Abstract: The light emitting module includes a light source unit and a base plate where the light source unit is detachably mounted. The light source unit has an installation mechanism for installation to the base plate, and the base plate has an installation mechanism counterpart engaged with the installation mechanism. In addition, the light emitting module has a hook mechanism that catches the light source unit and the base plate when the installation mechanism and the installation mechanism counterpart are not engaged with each other. The hook mechanism is contained within a thickness of the light source unit when the light source unit is mounted to the base plate. In this configuration, it is possible to prevent the light source unit from dropping from the base plate using the hook mechanism even when engagement between the installation mechanism and the installation mechanism counterpart is released.

Abstract: An LED unit (100) includes a base unit (1). The LED unit further includes a light emitting device (3) including: a package substrate (3b); and a light emitting portion (3a) provided in the package substrate and having LED chips, the light emitting device being placed on a front surface of the base unit. The base unit is formed of a molding in which a metal member (11) is covered with thermally conductive resin having an electrical insulation property, and the thermally conductive resin is interposed between the light emitting device and the metal member. The LED unit can thus efficiently radiate heat generated in the light emitting device through the base unit toward a fixture to which the LED unit is attached.
