1-3 show an example of embodiment in the lighting fixture 1 of this invention.
Referring to FIG. 1, the luminaire 1 includes a mounting portion 3 for fixing to a ceiling or the like, and a light transmissive cover 4. The attachment portion 3 can be made of metal, for example, and can be directly fixed to the ceiling or the like by a fastening member such as a screw (not shown). The attachment portion 3 includes an upper end portion 31 located on the ceiling side, a lower end portion 32 on the opposite side, and a convex portion 33 located on the lower end portion 32. In this embodiment, the attachment part 3 is a substantially quadrangular prism, and the convex part 33 is provided at each corner.

  As the cover 4, for example, transparent tempered glass can be used. A light source (not shown) is attached inside the cover 4. The cover 4 includes a facing surface 41 that faces the mounting portion 3, and a side surface 42 that is positioned between the mounting portion 3 and the facing surface 41 and rises along the periphery of the facing surface 41. In this embodiment, the facing surface 41 is a quadrangle, and the side surface 42 is composed of four quadrangles that face each other. The attachment portion 3 and the side surface 42 are fixed to each other by a fastening member 43.

  As shown in FIG. 2, while using a screw as the fastening member 43, the attachment portion 3 and the side surface 42 are provided with through-holes 3a and 42a that pass through each other, and by inserting the fastening member 43 into these, The side surface 42 can be fixed to the attachment portion 3. Further, the attachment portion 3 is provided with a flange portion 34 located substantially in the center of the side surface 42 and located inside thereof, and a through hole 3 a is formed in the flange portion 34. Therefore, the side surface 42 is located outside the collar portion 34.

  A colored and light transmissive colored member 5 is attached to the side surface 42 of the cover 4. As the colored member 5, for example, an acrylic plate colored in green, blue, orange or the like can be used. As the colored member 5, it is desirable to use a nonflammable or flame retardant material. In this embodiment, the colored member 5 is a plate-like member having substantially the same shape and size as one of the side surfaces 42.

  The colored member 5 is disposed outside the side surface 42. More specifically, there is a gap between the side surface 42 of the cover 4 and the lower end portion 32 of the attachment portion 3, and the colored member 5 can be inserted and held in the gap. The colored member 5 is provided with a through-hole 5a penetrating in the thickness direction, and a fastening member 43 is inserted into the through-hole 5a and fixed to the attachment portion 3 via the flange portion 34 together with the side surface 42.

  Referring to FIG. 3, the colored member 5 is a rectangle including an upper end edge 51, a lower end edge 52, and both side edges 53. The through hole 5 a is located near the center of the side edges 53 and closer to the upper edge 51. The through-hole 5a has an oval shape whose dimension in the vertical direction of the drawing is larger than that in the horizontal direction. Thus, by making the through-hole 5 a into an oval shape, the lower end edge 52 can be adjusted to coincide with the end portion of the side surface 42.

  The lighting fixture 1 as described above can illuminate the inside of the canopy by making the cover 4 transparent, without greatly reducing the illuminance from the light source. Moreover, since the cover 4 is provided with the opposing surface 41 and the side surface 42, it can illuminate not only the lower side of the lighting fixture 1, but the side. By attaching the colored member 5 to the side surface 42, the light from the side surface 42 can be colored. When the colored member 5 is attached to the cover 4, the brightness is lower than when the colored member 5 is not attached. However, by not attaching the colored member 5 to the facing surface 41, the brightness below the lighting fixture 1 is increased. It can be secured sufficiently. The colored member 5 may be attached to the facing surface 41 depending on the place of use.

  In a gas station, lighting such as orange or green may be turned on to indicate that the station is open. According to this embodiment, by attaching the colored member 5 to the side surface 42, the lighting device 1 can be easily seen from the driver of the car traveling on the road, and it is easily determined whether or not it is in business. be able to.

  FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the colored member 5 in the luminaire 1 of the present invention. In this embodiment, the colored member 5 has a recess 54 formed at an angle formed by the upper edge 51 and the side edge 53. The shape of the concave portion 54 corresponds to the convex portion 33 of the attachment portion 3. When the colored member 5 is attached to the side surface 42 of the cover 4, the colored member 5 avoids the attachment portion 3 and overlaps the side surface 42. It is a thing. Providing the concave portion 54 in this manner is effective when the gap between the side surface 42 and the lower end portion 32 of the attachment portion 3 is small. That is, even when the colored member 5 cannot be inserted into these gaps, the colored member 5 and the side surface 42 can be attached in contact with each other. In this embodiment, it is preferable that the dimension between the upper end edge 51 and the lower end edge 52 of the colored member 5 is substantially equal to the dimension between the lower end part 32 of the attachment part 3 and the opposed surface 41 of the cover 4. By setting it as such a dimension, the colored member 5 is settled without protruding from the opposing surface 41 of the cover 4, and it can also be made favorable in appearance.

  The colored member 5 in this device does not need to be attached to all the side surfaces 42, and may be attached only to the side surface 42 located on the road side, for example. Moreover, since the colored member 5 can be attached to the attachment part 3 and the cover 4 by the fastening member 43, the operation | work is easy. In this embodiment, the colored member 5 is attached to the outside of the cover 4, but can also be attached to the inside.

  According to the lighting fixture 1 as described above, even when a colorless light source is used, it is possible to obtain colored light only by attaching the colored member 5. A colored light source is more expensive than a colorless light source, and the brightness is lowered by making it colored. Although it is conceivable that the cover 4 is colored, in that case, the strength of the tempered glass may be lowered. By using the colored member 5, a colored light can be obtained at low cost. Moreover, a decrease in brightness can be prevented by not attaching the colored member 5 to either the opposing surface 41 or the side surface 42. Further, the strength of the cover 4 is not reduced.
