Abstract

The present invention relates to an indoor parking lot, comprising: a hollow frame portion, which is installed in the lengthwise direction on the ceiling along a driving path; and a lighting portion, which is fixedly installed on a side surface of the frame portion, for lighting the driving path and parking space around the driving path, wherein the lighting portion provides light distribution which is perpendicular to a driving direction of the driving path. The present invention is installed along the driving path of a vehicle which is between the parking spaces, so as to limit light distribution to directions on both sides of the direction of installation, thereby reducing the number of lighting portions while providing light having ample brightness to the parking spaces and a lighting space and thus effectively minimizing power consumption despite constant lighting.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A lighting device for an indoor parking lot, comprising:
a hollow frame installed on a ceiling lengthily along a track, wherein the hollow frame includes a bottom surface that faces a bottom surface of the parking lot and an upper surface that contacts the ceiling;
a lighting unit fixedly installed on an outer side surface of the hollow frame; and
a camera installed on the hollow frame,
wherein the hollow frame has an inclined surface with a width of the bottom surface that is narrower than a width of the upper surface of the hollow frame, for lighting the track and a space around the track and providing a light distribution perpendicular to a travel direction of the track,
wherein an electric wire for supplying electric power to the camera and a signal line for transmitting an image photographed by the camera are provided within the hollow frame,
wherein the lighting unit includes:
a bracket coupled to the outer side surface of the hollow frame;
a housing having a semi-cylindrical structure;
a cover coupled to the housing;
a substrate fixed to an inside of the housing in parallel to the bracket and configured to receive electric power through an electric wire located within the hollow frame; and
an LED mounted to the substrate, for emitting light,

wherein the housing includes a rear side fixed to the bracket, a bottom side and a front side which are open, and
wherein the cover is coupled to the opened portion of the bottom side and the front side of the housing.

2. The lighting device of claim 1 , wherein a connection adapter is inserted into the hollow frame in a lengthwise direction of the hollow frame to extend lengthily along the track.
