DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a lighting device in a bathroom.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, lighting in a bathroom is usually such that a lighting fixture is mounted on a wall of a bathroom or a lighting fixture is mounted on a ceiling. In addition, even when the lighting fixture is mounted on the ceiling, it is only flush with the ceiling or protruded downward from the ceiling.

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] Regardless of whether a lighting device is mounted on a wall or a ceiling as described above, the lighting device is merely intended to illuminate the bathroom with a certain brightness. Was. However, in recent years, there has been an increasing demand for more comfortable bathing in the bathroom, and in lighting, not only illuminating the bathroom with a certain brightness, but also the body and mind are more relaxed and the bathing is more comfortable. There is a demand to make it possible, but this is not enough in conventional lighting.
On the other hand, the present inventor thought that if a skylight is provided in the bathroom in the process leading to the present invention and the light from the skylight illuminates the bathroom, the mood of the bather becomes open and the bather can relax and take a bath. In the situation where bathrooms that have been unitized in recent years have become mainstream, it is very difficult to actually install a skylight in the bathroom, and it is not possible to install a skylight in apartments, etc., for these reasons Providing skylights is not practical.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points,
Its purpose is to give the feeling that the underside of the lighting equipment provided on the ceiling of the bathroom is as if it were a skylight and that the lighting from the lighting equipment is also being taken from the skylight. An object of the present invention is to provide a lighting device in a bathroom which can provide a bathing atmosphere in a comfortable environment.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, a lighting device for a bathroom according to the present invention is provided on a ceiling 2 directly above a bathtub 1 of a bathroom A, substantially coaxially with the bathtub 1 and higher than the bathtub 1. Lighting equipment 3 of slightly smaller size
, The lower surface of the lighting fixture 3 is positioned above the lower surface of the ceiling 2, and the auxiliary lighting fixture 10 is attached to a portion of the ceiling 2 corresponding to the washing place.

[Operation] However, by positioning the lower surface of the lighting fixture 3 disposed on the ceiling portion 2 of the bathroom A above the lower surface of the ceiling portion 2,
The lower surface of the lighting device 3 can be made to look like a lighting part of a skylight, and the light from the lighting device 3 does not directly illuminate the lower surface of the ceiling 2 so that it is dark. The light can be made to feel like lighting from a skylight, and the size of the ceiling 2 just above the bathtub 1 of the bathroom A is substantially concentric with the bathtub 1 and slightly smaller than the bathtub 1. Is provided, and an auxiliary lighting device 10 is attached to a portion of the ceiling portion 2 corresponding to the washing place, so that the lighting device 3 similar to a skylight located directly above the bathtub 1 is provided.
By illuminating almost the entire inside of the bathtub 1 by intensively, it is possible to bring out the feeling that the inside of the bathtub 1 is concentrated and illuminated from the skylight, and the washing place is effectively illuminated by auxiliary lighting equipment, The illuminance in the washing area can be prevented from lowering.

EXAMPLES The present invention will be described in detail below based on examples shown in the accompanying drawings.

