Illuminating apparatus

An illuminating apparatus comprising:

• an illumination light source disposed in a housing, the illumination light source being configured to generate illumination light;
• a video projecting apparatus disposed in the housing, the video projecting apparatus being configured to generate video light, the video light from the video projecting apparatus being projected into an illumination light area from the illumination light source;
• a motion detector configured to detect an approach of a human body;
• and
• a controller configured to control an operation of at least one or both of the illumination light source and the video projecting apparatus on a basis of a detection signal from the motion detector, the controller being configured to adjust brightness of the illumination light from the illumination light source,
• wherein when the motion detector does not detect the approach of the human body, the controller is configured to set a video light projecting image projected from the video projecting apparatus to become a state where the image is blocked out, and
• wherein when the motion detector detects the approach of the human body, the controller is configured to release the state where the video light projected from the video projecting apparatus is blocked out, and adjust a degree of superimposition of the illumination light from the illumination light source with respect to the image projected from the video projecting apparatus to be within a predetermined acceptable range.

• a controller configured to control an operation of at least one or both of the illumination light source and the video projecting apparatus on a basis of a detection signal from the motion detector, the controller being configured to adjust brightness of the illumination light from the illumination light source;
• and
• an indirect illumination light source configured to illuminate indirect illumination light to an outside of the video light from the video projecting apparatus,
• wherein the controller is configured to operate the video projecting apparatus in accordance with the detection signal of the approach of the human body from the motion detector, and adjust the indirect illumination light source so that a degree of superimposition of the indirect illumination light from the indirect illumination light source with respect to an image projected from the video projecting apparatus is within a predetermined acceptable range,
• wherein when the motion detector does not detect the approach of the human body, the controller is configured to set a video light projecting image projected from the video projecting apparatus to become a state where the image is blocked out, and
• wherein when the motion detector detects the approach of the human body, the controller is configured to release the state where the video light projected from the video projecting apparatus is blocked out, turn the illumination light source off, and keep the indirect illumination light source on.
