Patent number: 8664857Abstract: A lighting device may include a substrate attached to one edge side of a radiator and a cover may be attached to cover the substrate. Heat-radiating fins may be provided on the other edge side of the radiator and an air-cooling unit may be rotatably provided inside the heat-radiating fins, thereby enabling freely rotation. In one or more examples, a case storing a circuit part is attached to the other edge side of the radiator and a cap is provided to the case. By the air flow from the air-cooling unit, the heat-radiating fins are caused to be a part of the ventilation path to allow for ventilation of the inside of the radiator.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2012Date of Patent: March 4, 2014Assignee: Toshiba Lighting & Technology CorporationInventors: Nobuhiko Betsuda, Takumi Suwa, Hitoshi Kawano, Akiko Saito, Makoto Bessho, Yusuke Shibahara, Hiroki Tamai, Nobuo Shibano, Keiichi Shimizu
