  • Patent number: 8833977
    Abstract: A lighting apparatus is disclosed. The lighting apparatus may be an omni-directional LED light source. The lighting apparatus may include a heat sink and at least one LED module provided on the heat sink. The LED module may be mounted on a mounting block that protrudes a prescribed height over the heat sink. A first reflector may be provided over the heat sink and below the LED module, and a second reflector may be provided over the LED module. An upper surface of the first reflector may be sloped at a first prescribed angle with respect to a central vertical axis of the heat sink, and a bottom surface of the second reflector may be sloped at a second prescribed angle with respect to the central vertical axis of the heat sink. The first and second reflectors reflect light emitted from the LEDs to produce omni-directional light patterns.

  • Patent number: 8807792
    Abstract: A lighting apparatus is disclosed. The disclosed lighting apparatus omni-directionally radiates light emitted from a light emitting diode (LED) in a uniform light intensity. The lighting apparatus may include at least one LED and a reflector to reflect light emitted from the at least one LED. The reflector may include openings that are positioned to correspond to a position of a respective LED. The LED may emit light in a first direction and the reflector may reflect the light in a second direction such that a difference in light intensity at any angle within a first range between 0° to 135° with respect to the first direction is less than or equal 20% of an average light intensity of the entire range, and a light flux within a second range between 135° to 180° is greater than or equal to 5% of the total flux.
