Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a technique for providing moody and effective lighting using indirect light in a bathroom unit.

[Background Art] Conventionally, bathroom units have been illuminated by simply attaching lighting fixtures to the ceiling or walls 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, add tone to the space inside the bathroom unit, and enjoy a comfortable bathing experience.

[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 recess 3 that opens forward and becomes elongated in the vertical direction in the wall 2 of the bathroom unit 1, and a lighting fixture is installed on the ceiling 4 at the upper end of the recess 3. The lighting fixture 5 is arranged to face the upper end of the recess 3 so as to directly distribute light toward the bottom of the recess.By adopting such a configuration, the above-mentioned book It has achieved the purpose of its invention. In other words, the light from the lighting fixture 5 is distributed into the recess 3 from the upper end of the recess 3 downward, and this light is distributed in the recess 3 in the vertical direction.
The space inside the bathroom unit 1 is created by contrasting the shading between the wall 2 and the portion of the wall 2 other than the recess 3, thereby giving tone to the space inside the bathroom unit 1.

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 panels 6,
The recessed panel 9 is fitted into this opening and attached. Of course, a recessed panel 9 may be arranged between the wall panel 6 and the storage panel 8. A ceiling 4 of the bathroom unit 1 is formed of a panel, and a lighting fixture 5 is arranged on the ceiling 4 at the upper end of the recess 3 so as to face the upper end of the recess 3. Here, the lighting fixture 5 is a spot lighting fixture such as a downlight, and the light from the lighting fixture 5 is immediately distributed from the upper end of the recess 3 toward the bottom of the recess 3, and the recess 3 itself becomes bright. Light distribution to panel parts other than recess 3 is restricted, and wall 2
A shadow appears between the recess 3 and a portion other than the recess 3, and the space inside the bathroom unit 1 is indirectly illuminated from the recess 3, giving tone to the space inside the bathroom unit 1. As shown in FIG. 3, the concave portion 3 may have a triangular cross section, a semicircular cross section, a trapezoidal cross section, etc., but it is of course possible to have a shape other than this.

[Effects of the invention] As described above, in the present invention, a recess that opens forward and becomes elongated in the vertical direction 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. The lighting fixture was placed opposite the top end of the recess so that the light was distributed directly downwards from the top end of the recess. The light is distributed in a band shape, and the contrast between the shadows between the recess where the light is distributed vertically in a straight band shape and the parts of the wall other than the recess creates a sense of tone in the space inside the bathroom unit. This creates mood lighting and allows you to enjoy a comfortable and luxurious bathing experience. Furthermore, in order to illuminate the inside of the bathroom unit with indirect light, it is only necessary to provide a recess in the wall, so with a simple configuration, indirect light can add tone to the space inside the bathroom unit and create mood lighting. be. Furthermore, as described above, the space within the bathroom unit can be made larger due to the presence of the recessed portion through which the indirect lighting light is distributed.
