  • Patent number: 8393757
    Abstract: Provided is a light-bulb type LED lamp 10 including a plurality of LEDs 67-78, a base 12, a lighting circuit unit that converts commercial power provided through the base 12 into power for lighting the LEDs 67-78, and a heat radiation member 16 that includes a bowl-shaped portion 42. Two stages 46 and 48, extending inwards from an inner circumferential surface 44 of the bowl-shaped portion 42, are provided in a direction of a central axis X of the bowl-shaped portion 42. The LEDs 67-78 are mounted on the stages 46 and 48 in a circumferential direction around the central axis X.

  • Publication number: 20120063146
    Abstract: In a spot light source 1 including a case 11, a heat radiator 12 and a light-emitter 18, the heat radiator 12 is formed to have a bowl shape including a bottom portion 12a and a side wall portion 12b extending from the peripheral edge of the bottom portion 12a, and the side wall portion 12b is made of light-transmissive ceramic. Light emitted by an LED element 18b of the light-emitter 18 is guided to the side wall portion 12b by a lens 18d so as to generate a leak light traveling sideways from the spot light source 1, which produces highly decorative effect.
