Therefore, the vehicle interior can be illuminated with sufficient illuminance. When the second fluorescent lamp 5 is turned on by the changeover switch 14, the light passes through the colored plate 8, is reflected by the reflector 3, and passes through the small gap 9 between the ceiling plate 1 and the reflector 10. At the same time as illuminating the interior of the vehicle interior as indirect light in the lateral direction, the cut surface of the lens 7 is illuminated and guided into the interior of the interior of the vehicle as the indirect light from the light emitting hole 11 of the reflector 10, so that the atmosphere in the interior of the interior of the vehicle is easily improved. be able to.

Further, the colored plate 8 is replaced with another one of a different color as appropriate, or the light intensity of each of the lamps 4 and 5 is adjusted steplessly by the dimmer switch 13 to easily change the atmosphere in the vehicle cabin. In addition, since both the direct and indirect light lamps 4 and 5 are integrated into one unit, the interior light of the vehicle can be made very compact, This is particularly effective for vehicles that have many restrictions on mounting.

Next, in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, three holes 2 are formed in the bottom plate 20 attached to the ceiling plate 1 of the vehicle.
1, 22 and 23 are formed, and a reflector 3 having an arc-shaped cross section is fixed on the upper surface of the bottom plate 20, and a first fluorescent lamp 4 and a second fluorescent lamp are provided inside the arc-shaped reflector 3. 5 are arranged vertically separated by a shielding plate 6, and an acrylic resin lens 24 is installed in a hole 21 located below the first fluorescent lamp 4, while holes 22 and 23 are provided.
Are provided with milky white lenses 25 made of acrylic resin, respectively, and the second fluorescent lamp 5
The coloring plate 8 is detachably installed so as to surround the vehicle door.
3 and the changeover switches 14 for the lamps 4 and 5 are the bottom plate 2
It is attached to 0.

In this vehicle interior light, when the first fluorescent lamp 4 is turned on by the changeover switch 14, the light passes through the lens 24 and irradiates the vehicle interior as direct light. Can be lit and also
When the second fluorescent lamp 5 is turned on by the changeover switch 14, the light passes through the colored plate 8 and is reflected by the reflector 3, the illuminance is suppressed through the milky white lens 25, and the interior of the vehicle is illuminated as indirect light. In the same manner as in the above embodiment, the direct light having sufficient illuminance and the atmosphere in the vehicle cabin can be appropriately adjusted by replacing the coloring plate 8 or steplessly adjusting the luminous intensity of each of the lamps 4 and 5 by the dimmer switch 13. And the indirect light that swells to the vehicle interior as needed.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, a hole 31 is formed in a bottom plate 30 attached to a ceiling plate 1 of a vehicle, and a reflecting plate 3 having an arc-shaped cross section is fixed to an upper surface of the bottom plate 30. Inside the arc-shaped reflector 3, a first fluorescent lamp 4
And the second fluorescent lamps 5, 5 are arranged laterally separated from each other, and a shielding plate 32 is installed between the first fluorescent lamp 4 and the second fluorescent lamps 5, 5. A coloring plate 33 is detachably provided between the reflection plate 3 and the shielding plate 32, and a lens 34 made of an acrylic resin is provided in the hole 31 located below the first fluorescent lamp 4. On the other hand, a vehicle door interlocking switch, a dimming switch, and a switch for switching both lamps 4 and 5 (not shown) are attached to the bottom plate 30 as in the above-described embodiments.

In this vehicle interior light, when the first fluorescent lamp 4 is turned on by the changeover switch, the light passes through the lens 34 and irradiates the vehicle interior as direct light.
