[Problem that the idea aims to solve]

However, in the lighting fixture 6 having such a structure, the fixture main body 8 is long, and when used The sheet metal also needs to be thick in terms of strength, making it expensive. In addition, to the bathroom vanity 1 Installation also required screwing and caulking methods. Also, the lighting fixture 6 itself is large, The disadvantage was that packaging and transportation costs were high.

[0005] Therefore, the present invention was created in view of the above, and is designed to reduce the size of the device body as much as possible. In addition to reducing packaging and transportation costs, it is easy to install on the bathroom vanity and is easy to assemble. Lighting fixtures for bathroom vanities that provide strong standing strength and bathroom vanities using such lighting fixtures The purpose is to obtain a dressing table.

[0006]

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a lighting device with at least a lamp socket. The main body of the device contains the lighting circuit parts excluding the mounting part, and the wiring cord is attached to the main body of the device. It consists of a pair of lamp sockets connected by , a main body loading part to which the instrument main body is attached, and a predetermined interval on both sides of this main body loading part. It is equipped with a socket loading section that mounts a pair of lamp sockets spaced apart from each other. .

[0007] More specifically, the appliances are installed in the main body loading part and the socket loading part of the bathroom vanity. An engaging portion is provided that engages with the main body and the lamp socket, and The mounting seat of the lamp socket and the lamp socket on the bathroom vanity has a spring that is engaged with the engaging part. A sexual engagement piece is provided.

[0008]

[Effect]

Lighting equipment with such a structure may not have a lamp socket in the main body of the equipment. Therefore, the main body of the device can be made as small as possible, and thin sheet metal or plastic molded products can be used as materials. I can do it. Also, it can be installed on the bathroom vanity by simply engaging the two with a single touch. It is extremely easy to assemble as it does not require screw tightening or caulking.
