PACKING MEMBER

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide packing members simple in structure, inexpensive in cost and capable of saving resources. SOLUTION: Lighting fixtures 1, 4 to be packed, are covered in advance with a thin film-like sheet or the like to prevent intrusion of dust and infiltration of water droplets. Each lighting fixture 1 and 4 is superposed on each other in such a state that their upper and lower parts are reversed respectively or, in other words, their irradiation surfaces 1x, 4x are kept in such a state as to form upper and lower faces of a packaging as a whole. A first packing member 2 and a second packing member 3, both being formed into a substantially U shape, are arranged between the two lighting fixtures thus superposed on each other. The first and second packing members 2, 3 are brought into close contact with inner faces of picture frame-like portions formed on top plates of the lighting fixtures 1, 4 and are erected in a space between the picture frame-like portions. Since each packing member has reinforcing portions which are provided in a longitudinal direction, longitudinal compressive strength is increased.
