[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a Meng Song bamboo forest lighting device for illuminating bamboo forests such as Japanese gardens at night.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When a bamboo forest is illuminated at night, green bamboo shining in silver gray emerges in the darkness, giving it a mysterious beauty and a mysterious atmosphere. Therefore, in a bamboo forest provided in a Japanese garden or the like, an illumination device for viewing is often installed.

As a lighting device for such a bamboo forest, a footlight 11 as shown in FIG. 5 has been conventionally used. The footlight 11 is a lamp 11a installed at the height of the ground, and the hood 11b covers the rear of the lamp 11a. By irradiating the front only with light, the front bamboo forest can be illuminated from below. It is like this.

[0004]

However, in such a footlight 11, it is difficult to obtain the lighting effect that the root of the ground becomes the brightest, and the bamboo grove stands up in the darkness. Since the nearby ground becomes extremely bright, the position of the light source was immediately known to the observer, and the mysterious atmosphere was spoiled.

[0005]

In order to solve the above problems, the Meng Song bamboo forest lighting device of the present invention has all the nodes removed in the length from the lower end to the upper end of the light source, and the light is emitted to the front side. It is characterized in that a bamboo culm provided with a transparent window portion is erected on the ground, and a pillar supporting a light source is erected on the ground in a lower part of the bamboo culm.

[0006]

With the above structure, the light source can be supported by the column and emit light from a position slightly higher than the ground. Therefore, the front part of the bamboo grove that receives illumination from this light source is brightest in the lower part and darker in the upper part, and the vicinity of the root is not too bright, so that it becomes visible in the darkness at night. Further, this light source is directly or reflected inside the bamboo culm through a window provided in the lower part of the bamboo culm and indirectly radiated forward only from a position slightly higher than the ground.
Therefore, the light source is completely shielded by the bamboo culm from the rear observer, and the ground in the vicinity of the bamboo culm does not become extremely bright, so that the mysterious atmosphere is not impaired. In addition, since the material of the inner surface of the bamboo culm is white, the reflected light from the light source is softened and radiated, and a more mysterious atmosphere can be created. However, in some cases, in order to further improve this effect, a suitable reflector may be provided on the light source.

As a result, if the bamboo forest lighting device of the present invention is used to illuminate the bamboo forest, the bamboo forest emerges in the darkness to create a mysterious beauty, and the viewer is provided with a mysterious atmosphere. You will be able to enjoy it.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

1 to 4 show an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a vertical sectional side view of a main part of a bamboo forest lighting device, and FIG. 2 is a horizontal sectional plan view of the bamboo forest lighting device. 3 is a perspective view of a main part of the bamboo forest lighting device, and FIG. 4 is a rear view of the entire bamboo forest lighting device.

As shown in FIG. 1, the bamboo forest lighting device of this embodiment comprises a bamboo culvert 1, a support 2, and a fluorescent lamp 3.

The bamboo culm 1 is made by cutting off the branches and leaves of Meng Sung bamboo and selecting the bamboo with the same thickness as the bamboo bush, and painting it to the same color as the bamboo around the surface. Remove each node 1a in the length dimension to the upper end of the fluorescent lamp 3
The inside of the lower part has a long tubular shape. In addition, a window 1b is formed by cutting a side wall on the front side of the lower part of the bamboo culvert 1 slightly above the ground. This window 1b
2 has a central angle of about 60 degrees as shown in FIG. 2, so it has a sufficient opening in the front as shown in FIG. 3 and is completely invisible from the back as shown in FIG. It has become. A transparent plastic plate or the like may be fitted into the window 1b to prevent rain or the like from entering the bamboo culm 1.

As shown in FIG. 1, the bamboo culm 1 has its lower end embedded in the ground, and the upper end of the bamboo culvert 1 is connected to the adjacent bamboo 5 by a wire 4 as shown in FIG. It is designed to stand on the ground. A plurality of bamboo culms 1 are erected at an appropriate interval so as to face several bamboos at a position closest to the viewer behind the bamboo grove. The bamboo culm 1 may be erected by any method other than the embodiment. In addition, this bamboo culm 1
The surface of the new green bamboo gradually changes its color to brown, so the first thing to do is to apply the same green paint as Meng Song bamboo.

As shown in FIG. 1, the pillar 2 is made of the bamboo culvert 1 described above.
Is a rod-shaped support member that is erected on the ground in a cylindrical shape in the lower part of. The fluorescent lamp 3 is vertically supported on the upper portion of the column 2. The fluorescent lamp 3 is a light source composed of a fluorescent tube 3a and a lighting circuit 3b, and is connected to a power source 7 via a wiring 6 that passes through the ground. Therefore, when the fluorescent lamp 3 is turned on, the light is directly or indirectly reflected by the inner surface of the bamboo culm 1 and then indirectly radiated to the outside through the window portion 1b to illuminate the front bamboo forest. . A reflecting plate may be provided on the fluorescent lamp 3 so that the reflected light of the reflecting plate is irradiated instead of the reflected light on the inner surface of the bamboo culvert 1.

With the above-described structure, in the bamboo forest lighting device of this embodiment, since the fluorescent lamp 3 is supported by the support columns 2 and emits the illumination light from a position slightly higher than the ground, the bamboo forest in the front is brightest in the lower part, It becomes dark and the area around the root is not too bright, so it becomes visible in the darkness at night. In addition, the fluorescent lamp 3 emits light from the window portion 1b which is hidden in the bamboo culvert 1 and hidden from the observer.
Since the lighting from a slightly higher position does not make the ground near the bamboo culm 1 extremely bright, there is no fear of impairing the mysterious atmosphere of the lighting, and the three-dimensional lighting is the main focus of the bamboo forest. Become. Moreover, since the fluorescent lamp 3 which is a line light source is used vertically instead of the lamp which is a point light source, the lighting range is widened upward so that the scale of bamboo forest can be fully exhibited and the position of the light source can be set to the viewer. By not being aware of it, you will be able to create a more profound atmosphere. Further, since the light from the fluorescent lamp 3 is directly irradiated from the window portion 1b, the white light on the inner surface of the bamboo culvert 1 or the light provided by the reflection plate provided on the fluorescent lamp 3 is radiated after the light is emitted. It can provide soft and natural lighting.

As a result, if the bamboo forest lighting device of the present embodiment is used for illumination, the bamboo forest is raised in the darkness to give a mysterious beauty and to the viewer to fully enjoy the mysterious atmosphere. Will be able to.

Since there are many mosquitoes and other harmful insects in the bamboo forest, it is possible to use water as a moth light by flooding the bottom of the fluorescent lamp 3.

[0017]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the bamboo forest lighting device of the present invention, the bamboo forest is illuminated from a position slightly higher than the ground, and the light source is surely hidden from the observer by the bamboo culm. This makes it possible to make this bamboo forest stand out even more effectively in the darkness of the night, and to obtain a lighting effect that does not impair the mysterious atmosphere.
