  • Publication number: 20150023014
    Abstract: A lamp includes a base configured by a case and a heat discharging board, a supporting member disposed upright on the base, a light-transmitting substrate mounted on the supporting member, and light-emitting units mounted on the light-transmitting substrate. The supporting member includes a stand part, a rod-shaped leg part disposed upright thereon, and a head part positioned on top of the leg part. The head part has an upper surface and a side surface which is a continuation thereof. In planar view in a downwards direction, the light emitting units are positioned on a section of the light-transmitting substrate that extends beyond the upper surface. The side surface includes an inclined face that is light reflective and inclined relative to the upper surface, forming an obtuse dihedral angle therebetween.
