  Further, in the bathroom wall panel 1, a horizontally long rectangular opening 8 is formed in the surface material 3 at the upper portion, and a substantially rectangular parallelepiped lighting box 9 is disposed inside the opening 8. Between the outer periphery of the lighting box 9 and the inner periphery of the opening 8, a filler such as rubber packing is disposed so that water and moisture do not enter the body side of the bathroom A, and finishing with a caulking agent is performed. And so on. In the bathroom wall panel 1, the lighting box 9 is arranged so that one end portion on the surface material 3 side slightly protrudes from the surface 2 of the surface material 3, and the other end portion on the panel body 4 side extends from the panel body 4. It is arranged to protrude.

  The lighting box 9 includes a substantially rectangular parallelepiped hollow box cover 10 on the surface material 3 side of the bathroom wall panel 1. In the box cover 10, an end located on the side opposite to the surface material 3 is opened to be an open end 11. A flange 12 is formed on the outer periphery of the open end 11 so as to protrude in a direction substantially perpendicular to the open end 11.

  The lighting box 9 includes a box body 13 that is disposed to face the box cover 10. The box body 13 is also hollow and has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, and the box cover 10 has a shape corresponding to the box body 13. An end of the box body 13 on the side of the box cover 10 is opened to be an open end 14. A receptacle 15 having a substantially U-shaped cross section is formed on the outer periphery of the open end 14.
