Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] To improve the appearance by hiding the socket. [Construction] In a downlight in which a socket 3 is horizontally arranged so that a lamp 4 is located at the center of a reflecting mirror 2 and a louver 5 is provided in an opening of the reflecting mirror 2, a louver 5 is formed when viewed from the bottom surface. Socket part 3 between a pair of louver pieces 7
Is characterized in that it is located.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 This invention relates to downlights.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In the conventional downlight, no consideration was given to the shape and mounting method of the louver provided in the opening of the reflecting mirror. Note that FIG. 3 is a perspective view of an example of a conventional louver.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, when the socket 50 is mounted horizontally so that the lamp 53 is located at the center of the reflecting mirror 52, the socket 50 is easily visible and the appearance thereof deteriorates. . That is, when the louver piece 51 is located directly below the socket portion 50, the lamp brightness is high when the lamp is lit when viewed from outside the glare cut angle, but the socket portion 50 cannot be seen, but when viewed from within the glare cut angle, the louver piece 51 is not visible. The socket portion 50 is visible from between the pieces 51.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a downlight in which the socket portion is hidden and the appearance is improved.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The downlight of the present invention has a socket arranged horizontally so that the lamp is positioned at the center of the reflector, and the louver is provided at the opening of the reflector. It is characterized in that the socket portion is located between a pair of louver pieces forming a louver.

[0006]

[Action]

 According to the configuration of the present invention, when the lamp is turned on, when viewed from within the glare cut angle, the socket portion is hidden by the pair of louver pieces. Also, when viewed from outside the glare cut angle, the lamp brightness is high and the socket part cannot be seen as in the conventional example. Although the socket part is visible when the lamp is off, the downlight is not normally seen from directly below. Therefore, the socket portion is not visible and the appearance is improved. In addition, since the bottom of the socket has an opening, the temperature condition of the socket is improved.

【Example】

 A downlight according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. Reference numeral 1 is an instrument body to which the reflecting mirror 2, the socket portion 3 and the like are attached. Specifically, the socket 3 is mounted horizontally so that the lamp 4 is located at the center of the reflecting mirror 2. In this case, the socket portion 3 penetrates the reflecting mirror 2 and is exposed on the inner surface thereof. A louver 5 is provided at the opening of the reflecting mirror 2.

As shown in FIG. 1, the louver 5 includes a cylindrical first louver piece 6 arranged concentrically with the central axis of the reflecting mirror 2 and an outer peripheral surface of the first louver piece 6. It is composed of a plurality of second louver pieces 7 ... Further, the socket portion 3 is attached to the instrument body 1 so that the socket portion 3 is located between the pair of louver pieces 7, 7 when viewed from the bottom surface. According to this downlight, when the lamp is turned on, the brightness of the lamp is high and the socket portion 3 cannot be seen when viewed from outside the glare cut angle. Although the socket 3 is visible when the lamp is off, the downlight is not normally seen from directly below. When viewed from within the glare cut angle, the socket portion 3 is hidden by the pair of louver pieces 7, 7. Therefore, when the lamp is turned on, the socket 3 is not visible and the appearance is improved.

Further, since the bottom of the socket 3 is an opening, the temperature condition of the socket 3 is improved. Further, since the lamp 4 is placed horizontally, the amount of light in the longitudinal direction of the lamp 4 is small, and since the light flux is not blocked by the louver piece 7, the shadow of the louver 5 is reduced. It should be noted that the louver 5 only needs to satisfy the condition that the socket portion 3 is positioned between a pair of louver pieces as viewed from the bottom surface, and thus may have a lattice shape or the like.

[0010]

[Effect of device]

 According to the downlight of this invention, when the lamp is turned on, the socket portion is hidden by the pair of louver pieces when viewed from within the glare cut angle. Further, when viewed from outside the glare cut angle, the lamp brightness is high and the socket portion cannot be seen as in the conventional example. The socket can be seen when the lamp is off, but normally the downlight is not seen from directly below. Therefore, the socket portion is not visible and the appearance is improved. Also, since the bottom of the socket has an opening, the temperature condition of the socket is improved.
