2. Description of the Related Art In general, it is difficult for human eyes to correctly identify the type of light because of the influence of the surrounding light environment. However, the human eye has a slight color sensation from an object color illuminated by light. You can feel the difference. Also, the energy of light
The distribution has a great effect on human psychology because the appearance of the object color is changed in various ways. Therefore, when considering lighting design, it is important to select a light source appropriate for each space.

[0003] For example, when the user wants to relax comfortably or when a warm atmosphere space is desired, an incandescent light bulb is mainly used for indoor lighting. This incandescent lamp has a spectral energy distribution characteristic as shown in FIG.
Since the red and orange colors are emphasized, a warm atmosphere can be created in the illumination space when used for indoor lighting, and the appearance of the object color is relatively favorable.

However, since this incandescent lamp has low efficiency (brightness with respect to power consumption: Lm / W), a large number of incandescent lamps must be used to obtain a desired illuminance. For this reason, the power consumption increases and the power rate rises. In addition, the cooling effect is hindered in the summer due to the large amount of heat generated by the incandescent bulb, and the cooling capacity of cooling equipment must be increased more than necessary to maintain a certain level of cooling effect. Rather, the electricity cost rises further with the equipment cost.

In view of the above, incandescent fluorescent lamps have been proposed and put into practical use. This incandescent fluorescent lamp is formed, for example, by forming a light emitting layer formed by mixing a plurality of phosphors on the inner surface of a straight tube glass bulb, and has a spectral energy distribution characteristic as shown in FIG. I have. According to this incandescent fluorescent lamp, almost five times the brightness can be obtained with the same power consumption, and since the color temperature is set to 2800K, a warm taste atmosphere is created in the lighting space like the incandescent lamp. be able to. In addition, the efficiency is higher than that of incandescent bulbs and the amount of heat generated is small, so the effect on the cooling capacity of the cooling equipment in the summer can be minimized, and not only the equipment cost but also the electricity rate are reduced. You can do it.

The inventor of the present invention has found that the appearance of the food is not only the chromaticity coordinates described above, but also the light emission peak at 540 nm.
nm emission peak energy ratio (660 / 540n
m) and the energy ratio of the 450 nm emission peak to the 540 nm emission peak (450/540 nm) was found to be closely related. In this regard, the energy ratios (660/540 nm and 450/540 nm) were determined. When the appearance of meat (pork), peppers, and eggplants was observed while changing them in the ranges of 32 to 53% and 2 to 12%, the results shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 were obtained. In the same figure, a circle indicates that the appearance of meat is extremely excellent.
The mark “△” indicates that it is within the practical range, and the mark “X” indicates that it is inferior.

As is apparent from FIG. 3, the appearance of meat and eggplants is such that the energy ratio 660/540 is 39-48%.
The energy ratio of 660/540 is 39 to 51%, which is extremely excellent, but the meat has an energy ratio of 660/540 of 35% and 51%, and the energy ratio of pepper is 32 to 35%. %, 53%, and in eggplant, 32-35%, 51%
% Is practical, but is inferior in other ranges. As can be seen from FIG. 4, the appearance of meat has an energy ratio of 450/540 of 4 to 10%, and the appearance of peppers has an energy ratio of 450/540 of 2 to 10%.
So, the eggplant looks like the energy ratio 450/540 is 4 ~
At 12%, it is very good, but at Pepperman it is 12%,
In eggplant, even 2% can be used practically, but it is inferior in other ranges, and desirable illumination cannot be realized. Therefore, the energy ratios 660/540 and 450/540, together with the chromaticity coordinate values described above, are 34-52% and 4%, respectively.
Must be set in the range of -10%.
