In these HID light sources, a ballast is used for lighting control. The luminaire is attached to the top of a pole installed on the ground, the ballast is attached to the inside of the pole, and the luminaire and the ballast are connected by an electric wire or the like wired inside the pole (for example, the following patent) Reference 1).

  Also, as shown in FIG. 4, a joint box 40 that houses a wiring breaker 42 that is connected to the power cable 41 at one terminal and connected to the ballast 44 at the other terminal is installed inside a pole 49. Using this joint box 40, an electrician at the time of on-site construction connects the primary input wire of the power cable 41 and the secondary wiring (stabilizer 44, lighting device 46) in the joint box 40. Doing work. The joint box 40 can be attached by opening a detachable opening lid 491 of the pole 49. Further, the opening lid 491 is opened, and the ballast 44 is hooked on the ballast hook 492 and attached. In FIG. 4, a power cable 41 is connected to a wiring breaker 42, the wiring breaker 42 is connected to a ballast 44 by a wiring 43, and the ballast 44 is connected to a lighting fixture 46 by a wiring 45.

  As shown in FIG. 4, it is very troublesome to attach the ballast 44 and the joint box 40 to the inside of the pole and to perform the connection work, and the burden on the construction side is large. Furthermore, when a plurality of lighting fixtures are attached to the pole, a plurality of ballasts are required accordingly, and the burden on the construction side is further increased.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the opening size of the opening of the pole 49 is based on a predetermined standard. When the joint box 40 is attached to the front of the opening, the ballast 44 is connected to the joint box 40. It will be installed in the up and down position. Because of such restrictions on arrangement, when regularly performing maintenance on lighting fixtures, ballasts, circuit breakers, etc., first remove the wires, remove the joint box 40, and finally remove the ballast 44. It was necessary and maintenance work was very troublesome.

  In addition, the conventional outdoor lighting equipment is a collection of various equipment, and the specifications of ballasts and circuit breakers differ according to the specifications of the lighting fixtures. Therefore, a dedicated wiring circuit has not been incorporated in advance.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and the problem is that an LED power supply device is incorporated in advance in a joint box using an LED lighting device instead of a conventional lighting device, and thus the conventional troublesomeness. It is to provide a power storage box for an outdoor LED lighting apparatus that can suppress troubles such as troublesome installation and wiring (wiring) during construction, removal during maintenance, and rewiring.

  In order to solve the above problems, a power storage box according to the present invention stores an LED power supply device for an LED lighting device installed outdoors, and the LED power supply device and the LED lighting device are wired. It has a wiring part.

  With this configuration, LED lighting fixtures are used instead of conventional lighting fixtures, and the LED power supply device is pre-installed in the power supply storage box, which is a joint box function. Wiring), removal during maintenance, and rewiring can be greatly reduced.

  Moreover, in this invention, it is preferable that the said power storage box further accommodates the wiring breaker interposed between a primary side power cable and the said LED power supply device. The power storage box preferably stores a plurality of LED power supply devices. Thereby, since a plurality of LED power supply devices can be stored in a single power supply storage box, connection work can be easily performed. Moreover, the wiring part in a power supply storage box should just be for connecting with the input terminal and output terminal of the power supply device for LED, and is not restrict | limited in particular. It is preferable that the wiring portion has a terminal block for electrical connection with the primary side power cable and for electrical connection with the LED lighting apparatus so that the wiring work can be performed more easily. The terminal block has a plurality of terminals for electrical wiring.

  Moreover, in this invention, it is preferable that the said LED lighting fixture is attached to a hollow pole, and the said power storage box is detachably installed in the inside of the said pole in the position away from the said LED lighting fixture.

  Moreover, the power storage box of the present invention is suitably used for an outdoor LED lighting device. This outdoor LED lighting device has an LED lighting fixture installed outdoors, an LED power supply device for the LED lighting fixture, and a power storage box for storing the LED power supply device. The primary side power cable and the LED power supply device are wired, and the LED power supply device and the LED lighting apparatus are wired.
