Lighting device having first and second organic electroluminescence element modules

A lighting device, comprising:

• a device body adapted to be installed on a surface of a room, the device body having a first recess at an upper side of the device body and a second recess at a lower side of the device body;
• first organic electroluminescence element modules including first organic electroluminescence elements, the first organic electroluminescence element modules being positioned within the first recess of the device body with light-emitting surfaces of the first organic electroluminescence elements facing toward the surface of the room when the device body is installed on the surface of the room;
• a first light-transmitting protection cover positioned over the first recess so as to cover light-emitting surfaces of the first organic electroluminescence element modules;
• second organic electroluminescence element modules including second organic electroluminescence elements, the second organic electroluminescence element modules being positioned within the second recess of the device body with light-emitting surfaces of the second organic electroluminescence elements facing toward an inside of the room opposite to the surface of the room when the device body is installed on the surface of the room;
• a second protection cover positioned over the second recess so as to cover the light-emitting surfaces of the second organic electroluminescence element modules, the second protection cover being generally planar;
• and
• a spacer arranged between the device body and the second protection cover to maintain a specified distance between the device body and the second protection cover,
• wherein the number of the first organic electroluminescence element modules are smaller than the number of the second organic electroluminescence element modules.
