The light emission control means 9 also outputs a light intensity fluctuation control signal to the air conditioner control means 7. According to the output from the light emission control means 9, the air conditioner control means 7 controls so that the air volume of the air volume changing means 5 becomes slightly smaller when the light intensity weakens, and temporarily raises the blowout temperature to increase the light intensity. Controls to return the air volume of the air volume changing means 5 to the original value. As a result, when the visual warmth is weakened, the occupant's feeling of heating at the feet can be made stronger, and the feeling of heating can be maintained at all times. The synergistic effect with the fluctuation of the thermal sensation due to the fluctuation of the foot temperature can further enhance the relaxing effect.

As is apparent from the above description, according to the inventions according to the claims described in the scope of claims, it is controlled so as to have a bluish light color and to fluctuate the luminous intensity during cooling,
The air conditioner control means strengthens the air volume of the air conditioner as the light intensity is lower, and controls the wind direction downward. by this,
Blue light not only visually enhances the cooling sensation, but also adds fluctuations in the luminous intensity to prevent visual accustomation and gives a feeling of relaxation, and further strengthens the air volume during periods when the luminous intensity is low due to fluctuations. Further, by making the wind direction downward, the occupant's sensation of cool air can be enhanced to compensate for the visual deterioration of the cooling sensation, and the fluctuation effect of airflow can be added to the fluctuation of light to further enhance the relaxing effect.

Further, during heating, control is performed so that the light color is reddish and the light intensity is fluctuated, and the air conditioner control means controls such that the lower the light intensity, the weaker the air volume of the air conditioner. As a result, the reddish light not only visually enhances the heating sensation, but also adds a fluctuation in the luminous intensity to prevent visual accustomation and gives a feeling of relaxation, and further, it reduces the air volume during the period when the luminous intensity becomes low due to the fluctuation. By slightly weakening it, the temperature of the warm air to the feet of the occupants is raised to compensate for the visual deterioration of the heating sensation, and by adding the fluctuation of the heating sensation of the feet to the fluctuation of light, the relaxation effect can be further enhanced.
