  • Publication number: 20100289396
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an LED bulb in which temperature of a lighting circuit is suppressed from rising during lighting of an LED so that life time of the lighting circuit is maintained without increasing manufacturing cost of components. According to the invention, an LED module 11 having multiple LEDs surface-mounted thereon is mounted in a heat dissipating unit 12. Heat generated by the LEDs is dissipated through multiple heat dissipating fins 18 of the heat dissipating unit 12. A glove 14, covering the LED module 11, radiates outward radiant light from the LEDs. A lighting circuit 17 for lighting the LEDs is incorporated in an inner hollow portion 23 of a cap 16 arranged on a side opposite to the glove 14 of the heat dissipating unit 12. Accordingly, the heat generated by the LEDs of the LED module 11 is mostly dissipated by the heat dissipating unit 12, thereby suppressing the temperature of the lighting circuit from rising.

  • Publication number: 20100026157
    Abstract: A plurality of LEDs are provided to an outer edge side of a center position of one main surface of an LED substrate main body in a deviated manner respectively. The wiring part including the connector receiving part and the wiring hole are provided at a position that overlaps the center position of the one main surface side of the LED substrate main body. Since the power feeding part is inserted into the wiring hole, the connection part and the connector receiving part can be easily connected and therefore it becomes possible to ensure ease in assembly. Since the connector receiving part is kept away from each of the LEDs with substantially equal distance so that emitted light is hardly blocked, decrease in uniformity of light distribution can be suppressed.
