The housing 5 is transparent or translucent (for example, PMMA (acrylic), PET (polyethylene terephthalate), PC (polycarbonate), etc.) and is not shown in FIG. It covers the battery section 4 as well. From the housing 5, the control section 3, the illumination section 2 and the rechargeable battery section 4 are configured to be connectable. The control unit 3 includes a computer, and has a computer body and the like (not shown). The main body of the computer is a CPU (Central Processing
Unit), RAM (Random Access Memory), ROM (Read Only Memory), and the like. Each process is controlled by a computer.

On the other hand, the controller 3 is equipped with a small microphone 9 so that it can recognize voice and control the wireless lighting device 1 accordingly. For this reason, ON-OFF can be instructed by voice, and the switch may be omitted. The rechargeable battery unit 4 is provided with a charge lamp and is configured to indicate the amount of charge by color. For example, red means no charge, yellow means halfway charged, green means finished charging, and so on.

A mark 2L and a mark 2R are provided on the front side of the lighting unit 2 so as not to confuse the left and right when the wireless lighting device 1 is attached. That is, when the mark 2L is placed on the left side, the mark 2R is placed on the right side. When the wireless lighting device 1 is actually installed, the longitudinal direction of the wireless lighting device 1 is horizontal, and the mark 2L and the mark 2R are on the front side, and the mark 2L is on the left and the mark 2R is on the right when viewed from the installer. will do.

As a result, the wireless lighting device 1 can be used alone for various purposes such as illumination. It should be noted that various messages can be conveyed by changing the flashing cycle or color of the LED of the lighting section 2 of the wireless lighting device 1 . In addition, it can be installed in the passage of the building during normal times and used as a portable lighting in case of emergency.

As shown in FIG. 2, the illumination unit 2 may be provided with, for example, a flexible printed circuit board and an illumination unit 12 (also referred to as a film LED). As a result, it is possible to bend and install the lighting section 12 of the flexible printed circuit board even at a corner. The illumination portion 12 of the flexible printed circuit board has LEDs (light emitting diodes) 15 linearly arranged in the longitudinal direction of the flexible printed circuit board 14 and has a pair of connection ends 13 . One of the connecting end portions 13 is connected to the control portion 3 and the other is configured to be detachably connected to the rechargeable battery portion 4 .

As shown in FIG. 3, in the wireless lighting device 1, it is possible to combine the wireless lighting device 1 with a thin magnetic metal plate 17 having an adhesive 18 applied to the back surface thereof.

As a result, if the magnetic metal thin plate 17 is attached with the adhesive 18 to a non-magnetic place (concrete wall, etc.), it can be repeatedly attached and detached by the permanent magnet 7 arranged in the lighting section 2 of the wireless lighting device 1 . . Also, in the case of a normal magnetic metal thin plate 17, by sticking a commercially available double-faced tape to the magnetic metal thin plate 17, the magnetic metal thin plate 17 can be used by changing the double-faced tape regardless of how many times the sticking place is changed. By configuring the wireless lighting device 1 so that it can be easily attached and detached from the magnetic metal thin plate 17 with a magnet in this way, it can be easily removed in an emergency (for example, in the event of a power failure). It can be used as lighting. Here, for example, if one LED 6 is turned on and a voice is uttered, one LED 6 lights up. This will act as a small light at night in case of emergency. Furthermore, if only one LED 6 is lit near a fire extinguisher, an emergency exit, or the like during sleep at night, it can also serve as an emergency light. If the wireless lighting device 1 is to be attached to a corner of a pillar or the like, prepare two magnetic metal thin plates 17 and attach the first of the two to one of the corners of the pillar. By attaching the sheet to the other corner and bending the tape LED of the wireless lighting device using the tape LED 12, it is possible to arrange along the right-angled corner. On the other hand, a large magnetic metal thin plate may be prepared and a plurality of wireless lighting devices 1 arranged side by side to serve as a large mark. For example, the arrangement of the wireless lighting devices 1 may be changed for each day to create large characters and send a different message every day.
