The corridor lamp 1 configured as described above can be installed on the wall surface in either a conventional form in which the whole is exposed or a form in which the corridor lamp body 2 is embedded in the wall surface. The form which installs in the state which exposed the whole first is demonstrated easily.
When exposing the whole, the protrusion 13 formed on the back portion of the corridor lamp main body 2 is housed and installed in an installation hole opened in a wall surface (not shown). Specifically, the protruding portion 13 is housed in a buried box (not shown) arranged in the wall surface, and the case lower portion 20a is screwed or fixed with a wall hanging bracket or the like. Moreover, wiring connection is made using the buried box.

  The installation for storing the corridor lamp main body 2 on the wall surface is performed as follows. In this case, the front panel 3 is removed from the corridor lamp body 2, and the call indicator lamp cover 11a is also removed. FIG. 6 shows a front view of the corridor lamp body 2 from which the front panel 3 and the call indicator lamp cover 11a are thus removed. In FIG. 6, reference numeral 11b denotes a call indicator lamp from which the light source is removed.
