Abstract: The present invention provides a light emitting diode LED recessed lighting lamp. The lamp includes a base with a LED assembly surface and a circumferential assembly stop flange shaped around the base for mating with the LED assembly surface. The LED assembly surface is provided with a circuit hole. There is an LED assembly, containing a printed circuit board PCB, a plurality of LED units and electric wire. The back of PCB is assembled securely onto the LED assembly surface of the base. The electric wire penetrates the circuit hole of the LED assembly surface and extends towards the second end of the base. A diffuser externally covers onto the LED assembly surface of the base. A heat-radiating base contains a heat-radiating portion with expanded area. There is an assembly locating member, assembled laterally on the second end of the base.
