Furthermore, since the half mirror transmits a portion of the incident light flux, the image of the light source reflected on the half mirror becomes dark, and therefore the image of the light source reflected at the back of the mirror becomes very dark. Therefore, the number of apparent light sources can be increased depending on the placement position of the half mirror and the mirror. Also, depending on the placement of the apparent light sources and the amount of light from the light sources, this lighting fixture looks three-dimensional, creating a calming atmosphere. It can create a sense of depth in the atmosphere.

In the present invention as set forth in claim 2, the light beam emitted from the light source passes through the transparent member and is emitted from the end face of the characters or designs engraved on the transparent member, and this end face becomes a light emitting body and produces the same effect as the light source. Since this transparent member is placed between the half mirror and the mirror, images of characters and designs are reflected on the half mirror and the mirror according to their respective arrangement positions, and the characters reflected in the mirror are The images of the figures can be seen through the half mirror. Furthermore, since a half mirror is used, the images of letters and designs reflected at the back of the mirror are dark, so this lighting fixture looks three-dimensional, creating a sense of depth with a calming atmosphere.
