However, the lighting device a of the three-sided mirror makeup cabinet A in FIG. 5 is provided above the central mirror 1 so as to project forward, and is used as a light source. Since the incandescent lamp or fluorescent tube is exposed, the light is bright when you put it on for makeup, but it is hard to put it on your eyes and it is hard to put on. It looks as if there are more light sources than the actual ones, and it also makes the user feel more glare, which is not very pleasant to the user.

Therefore, the lighting device b of the makeup cabinet B, which has improved the drawbacks of the lighting device a, is provided on the upper ends of the shelves 2 on both sides of the mirror 1 by providing a cover c around the incandescent lamp or the fluorescent tube. The structure is such that even if it is lit by the cover c, the illumination light does not directly dazzle the user's eyes, but because of the cover c, not only fluorescent tubes but also incandescent lamps in particular generate light. The heat generated inside the cover becomes high inside and inside the cover, and in the case of a synthetic resin cover, the deterioration of the material is rapid. Considering this, it is expensive to use a material with excellent heat resistance. There is a drawback. Also, if it is made of metal, there is no problem in heat resistance, but since it has good heat conductivity, it will become hot and there is a danger of burns if it is touched by the user's hand.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The problem to be solved is that the user and the lighting device with various exposure light sources that are brightest on the mirror surface are dazzling when applying makeup, and the lighting device with a cover on the light source is damaged by the heat of the light source and damage to the lighting equipment. However, there are drawbacks such as the risk of burns to the user, the lighting source is not dazzling, and a safe lighting device that does not generate high heat is desired.

[0005]

[Means for solving the problem]

 The lighting device for the makeup cabinet of the present invention is intended to obtain a lighting device that does not dazzle the eye of the person who puts on the makeup even when he / she looks at the brightened mirror by turning on the light source for illumination provided in the makeup cabinet, and does not raise the heat. , A lighting cabinet comprising a translucent front cover that covers the outside of the front half of an incandescent lamp or other light source, and a rear cover that has a large number of ventilation and light transmission holes outside the light source. It is characterized in that it is attached so as to illuminate the mirror surface of.

[0006]

[Action]

 The light source is covered with a semi-transparent front cover and a rear cover with ventilation and light transmission holes, and the upper and lower half of the light source is open. When the incandescent lamp and other light sources are turned on by operating the blinking switch on the cabinet or on the wall of the cabinet, the mirror surface and the face of the user who wants to make up Lighting the body etc.The light from the light source is radiated through the semi-transparent front cover and through the mirror surface through the ventilation and light transmission holes in the rear cover, and the direct light does not enter the eyes or the mirror. After use, operate the switch to turn off the light.
