  • Publication number: 20110075427
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a lighting apparatus includes a main body including a flat thermal conduction surface. The thermal conduction surface contacts a back surface of a board. Light-emitting devices are mounted on a front surface of the board. An optical member is opposed to a peripheral part of the board on the front surface side of the board. The optical member is fastened to the main body by fastening members, to push the peripheral part of the board against the heat conduction surface of the main body.

  • Publication number: 20100118548
    Abstract: An illumination device is provided with: a light source part 40 having an LED 20 of a light source and a reflector 30 including a first reflection surface 33 which has a concavely curved cross section from one end to the other end and is formed so as to dispose the light source within this curved cross section and a second reflection surface 32 closing the curved cross section on the one end side; and a device main body 10 including a top panel 11, an attachment part which is provided on a lower surface side of the top panel 11 and attaches the light source part 40 so as to make one end of the light source part 40 be positioned on the top plate 11 side, and a side wall part 12 which is disposed downward from the top panel 11 and has a lower end edge part 12a provided below a straight line extending from the other end side of the LED 20 being the light source through a top end of the second reflection surface 32.

  • Publication number: 20100038657
    Abstract: A lighting apparatus is provided with a plurality of light-emitting devices, a substrate, a blind member, and a reflector. The reflector is formed with a plurality of reflective surfaces corresponding to the light-emitting devices, individually. The shielding angle at which light emitted from that one of the light-emitting devices which is located on the outermost periphery is intercepted by the reflective surface corresponding to the outermost light-emitting device is greater than shielding angles at which light emitted from the light-emitting devices located inside the outermost light-emitting device is intercepted by the reflective surfaces corresponding to the inside light-emitting devices.

  • Publication number: 20090303715
    Abstract: A light source module has a reflector having a light reflection face and a plurality of light emitting elements. The light reflection face is curved in a circular arc shape in a width direction of the reflector and extends in a longitudinal direction of the reflector. The light emitting elements are arranged in a center portion in the width direction of the light reflection face and are arranged linearly along the longitudinal direction of the reflector.
