  • Publication number: 20110309379
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a light-emitting device includes a substrate, a plurality of light-emitting elements and a sealing resin. The substrate is formed in a substantially rectangular shape. The plurality of light-emitting elements forms a plurality of rows by being arranged in a direction perpendicular to a longer dimension of the substrate. The rows are arranged in a longer direction of the substrate with a gap provided therebetween. The gap is set between the rows such that illumination intensity is evenly produced. The sealing resin coves each of the rows of the light-emitting elements.

  • Publication number: 20110222264
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a light emitting device which is attached to an illumination apparatus and radiates light having a correlated color temperature of 2900 to 3600K is provided. The light emitting device includes a substrate, blue light emitting LED elements and red light emitting LED elements mounted on the substrate, and a wavelength converting unit. The red light emitting LED elements have a luminous intensity of 0.2 to 2.5 times as large as that of the blue light emitting LED elements at normal use temperature in a state where the light emitting device is attached to the illumination apparatus. The wavelength converting unit is excited by light emitted from the blue light emitting LED elements and converts the light to light having a peak wavelength within a range of 500 to 600 nm.

  • Publication number: 20100277083
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a lighting device includes a device board, a rectification device connected to a commercial power supply, a series LED circuit, and a transistor (current limiter) which limits a maximum current flowing through the series LED circuit. The series circuit mounted on the device board is configured by connecting in series a plurality of LED elements. Each of the LED elements lights when an output voltage of the rectification device is applied to the series circuit. A number of LED elements included in the series circuit is set in a manner that a voltage applied to the series LED circuit is 70 to 90% of the output voltage of the rectification device.
