  As described above, the LED lighting device according to the present embodiment is an LED lighting device that is attached to the display shelf SB. The LED lighting device is housed in the housing 1 having a long housing space, the housing 1, and the LED element. 20 is disposed, the power supply circuit unit 3 that is housed in the housing 1 and supplies power to the LED substrate 2, and extends in the longitudinal direction Y from the longitudinal end of the housing 1 in the longitudinal direction. And a power supply line 4 for supplying the power to the power supply circuit unit 3. The housing 1 includes a power supply chamber SP11 that houses the power supply circuit unit 3, and a board attachment part 10a to which the LED board 2 is attached. The power supply chamber SP11 and the substrate mounting portion 10a are arranged so as not to overlap in the width direction X which is the short side direction and to overlap in the height direction Z. On the back side of the board mounting portion 10a, a long wire arrangement space SP10 in which the power supply line 4 is wired is formed.

  As described above, the power supply chamber SP11 that houses the power supply circuit unit 3 and the board mounting part 10a to which the LED board 2 is mounted do not overlap in the width direction X that is the short side direction and overlap in the height direction Z. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the size while suppressing the dimension in the height direction Z. Nevertheless, since the long wire arrangement space SP10 in which the power supply line 4 extending from the longitudinal end of the housing 1 to the power supply circuit unit 3 is wired is formed on the back side of the board mounting portion 10a, the power supply line By arranging 4 in the same power supply chamber SP11 as the power supply circuit section 3, the height of the required power supply line 4 can be made unnecessary, and the dimension in the height direction Z can be further reduced.

  In the present embodiment, the LED substrate 2 is arranged in an inclined posture in which the distal end 2b farther from the power supply circuit unit 3 is directed upward than the proximal end 2a close to the power supply circuit unit 3.

  According to this configuration, since the LED substrate 2 is arranged in an inclined posture, the dimension in the width direction X of the housing 1 can be made smaller than in the case where the LED substrate 2 is arranged in a horizontal posture. It can be downsized.

  In some cases, the LED lighting device itself is attached to the display shelf SB in an inclined posture. In that case, the rear side surface of the housing may interfere with the display shelf SB, and the attachment position must be lowered. Therefore, there is a risk that the LED lighting device will be conspicuous.

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the rear side surface 12 disposed outside the width direction X of the LED substrate 2 in the housing 1 has the upper end 12b inclined more inward in the width direction X than the lower end 12a.

  According to this configuration, since the back side surface 12 of the housing 1 is inclined, it can be attached while avoiding interference with the display shelf SB. As a result, it becomes possible to attach the LED lighting device so as not to stand out.

  In this embodiment, the board | substrate electric wire 5 from the power supply circuit part 3 to the LED board 2 is provided. The board | substrate electric wire 5 is arrange | positioned with the power supply line 4 in electric wire arrangement | positioning space SP10.

The tip of the upright piece approaches the other side to form a tapered opening.

  According to this configuration, since the electric wire arrangement space SP10 has a tapered opening, wiring can be performed simply by inserting the substrate electric wire 5 and the power supply line 4 from the tapered opening, and it is difficult for each electric wire to come out and wiring is easy. Become.

  There is a possibility that the substrate wire 5 may be shaken by the transportation of the LED lighting device or the like. If the board | substrate electric wire 5 is shaken, a stress will act easily on the connection part of the board | substrate electric wire 5 and the LED board 2, and there exists a possibility of a disconnection.

  On the other hand, in this embodiment, the board | substrate electric wire 5 from the power supply circuit part 3 to the LED board 2 is provided.

And an upper lid cover 13 that is detachable at a position that closes the work opening 1h. The wire holding member 7 is disposed at a position where the substrate wire 5 is shielded from the work opening 1h in the wire arrangement space SP10.

  Thus, since the electric wire holding member 7 is arrange | positioned in the position which shields the board | substrate electric wire 5 from the work opening 1h, an operator does not accidentally touch the board | substrate electric wire 5, and is preferable.

  In the present embodiment, the housing 1 includes a long housing body 1X having a work opening 1h that opens upward in the housing space (first housing space SP1) at the end in the longitudinal direction, and the work opening 1h. And an upper lid cover 13 that is detachable at the closing position. The power supply line 4 is connected to the electrical connector C accommodated in the accommodation space (first accommodation space SP1), extends inward in the longitudinal direction from the electrical connector C, and is disposed at a position accessible from the work opening 1h. 1 part 4a and 2nd part 4b arrange | positioned in electric wire arrangement | positioning space SP10. The 2nd part 4b is comprised with an electric wire thinner than the 1st part 4a.

  In this way, the power line of the first portion 4a that extends inward in the longitudinal direction from the electrical connector C and is disposed at a position accessible from the work opening 1h is thickened, and the electric wire necessary for the worker to access is thickened. Can be secured. Nevertheless, the power line of the second portion 4b in the electric wire arrangement space SP10 that is not accessed by the operator can be thinned to facilitate wiring.

  In the present embodiment, a power line fixing member 14 is provided that is fixed to the housing body 1X with the first portion 4a interposed therebetween. The power supply line 4 includes a third portion 4c between the first portion 4a and the second portion 4b. The 3rd part 4c is comprised with an electric wire thinner than the 1st part 4a.

  According to this configuration, when the first portion 4a is sandwiched between the power line fixing members 14 and fixed to the housing main body 1X, the first portion 4a is removed when the first portion 4a is pulled out and connected to the electrical connector C. Since the third portion 4c is narrower than that, the electric wire is easily bent, the electric wire is easily returned, and the assembling work can be facilitated.

  The conventional general LED shelf lamp has a ratio of height to width of 1: 1, and when such a product is attached to the front edge of the display shelf SB, its presence becomes conspicuous. On the other hand, in the embodiment, the power supply chamber SP11 and the board mounting portion 10a are arranged so as not to overlap in the width direction X which is the short direction, so that the height H of the housing 1 is the width direction. It is suppressed to 1 / 2.5 or less with respect to the length W, becomes inconspicuous, and a product having high added value can be provided.
