'89. This is shown on page 86.

In the ball light shown in FIG. 4, 21 is a two-wood support, the lower end of which is fixed to a support plate 22 and buried underground. Reference numeral 23 denotes a ball light ballast storage box, which is fixed to the lower part of two wooden supports 21 and buried underground together with the lower parts of both supports 21 and 21. 2. At the top of the wooden support 21 is a light source 24.
A lamp 25 having a built-in lamp is attached. Stabilizer storage box 2
A stabilizer 26 is installed inside the stabilizer storage box 23.
1i27 is removably attached to the opening.

In the footlight shown in FIG. 5, 28 is a support, the lower end of which is fixed to a support plate 29 and buried underground. 30 is a lamp mounted on the top of the support column 28.

The height of the pole lamp is usually 3.5 to 4 m, and the light source 24 of the lamp 25 is of high wattage (for example, 100 to 200 watts). On the other hand, the height of the footlight is usually about 1 m, and the light source of the lamp 30 is a low wattage (for example, 60 watts or less).

Conventional ball lights and footlights are configured as described above, so pole lights are used to provide bright illumination until 10 p.m., when there is generally a lot of foot traffic, and after 10 p.m., footlights are used for security reasons. I use it as a night light.

[Invention or problem to be solved]

However, conventional ball lights and footlights are dedicated lighting devices, so when installing them on streets, parks, etc., the number of units installed increases, equipment costs and construction costs increase. There was a problem with becoming.

Additionally, when arranging pole lights and footlights, they had to be positioned while considering the balance between lighting effects and urban aesthetics, which was extremely troublesome and bothersome.

This invention was made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is possible to reduce costs such as equipment costs and construction costs, and to easily arrange the layout from the viewpoint of lighting effects and urban aesthetics. The purpose of this invention is to provide a lighting device that can

(Means for Solving the Problems) A lighting device according to the present invention includes two parallel pillars whose lower ends are buried underground and stands up, a lamp attached to the upper part of both pillars, and a light fixture attached to the upper part of both pillars. The ballast storage box includes a ballast storage box attached at a lower part thereof away from the ground surface, and the ballast storage box is provided with a lamp on at least one of its upper and lower parts.

(Function) The light fixtures attached to the tops of the two supports in this invention function as ball lights that brightly illuminate the surroundings, and the light fixtures attached to at least one of the top and bottom of the ballast storage box function as ball lights that brightly illuminate the surroundings. , which functions as a footlight to illuminate the area around your feet.

In this way, the lighting device according to the present invention has both the functions of a pole light and a footlight, so when it is installed on a street, a park, etc., the number of devices to be installed can be half that of the conventional one. For this reason,
This makes it possible to reduce costs such as equipment costs and construction costs.

Furthermore, as mentioned above, the lighting device of this invention has both the functions of a ball light and a footlight, so when placed on a street, park, etc., it is possible to position it in a way that balances both lighting effects and urban aesthetics. becomes easier.

(Example〕 FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, 1 is a parallel branch of two trees, the lower end of which is buried underground, and the upper end of which is fitted with a lamp 3 containing a light source 2. Reference numeral 4 designates a support plate for the support column 1, and reference numeral 5 designates a ballast storage box installed between the two branches 1 at a distance from the ground surface (floating on the ground). 6 and 7 are light fixtures that are loosely attached to the upper and lower parts of the ballast storage box 5. Reference numeral 8 indicates the ballast stored in the ballast storage box 5; 9 indicates the opening of the ballast storage box 5; There is.

FIG. 2 shows another embodiment. In this embodiment, the ballast storage box 5 is connected to the pillars 1, 1 via the connecting pipe 1o, and other embodiments are shown. FIG. 3, which is the same as that shown in FIG. 1, shows the detailed structure around the measuring device storage box 5 shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, 'it
The source wire 11 is drawn in from the support plate 4 of the column 1 or the side surface of the column 1 (a power line lead-in hole 12 provided therein), passes through the communication hole 13 between the column 1 and the ballast storage box 5, and is connected to the ballast 8. The primary side is connected to the internal wiring 14 of the lamp 6 and the internal wiring 15 of the lamp 7.The secondary side of the ballast 8 is connected to the internal wiring 16 passed through the communication hole 13 and the support 1. Prop l
It is connected to the lamp 3 at the upper end of the lamp. 17 is a light source of the lamp 7.

The detailed structure around the ballast storage box 5 in FIG. 2 is either not shown or is almost the same as that in FIG. 3.

The communication hole 13 in Fig. 3 or the connecting pipe 10 in Fig. 2
The only difference is that the point formed by

Next, the operation will be explained based on the above configuration.

The light fixture 3 installed on the top of the branch office 1 is a pole light that brightly illuminates the surrounding area.・Functional, stabilizer storage box 5
4- The lamp 6.7 attached below functions as a footlight to illuminate the area underfoot. Therefore, the lighting device of the example is
If the base is installed, a conventional ball light and footlight can be installed at the same time.

Therefore, when the lighting device of the embodiment is installed on a street or a park, the number of installations can be half of that of the conventional lighting device, and the cost of fidgeting equipment and construction costs are low.

In addition, since the lighting device of the embodiment has the functions of both a ball light and a footlight as described above, when it is placed on a mountain road or a park, the number of pieces to be installed can be reduced, thereby improving the lighting effect and the aesthetic appearance of the city. can be easily balanced and positioned.

In the above embodiment, the lamp 6 and the lamp 7 are respectively attached to both the upper and lower parts of the ballast storage box 9, but they may be attached to only one of them.

When deciding whether to attach the light fixtures to both the upper and lower parts of the storage box 9, to one side, or to change the mounting position for each lighting device, consider the lighting effect at the time and the aesthetic effect of the lighting.