The accompanying drawings show an example of a unit as a bathroom, that is, an example of a bathroom unit device. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a unit bathroom, FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view, and FIG. Shows a cross-sectional view. In the bathroom unit apparatus, the bathtub 1 is installed on a floor pan 4 (in the embodiment, the floor pan is divided into a floor pan on the washing room side and a floor pan on the bathtub installation side). The bathtub 1 has a substantially circular shape (a portion along the wall portion 5 and a corner portion formed by the wall portions 5 are straight lines with some circular cutouts) in the embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings.
A wall mounting piece 6 is provided at the upper end of the rising portion on the outer periphery of the floor panel 4, and a wall panel serving as the wall 5 is mounted on the wall mounting piece 6. Has a ceiling panel serving as a ceiling portion 2 mounted thereon. The bathroom unit having such a configuration is installed in a building body as shown in FIGS. A lighting device 3 is provided on the ceiling 2. To make this lighting fixture 3 look similar to a skylight,
The size thereof corresponds to the size of a skylight, and an auxiliary lighting device called a so-called downlight is distinguished from the lighting device 3 of the present invention. The lower surface of the lighting fixture 3 is covered with a light-transmitting cover to give a feeling similar to that of the lighting part of the skylight, so that the lamps and the like inside are not visible. In the embodiment shown in the attached drawings, the lighting equipment 3 has a lighting equipment 3 which is substantially concentric with the bathtub 1 and slightly smaller than the bathtub 1. In the embodiment, the lighting fixture 3 has a circular shape corresponding to the shape of the bathtub 1. Then, the light from the lighting equipment 3 illuminates almost the entire inside of the bathtub 1 located just below, so that a skylight is formed above the bathtub 1 and the light is concentrated in the bathtub 1 from the skylight. Then, the surface of the hot water can be made to shine brightly. Here, the lower surface of the lighting fixture 3 is located above the lower surface of the ceiling 2. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, a ceiling panel constituting the ceiling portion 2
A recess 7 is formed by recessing a part of 2a upward, and the upper portion 8 of the recess 7 is opened leaving an outer peripheral portion. The lighting device 3 is fitted into the opening 9 and attached. Various mounting means can be adopted for mounting the lighting fixture 3. In this manner, the lighting fixture 3 is fitted into the opening 9 of the upper bottom part 8 of the concave part 7 and attached, so that a step indicated by H in FIG. 5 is formed between the lower surface of the lighting fixture 3 and the lower surface of the ceiling part 2. Is to do so. By the way, when the lower surface of the lighting device 3 is positioned above the lower surface of the ceiling portion 2 as described above, the light from the lighting device 3 does not directly hit the lower surface of the ceiling portion 2. It becomes dark, and it can be in a state as if the light is just entering downward from the skylight. Also, because of the step, the feeling that the skylight is formed above the ceiling 2 is felt. The lighting fixture 3 having a size slightly smaller than the bathtub 1 arranged substantially concentrically with the bathtub 1 on the ceiling 2 above the bathtub 1 can be made to look more like a skylight. You can do it. An auxiliary lighting device 10 such as a spot lighting device is attached to a portion of the ceiling 2 corresponding to the washing place side, so that the washing place side can be illuminated. Also, as shown in FIG. 6, a part of the ceiling panel 2a is recessed upward in the ceiling part 2 so that the inspection lid mounting recess 11 is formed.
The inspection lid mounting recess 11 has an upper bottom 12
The inspection opening 13 is formed leaving the outer peripheral portion of the inspection lid 15. The inspection lid 15 is arranged in the recess 11 and the screw 16 inserted into the inspection lid 15 is formed.
Is screwed into a nut 14 provided on the upper bottom 12 to make the inspection lid 15
Is detachably attached to the ceiling 2.
Here, by attaching the inspection lid 15 to the recess 11, the lower surface of the inspection lid 15 can be flush with the lower surface of the ceiling 2.

In the above embodiment, the embodiment in which the lighting fixture 3 is circular has been described. However, the shape of the lighting fixture 3 is not limited to the above embodiment, and the lighting fixture 3 is directly above the bathtub 1 in the above embodiment. Although the embodiment in which the lighting fixture 3 is arranged is shown in FIG. 1, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and the lighting fixture 3 may be arranged in another portion of the ceiling 2.

[Effects of the Invention] In the present invention, as described above, the lighting fixture is disposed on the ceiling of the bathroom, and the lower surface of the lighting fixture is located above the lower surface of the ceiling. The lower surface of the lighting equipment located above the lower surface of the ceiling has the appearance of a skylight part of a skylight, and the light from the lighting equipment does not directly illuminate the lower surface of the ceiling. The light from the appliances can be made to feel like lighting from the skylight, and as a result, it is possible to take a bath with the skylight being formed in the bathroom and lighting from the skylight, and a comfortable environment with a sense of freedom In the ceiling just above the bathtub in the bathroom, a lighting fixture approximately concentric with the bathtub and a little smaller than the bathtub is installed, and the ceiling can be washed in the bathroom. Auxiliary lighting equipment on corresponding parts Is installed, so that almost the entire inside of the bathtub is illuminated intensively by a lighting device similar to a skylight located directly above the bathtub, and it feels like the skylight is intensively illuminating the inside of the bathtub from the skylight. In addition to being able to appear, the washing place can be effectively illuminated by auxiliary lighting equipment so that the illuminance in the washing place does not decrease.
