  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the lighting device 3 includes a substantially short cylindrical case, a circuit board 31 mounted and accommodated in the case, and circuit components mounted on the circuit board. ing. The lighting device 3 is disposed and attached to a concave portion 11 formed in the central portion of the main body 1, and the adapter A side is electrically connected and connected to a commercial AC power source via the adapter A. Therefore, the lighting device 3 receives this AC power supply, generates a DC output, supplies the DC output to the light emitting element 22 via the lead wire, and controls the lighting of the light emitting element 22.

  The attachment portion 4 is an adapter guide formed in a substantially cylindrical shape, and an engagement port through which the adapter A is inserted and engaged is provided at the center portion of the adapter guide. The adapter guide is disposed such that the outer peripheral surface thereof is located on the inner peripheral side of the case of the lighting device 3, in other words, the lighting device 3 is disposed on the outer peripheral side of the adapter guide. It has become. The adapter guide extends through the opening 12 of the main body 1 to the front side.

  Note that the attachment portion 4 is not necessarily a member referred to as an adapter guide or the like. For example, it may be an opening formed in the main body 1 or the reflection plate 6, and in short, means a member or a portion that is opposed to the hooking sealing body Cb as a wiring device and to which the adapter A is engaged. .

  The cover member 5 is made of a translucent material such as an acrylic resin and has a milky white diffusibility.

For example, a light emitting element is mounted on a substrate, arranged in a plurality of rows on a polygonal circumference that has substantially the same center of different size, and the same number of rows is mounted so that the rows are shifted in the circumferential direction between adjacent rows. You may make it do. Specifically, if the light emitting elements are mounted on the hexagonal polygonal circumference, the light emitting elements are arranged on the inner hexagonal circumference and the outer hexagonal circumference, and are arranged on the inner side. This is a case in which the light emitting elements arranged on the outside and the light emitting elements arranged on the outside are arranged shifted in the circumferential direction.

The substrate is preferably formed in a circular circle shape or a hexagonal or octagonal polygonal shape, but is not limited to this shape. In short, the shape of the substrate is not particularly limited as long as the light emitting elements can be arranged on a circumference or a polygonal circumference. Further, the substrate may be divided into a plurality of parts, which may be combined to form a whole.
Further, in order to improve the uniformity of light emitted from the light source unit, a diffusion lens may be provided corresponding to the light emitting element, or a light transmittance control means may be provided on the cover member.
Furthermore, solid-state light emitting elements such as LEDs and organic EL can be applied as the light emitting elements. In this case, the number of light emitting elements and the number of columns are not particularly limited.
