Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a technique for providing moody and effective lighting in a bathroom unit by continuous light lines on the wall and ceiling surfaces.

[Background Art] Conventionally, bathroom units have been illuminated by simply attaching lighting fixtures to the ceiling or wall of the bathroom unit to directly illuminate the interior of the bathroom unit. In other words, in the past, there was no idea of using lighting to improve the atmosphere inside the bathroom unit, to give tone to the space inside the bathroom unit, and to make bathing more comfortable.

[Purpose of the invention] The present invention was devised in view of the above points, and its purpose is to illuminate the interior of a bathroom unit with indirect light. To provide a lighting device for a bathroom unit that gives tone to the space inside the unit, provides mood lighting, and allows comfortable bathing from the aspect of lighting.

[Disclosure of the invention] The lighting device for a bathroom unit of the present invention has a vertically long recess 3 that opens forward and is long in the vertical direction in the wall 2 of the bathroom unit 1, and a spot lighting fixture 5 is installed on the ceiling 4 at the upper end of this recess 3. Place the spot lighting equipment 5.
A horizontally elongated lighting fixture 12, which is elongated in the horizontal direction and which faces the upper end of the recess 3 and whose one end is continuous with the spot lighting fixture 5, is disposed on the ceiling 4. By adopting this method, the above-mentioned purpose of the present invention is achieved. In other words, the light from the spot lighting device 5 is distributed inside the recess 3 from the upper end of the recess 3 downward, and this light is used to create a shadow between the recess 3 and the portion of the wall 2 other than the recess 3. Contrast is created, and due to the horizontal elongated lighting fixture 12, a horizontal and elongated line of light appears on the ceiling 4, and the horizontal and elongated light on the ceiling 4 and the vertical line of light from the recess 3 provided in the wall 2. The bathroom unit 1 is constructed so that the space is continuous, and the space inside the bathroom unit 1 is given a sense of balance.

The present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to Examples. The bathroom unit 1 is constructed by assembling walls 2, ceiling 4, floor 10, door 11, etc. A wall 2 of the bathroom unit 1 is provided with a recess 3 extending vertically and opening toward the front. The wall 2 of the bathroom unit 1 is constructed by assembling a plurality of panels. In the illustrated embodiment, the panels constituting the wall 2 include a general wall panel 6 that is normally used to construct the wall 2 of this type of bathroom unit 1, and a storage panel having a storage section 7. 8 and a recessed panel 9 having a recessed portion 3 extending in the vertical direction and opening at the front, and the wall 2 of the bathroom unit 1 is constructed by combining these wall panels 6, the storage panel 8, and the recessed panel 9. In the illustrated embodiment, an opening is provided between the wall panel 6 and the storage panel 8, and the recessed panel 9 is fitted into this opening. Of course, the recessed panel 9 may be arranged between the wall panels 6. Note that small irregularities may be provided on the side wall surface of the recess 3. The irregularities may be vertically wavy, or have many localized small protrusions or small recesses, but may be other than these.
By the way, when forming the panel 9 with recesses, the recesses 3
If the side wall surface of the projector is made flat, unnecessary undulations, protrusions, or dents may occur in some areas during manufacturing, and if the light distributed from above hits these undulations, protrusions, or dents, unnatural shadows may appear. However, in order to eliminate the unnaturalness of the above-mentioned undulations, protrusions, and depressions that occur during manufacturing, it is necessary to actively create a predetermined shading on the side wall surface of the recess 3. It is preferable to provide unevenness so that the surface of the product has an uneven surface, and to use shadows created by the actively formed unevenness to blur unnatural shadows caused by undulations, protrusions, and depressions that occur during manufacturing. Further, by allowing the side end portions of the shelf board to be placed or fitted into the recesses and recesses, the shelf board can be attached to any position of the recess 3 as required. The ceiling 4 of the bathroom unit 1 is formed of a panel, and a spot lighting fixture 5 is arranged at one end of the ceiling 4 at the upper end of the recess 3. It is placed opposite. Here, the spot lighting device 5 is a downlight or the like, and the light from the spot lighting device 5 is immediately distributed from the upper end of the recess 3 to the lower part of the recess 3, and the recess 3 itself becomes bright. Light distribution is restricted to other panel parts, and shadows appear on the wall 2 between the recess 3 and the parts other than the recess 3, and the space inside the bathroom unit 1 is indirectly illuminated from the recess 3.
In addition to the spot lighting fixture 5, the ceiling 4 is provided with a horizontally elongated lighting fixture 12 that is elongated in the horizontal direction. It is located on the side end side of the ceiling 4 opposite to the part where the spot lighting fixture 5 is installed, and the horizontal elongated lighting fixture 12 is an embedded lighting fixture embedded in the ceiling 4, and is located on the 4th side part of the ceiling. A louver 13 is provided in the bathroom unit 1 so that the light from the horizontally elongated lighting fixture 12 is distributed into the bathroom unit 1 through the louver 13. The vertical light line formed by the light distribution to the recess 3 by the spot lighting fixture 5 and the horizontal light line formed on the ceiling 4 by the horizontal elongated lighting fixture 12 are continuous, so that the bathroom unit The space inside the bathroom unit 1 is expanded, and the space inside the bathroom unit 1 is given tone. By the way, the shape of the recess 3 may be a triangular cross section, a semicircular cross section, a trapezoidal cross section, etc. as shown in FIG.
Of course, other shapes may also be used.

[Effects of the invention] As described above, in the present invention, a vertically long recess that opens forward is formed in the wall of the bathroom unit, and a lighting fixture is placed on the ceiling at the upper end of this recess. Since the light from the lighting fixture is directed downward from the upper end of the recess, the light from the lighting fixture is distributed downward from the upper end of the recess, and this light is transmitted between the recess where the light is distributed in the vertical direction and the part of the wall other than the recess. Not only does this create a contrast in shadows, but because the ceiling is equipped with a horizontally elongated lighting fixture that is continuous with the spot lighting fixture at one end, it creates a contrast between the vertical light lines that occur in the recessed part of the wall. The continuous horizontal lines of light that appear on the ceiling create a sense of spaciousness in the space inside the bathroom unit. You can enjoy a comfortable and luxurious bathing experience.
