Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a lighting device for funerals, and more specifically,
Bubbles are generated by heating from a light source, and the light changes infinitely, such as reflection, coloring, and flickering, to continuously produce a religious glow effect that matches the atmosphere of the altar. The present invention relates to a lighting device for funerals.

[Conventional technology]

Traditionally, lighting devices for funerals use, for example, a transparent tube filled with a low-boiling-point liquid, which generates air bubbles when heated by a light source, and the floating movement of these air bubbles creates a decorative glow effect on lamps, etc. or by mixing a reflective piece with a specific gravity similar to that of the liquid in a liquid sealed in a transparent tube, causing convection in the liquid by heating from a light source, and causing the upward and downward circulation movement of the reflective piece. It is known that lamps are used to give a decorative glow effect to lamps and the like.

However, since the former method uses a glass tube filled with a liquid with a low boiling point, it has poor thermal efficiency when generating bubbles by heating from a light source, and only the floating movement of the bubbles. However, in the latter case, the movement of the reflective piece is only an upward and downward circular movement, and like the former, the change is monotonous.In both cases, the light that matches the atmosphere of the altar is It was not possible to produce sustainable changes.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The present invention has been devised based on a completely new concept in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is to generate bubbles by heating from a light source, and to color the light by reflection. By producing infinite changes in light such as flickering and flickering, it can continuously produce a religious glow effect that matches the atmosphere of the altar, inducing meditation and a feeling of emptiness in mourners. Our goal is to provide a lighting device for funerals that can be used for funerals.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to solve the above problems, the technical means adopted by the present invention is a foaming tube in which a transparent or translucent cylinder is provided on a base having a built-in light source, and a low-boiling point foaming liquid is sealed inside the cylinder. and a glow tube formed by mixing a reflective piece with a specific gravity similar to that of the liquid in an enclosed liquid, and a foaming glow tube formed by mixing a reflective piece with a specific gravity similar to that of the liquid into an enclosed low-boiling foaming liquid. A combination of the foaming tube and the glow tube are combined and supported in an upright manner, the foaming tube and the foaming glow tube are combined and supported in an upright manner, and the foaming tube and the glow tube are combined and supported in an upright manner. The foaming tubes are supported in combination with the foaming tubes, and only the foaming glow tubes are vertically supported, and a colored plate is rotatably mounted between the heating section of each tube and the light source, and the foaming tubes and This device is characterized in that the heating part of the foaming glow tube is filled and encapsulated with a metal net-like body.

[Effect]

Therefore, according to the present invention, since the heating portions of the foaming tube and the foaming glow tube are filled and sealed with the mesh, the heat transfer efficiency due to heating from the light source is improved, and the heating portions of the foaming tube and the foaming glow tube are first improved. Bubbles are generated from inside the liquid in the tube, and a floating movement of the bubbles takes place. Then, with a slight time difference, convection is generated in the glow tube and the bubbling glow tube due to heating, and this convection causes the reflective piece to move up and down in circulation, and at the same time reflects the light from the light source while floating. It is possible to create changes in sparkling light. Moreover, by rotating the colored plate, the bubbles and reflective pieces can be given a change in color and flicker, and the synergistic effect of these can produce an infinite variety of light changes.
