  As shown in FIG. 1, the illuminating device 5 is provided at two locations between the first mirror 41 and the second mirror 42 and between the second mirror 42 and the third mirror 43. In other words, the illumination device 5 is provided between the mirror bodies 4. The illumination device 5 emits light toward the front of the mirror body 4 and emits light below the mirror body 4. The illumination device 5 includes a light guide member 51, a first light source 52, and a second light source 53.

  The light guide member 51 emits light linearly by the light from the first light source 52. The light guide member 51 has a length in the up-down direction, a width in the left-right direction, and a thickness in the front-rear direction, and is formed in a rod shape. The light guide member 51 is formed to have a length that extends over substantially the entire length of the mirror body 4 in the vertical direction. The lower end portion of the light guide member 51 is located immediately above the storage portion 21. The light guide member 51 is disposed between the first mirror 41 and the second mirror 42 and between the second mirror 42 and the third mirror 43. As illustrated in FIG. 3, the light guide member 51 includes an incident surface 511, a light diffusing portion 513, and an exit surface 512.

  The incident surface 511 is provided on the end surface of the light guide member 51 in the longitudinal direction. The incident surface 511 is provided on the lower end surface of the light guide member 51. The incident surface 511 is a surface through which light emitted from the first light source 52 enters the light guide member 51.

  The light diffusing unit 513 is provided on the back side (rear side) of the light guide member 51. The light diffusing unit 513 diffuses the light incident from the incident surface 511 into the light guide member 51 in the light guide member 51. For example, the light diffusion portion 513 of the present embodiment is formed in a triangular shape in front view. The light diffusing portion 513 is formed so as to become wider toward the side away from the incident surface 511 in the longitudinal direction of the light guide member 51. The light diffusion portion 513 is formed by, for example, embossing or dot printing.

  In addition, although it is preferable that the area is large, so that the light-diffusion part 513 leaves | separates from the entrance plane 511, it is not limited to triangle shape. For example, the light diffusing portion 513 may be formed to have a larger area as a partially provided light guide pattern such as a circular shape or a rectangular shape moves away from the incident surface 511.

  The emission surface 512 is provided on the front side (front side) of the light guide member 51. In other words, the emission surface 512 is provided on the surface opposite to the light diffusion portion 513. The emission surface 512 is a surface for the light diffused by the light diffusion unit 513 to be emitted from the light guide member 51. For example, the emission surface 512 faces the front diagonal center side and is directed to shine light on a user standing in front of the center mirror. The exit surface 512 may face a direction perpendicular to the mirror surface, or the angle with respect to the mirror surface may be adjustable by changing the angle of the light guide member 51 with respect to the mirror surface.

  The first light source 52 is disposed at the lower end of the light guide member 51 in the longitudinal direction. The first light source 52 has directivity. The front end side in the light emission direction of the first light source 52 faces the incident surface 511. Thereby, the light emitted from the first light source 52 enters the light guide member 51 from the incident surface 511. The first light source 52 is configured by, for example, an LED (Light Emitting Diode). The first light source 52 is attached to the substrate 54.

  When light is emitted from the first light source 52, the light enters the light guide member 51 via the incident surface 511. The light incident from the incident surface 511 repeats total reflection on the inner surface of the light guide member 51 and travels toward the end surface opposite to the incident surface 511 in the longitudinal direction of the light guide member 51. Most of the traveling light is reflected by the light diffusion portion 513 and diffused. The light diffused by the light diffusing unit 513 is reflected toward the emission surface 512. Thereafter, the light is emitted from the light guide member 51 through the emission surface 512.

  The second light source 53 is provided at the lower end of the light guide member 51. The second light source 53 emits light downward. The second light source 53 is configured by, for example, an LED. The second light source 53 is attached to the back side of the substrate 54 to which the first light source 52 is attached. In other words, the second light source 53 and the first light source 52 are attached to a common substrate 54. The substrate 54 is fixed to the light guide member 51 by a holder.

  Note that the first light source 52 and the second light source 53 may be attached to different substrates 54. Further, the first light source 52 and the second light source 53 may be controlled to be turned on and off by one switch, or controlled to be turned on and off by separate switches. There may be.

  The light emitted from the second light source 53 passes through the front of the opening / closing door 24 and is applied to the washstand 6 when the opening / closing door 24 of the storage unit 21 is in a substantially vertical state. In other words, the second light source 53 illuminates the lower side than the storage portion 21 when the open / close door 24 is in a substantially vertical state. Further, the light emitted from the second light source 53 is applied to the upper surface of the door 24 as shown in FIG. 2 when the door 24 of the storage unit 21 is in a substantially horizontal state. That is, the second light source 53 is provided so as to shine light on the storage portion 21 when the open / close door 24 of the storage portion 21 is in a substantially horizontal state.

  The wash basin 6 is disposed below the mirror cabinet 1. The wash basin 6 is made of, for example, a white synthetic resin. The wash basin 6 includes a counter unit 62 and a bowl unit 61. The bowl portion 61 receives hot water discharged from the faucet 63. As shown in FIG. 4, the faucet 63 is provided at the upper edge of the bowl portion 61. The bowl portion 61 is formed in a bowl shape. The side surface of the bowl part 61 in the left-right direction is inclined so as to be directed toward the center in plan view as it goes toward the bottom surface. The side surface of the bowl portion 61 and the second light source 53 are arranged so as to be lined up and down. In other words, the second light source 53 is disposed above the side surface of the bowl portion 61. The counter unit 62 is provided on both the left and right sides of the bowl unit 61. The counter part 62 and the bowl part 61 are integrally formed. In the vanity of this embodiment, the second light source 53 shines light on the bowl portion 61 and the counter portion 62 with the side surface of the bowl portion 61 as the center.

  The lower cabinet 7 is disposed below the wash basin 6. The lower cabinet 7 supports the washstand 6. The lower cabinet 7 has a plurality of drawers 71.

  When the second light source 53 emits light, the light is applied to the washstand 6. Since the washstand 6 is white, it can reflect a large amount of light. Thereby, the lower part of the mirror cabinet 1 can be further brightened. Further, the second light source 53 also applies a lot of light to the inclined side surface of the bowl portion 61. For this reason, when the user works on the bowl portion 61, light can be applied from below the left and right sides of the user.

  As described above, the mirror cabinet 1 of the present embodiment includes a plurality of mirror bodies 4. The mirror cabinet 1 includes a lighting device 5.
