space partitioned by the illumination door becomes possible.

  The light emission color of the LED is white or a light bulb color. For example, red, blue, green, or other colored LEDs may be used in order to provide decoration. Moreover, the LED of which the translucent part 12 is arranged may use the same color LED for each side, or a different color LED for some sides and the same color for other sides. May be used. Furthermore, different emission colors may be used for each side, and LEDs having different emission colors may be mixed on the same side.

  The switch 15 is used to turn on / off the power supplied to the LED 16. The LED 15 is turned on and off in a normal use state, and the LED of the lower light transmitting part 12 of the light transmitting part 12 is turned on as a night light. It has a function to make it.

FIG. 4 shows a case where a light bulb color LED is used as the LED 16 on the upper side of each translucent section 12 and a white LED is used as the LED 16 on the other sides (vertical side, horizontal side and lower side).

  FIG. 4A shows a normal lighting state, and shows a case where the LEDs 16 on the vertical side, the horizontal side, and the lower side are turned on for all of the plurality of translucent portions 12. By this lighting, the white light passes through the translucent part 12 and illumination inside and outside the space partitioned by the illumination door is performed. FIG. 4B shows a normal lighting state in which the illuminance is lowered, and shows a case where the LEDs 16 on the upper side are turned on for all of the plurality of light transmitting parts 12. By this lighting, the inside and outside of the space partitioned by the illumination door is performed by the light bulb colored light through the translucent portion 12. In this case, since the only LEDs that are lit are the LEDs on the upper side of the translucent portion 12, the overall illuminance is lowered.

  FIG.4 (c) has shown the lighting state as a nightlight. The case where the LED 16 on the upper side of the lower light transmitting portion 12 among the plurality of light transmitting portions 12 is turned on as a night light is shown. Thereby, since the translucent part 12 of the lower part of an illumination door is illuminated with light bulb color light, it can be used as a nightlight. FIG. 4D shows the extinguishing state. When no illumination is required, such as during the daytime, the LED of the translucent part 12 is turned off.
