  • Patent number: 8698290
    Abstract: An LED lamp (A1) includes a plurality of LEDs (2), a retainer (1) on which the light LEDs (2) are mounted, and a wiring pattern formed on the retainer (1) and electrically connected to the LEDs (2). The retainer (1) includes a plurality of substrates (11, 12, 15). Of the plurality of substrates (11, 12, 15), two adjacent substrates (11, 12) are connected to each other by a pair of bendable connection members (32a, 32b). The two substrates (11, 12) are arranged in such a manner that their normal line directions differ from each other.

  • Patent number: 8613525
    Abstract: The present invention provides an LED (Light Emitting Diode) illumination unit, an LED illumination device, and an LED illumination system with better visual effect. The LED illumination unit includes: a substrate, having a carrying surface with an x direction as a length direction and a y direction as a width direction and facing a z direction; a plurality of LED chips, supported by the carrying surface of the substrate; a casing, allowing the light emitted from the LED chips to penetrate and covering the LED chips; and a heat dissipation component, having a pair of outside surfaces being planar, and mounted with the substrate and the casing, wherein the pair of outside surfaces is configured opposite and parallel to each other in the y direction at an interval, and is longer than the substrate in the x direction.
