Description

  The present invention is provided on the upper surface of the water tank so as to be able to illuminate the inside of the water tank from the outside of the vertical surface of the water tank by providing a projecting part that projects the edge of the upper surface of the water tank and providing a light source in the projecting part. It relates to lighting equipment.

  Conventionally, there has been no lighting fixture installed on the upper surface of the water tank that can illuminate the inside of the water tank from the outside of the vertical surface of the water tank.

  Lighting fixtures are indispensable in order to make the ornamental aquarium look beautiful, but among the various aquarium lighting fixtures, there is no restriction on the installation and the cheapest and easiest to use is the lighting fixture installed on the top of the aquarium is there. However, the light that illuminates the inside of the aquarium from the lighting equipment installed on the top surface of the aquarium inevitably becomes a light beam from top to bottom, and to the vertical plane, which is the main viewing surface when people view the objects in the aquarium. There was a disadvantage that the amount of light was insufficient and it did not look beautiful. Underwater lighting has existed as a countermeasure, but it is not popular because it is expensive, cumbersome and has a short product life. A method of installing a plurality of other types of lighting fixtures such as a stand-type lighting around the water tank also has a problem that costs increase, devices interfere with each other, and are bulky. The present invention has been made to solve these problems.

  In the luminaire installed on the upper surface of the aquarium, a luminaire main body that irradiates light from the upper surface of the aquarium to the inside of the aquarium, and a projecting portion that projects the edge of the upper surface of the aquarium are provided. An illumination light source attached at an angle capable of irradiating light from the outside of the direction surface toward the inside of the water tank is provided.

  The luminaire body and the overhanging part that projects the edge of the upper surface of the water tank are connected by deformable connecting members that give freedom of relative displacement to both ends. An illumination light source attached at an angle at which light can be emitted from at least one vertical surface outer side toward the water tank inner side is provided.

  The connection member that connects the luminaire main body and the overhanging portion may be a link mechanism.

  The connecting member that connects the luminaire main body and the overhanging portion may be a strap-like soft member.

  Further, an irradiation angle adjusting means may be provided in the illumination light source of the projecting portion.

  The light emission color of the illumination fixture body and the light emission color of the overhanging portion may be different from each other.

  In the luminaire installed on the upper surface of the aquarium, a luminaire main body that irradiates light from the upper surface of the aquarium to the inside of the aquarium, and a projecting portion that projects the edge of the upper surface of the aquarium are provided. A reflector attached at an angle capable of reflecting the light of the luminaire main body is provided from the outer side of the direction surface toward the inner side of the water tank.

  The present invention is a water tank illuminator that can be manufactured at the lowest cost in a form that is installed on the upper surface of the aquarium and has a high installation versatility without taking up space, but has a light source or a reflector on the portion that projects the edge of the upper surface of the aquarium Therefore, not only can the water tank be illuminated with light from top to bottom, but also light from the front and side can be added. That means that the present invention can provide the same effect as a combination of a plurality of other types of lighting fixtures such as a stand-type lighting, a hook-fixed lighting and an underwater lighting, in addition to conventional aquarium top-mounted lighting. In particular, the light rays that illuminate the inside of the water tank from the outside of the front glass of the aquarium increase the amount of light on the face to be viewed when a person watches, so that the effect of making the inside of the water tank look beautiful is high. Furthermore, light that is incident obliquely downward from the upper part of the front glass or the side glass is oblique light in illumination technology, and the oblique light has an effect of making the object appear three-dimensionally, which is not in the forward light or the backlight. By connecting the main body and the overhanging part with a deformable connecting member, the overhanging part can be displaced, and the direction and distribution of the light illuminating the inside of the aquarium is set so that the cameraman sets multiple lights to make the subject look the most beautiful The user can set it arbitrarily. When the illumination light source of the overhanging part is provided with a means for adjusting the irradiation angle, the light irradiation angle can be further finely adjusted. The inside of the aquarium can be illuminated with adjusted and optimized light. If different luminescent colors are used for the light from the top of the luminaire body and the light from before or from the side where the overhanging part emits, the color rendering (how the target color looks) can be adjusted arbitrarily. Advanced production using color is possible.
