Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a technique for making it difficult to see the inside of a bathroom from outside the window even if it is illuminated at night in a bathroom with a window.

[Background Art] Conventionally, a lighting fixture 11 with a single light source was attached to the ceiling or wall of the bathroom 12, and the window 2 was only provided with a flat general window. As the light from the lighting equipment 11 is diffused and escapes through the window 2, the inside of the bathroom 12 can be seen from outside at night, which poses a problem in terms of privacy protection. Further, since the lighting fixture 11 is a single light source, the lighting effect in the bathroom 12 is poor, and there is a problem in that the bathroom 12 gives a uniform and tasteless impression to the user.

[Purpose of the invention] The present invention was devised in view of the above points, and its purpose is to prevent the interior from being seen through the window when it is lit at night, thereby improving privacy. A lighting system for a bathroom with a window that can ensure a comfortable bathing experience, and also make the window part stand out from the wall surface due to the difference in shading in the bathroom, enhancing the lighting effect in the bathroom and making bathing more comfortable. is to provide.

[Disclosure of the invention] The lighting device for a bathroom with a window of the invention includes a bathroom main body 1
and the window 2 through a communication section 3, and this communication section 3
A communication section lighting fixture 4 for illuminating the inside of the communication section 3 is provided in the bathroom, and the illuminance inside the communication section 3 is made higher than the illuminance inside the bathroom main body 1, and such a configuration is adopted. This achieves the above-mentioned purpose of the present invention. In other words, in the present invention, when the inside of the communication section 3 is illuminated by the communication section lighting fixture 4 provided in the communication section 3, the illuminance inside the communication section 3 is higher than the illuminance inside the bathroom main body 1, so it is difficult to illuminate the inside of the communication section 3 at night. The interior of the bathroom main body 1 cannot be seen through the window 2, and the interior of the communication section 3 is illuminated with high illuminance, so that the communication section 3 stands out from the wall surface 5 of the bathroom main body 1. As a result, shadows are highlighted and light leaks indirectly from the communication portion 3 into the bathroom body 1, improving the lighting effects and making bathing more comfortable.

The present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to Examples. The bathroom main body 1 is shown using a so-called bathroom unit in the embodiment shown in the figure, but it is of course not limited to a unitized one, and can be formed on-site by tiling or the like. It is also possible to do so. A window 2 is connected to the bathroom main body 1 through a communication part 3. In the illustrated embodiment, a bay window is shown as the window 2, and a peripheral wall portion of the bay window serves as a communication portion 3. Of course, due to the structure of the bathroom unit, the window 2 may not protrude beyond the exterior wall 6 of the building toward the outdoors (that is, it may not be a bay window). A communication section lighting fixture 4 is provided on the inner surface of the communication section 3. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, a communication section lighting fixture 4 such as a downlight or a fluorescent lamp is embedded in the ceiling 7 of the communication section 3, and this communication section lighting fixture 4 is designed to illuminate the communication section 3. It's summery. In other words, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the communication section 3 is illuminated from top to bottom by the communication section lighting fixture 4. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, a recess 9 is provided in the side wall 8 of the communication portion 3, and a lighting fixture 4 for the communication portion is disposed in this recess 9. Light is emitted from the departmental lighting fixture 4 toward the other side.
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, a communication section lighting fixture 4 such as a fluorescent lamp is disposed approximately at the center inside the communication section 3, and a reflector plate 10 is disposed in front of the communication section lighting fixture 4.
Light from the communication section lighting fixture 4 is reflected by a reflector plate 10 and concentrated on the inner surface of the communication section 3. In either embodiment, the communication portion 3
The illuminance inside the bathroom body 1 is set higher than the illuminance inside the bathroom body 1. Of course, body-side lighting fixtures may be provided inside the bathroom body 1, but even in this case, the illuminance within the communication portion 3 is set to be higher than the illuminance within the bathroom body 1. Further, in any of the embodiments, the lighting fixture 4 for the communication section must be a waterproof and moisture-proof type of lighting fixture, or the louver must have a waterproof and moisture-proof function.

[Effects of the invention] In the present invention, as described above, the bathroom main body and the window are communicated through the communication part, and a lighting fixture for the communication part is provided in the communication part to illuminate the inside of the communication part. The illuminance of the bathroom was made higher than the illuminance inside the bathroom itself, so by turning on the lighting equipment for the communication section at night, the illuminance of the communication section becomes higher than the illuminance inside the bathroom itself. It is not possible to see into the bathroom body, and it is possible to protect privacy while bathing. Moreover, the communication part becomes a bright part illuminated with light,
It stands out from the wall of the bathroom main body, creating a shading effect, creating an accent due to the difference in shading, and because the light leaks indirectly into the bathroom main body from the communication part, it creates a mellow brightness. This improves the lighting effect and allows for a more comfortable bathing experience.
