In addition, the food itself is packaged to look fresher and more beautiful with excellent color rendering as seen in modern kitchen or dining room lighting. On the other hand, in the conventional refrigerator, an incandescent light bulb for illuminating the hand of a sewing machine or the like is used to illuminate the refrigerator compartment. However, it was common that some of the compartments such as the vegetable compartment were not provided with lighting.

[0004]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional refrigerator, there is a problem that it is difficult to confirm the interior of the refrigerator because a dedicated lighting is not installed in a vegetable room or the like. In particular, if the room is a vegetable room, a separate container separate from the vegetable room is required for freshness, and to illuminate the interior of this container, vegetables like a conventional refrigerator It is extremely inefficient to install lighting on the back of the room, and it is difficult to use the internal volume effectively due to space issues when installing it on the ceiling of the vegetable room. At the front of the refrigerator, the room is divided into two rooms. If an illumination light is attached to a part of the compartment, the door impact vibration generated when storing the vegetable container is transmitted directly to the illumination light through the compartment. There were problems such as a shortened life.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and efficiently illuminates a partitioned room such as a vegetable room and protects a lighting lamp from a door impact generated when a vegetable container is stored. It is an object of the present invention to provide a refrigerator that can illuminate a vegetable room forever, keep the room clean, and provide a more beautiful view of foods as they are.
