Abstract
A reflector disposed in an inclined orientation such that the lower portion of an axis is located nearer to a wall surface. A light-emitting surface of a planar light source is inclined with respect to a first virtual plane that is perpendicular to the axis, such that a portion farther from the wall surface is located relatively upper. In other words, the light-emitting surface is oriented toward a region of the reflector located farther from the wall surface than the axis.
Claims4
A lighting device body, recessed in a ceiling surface when it is used, with a central axis of the lighting device body being oriented in a vertical direction, characterized in that:
- the lighting device body comprises:
- a planar light source having a light-emitting surface, and
- a reflector formed in a bowl-like shape centering around an axis that intersects the central axis, and disposed to cover a lower portion of the light-emitting surface,
- wherein the reflector is inclined such that a lower portion the axis is located nearer to a wall surface, and
- wherein the light-emitting surface is disposed such that:
- the center of the light-emitting surface is located on the axis, and
- the light-emitting surface is inclined such that, when a first virtual plane that is orthogonal to the axis is used as a reference plane, a portion of the light-emitting surface farther from the wall surface is located relatively upper.
