  • Publication number: 20140347841
    Abstract: A lighting apparatus including a base, a light cover, an optical element, and at least a light emitting element is provided. The light cover having a first opening is disposed on the base and together with the base forms a space. The optical element is fixed on the light cover and substantially covers the first opening of the light cover. The light emitting element is disposed in the space. A light emitted by the light emitting element passes through the optical element and emits from the light cover to form an illumination property of the lighting apparatus, wherein the light cover together with the optical element is movable with respect to the light emitting element. When the light cover and the optical element have different relative positions with respect to the light emitting element, the illumination properties are different.

  • Publication number: 20130107517
    Abstract: A Light Emitting Diode (LED) bulb includes a circuit board assembly, a base, a first LED light source module and a second LED light source module disposed on two opposite surfaces of the circuit board assembly, and a shell. The base includes a reflective surface. After passing through the shell, a first light beam emitted by the first LED light source module and a direct light beam emitted by the second LED light source module respectively form a first light distribution pattern and a third light distribution pattern. After being reflected by the reflective surface and emitted from the shell, a reflected light beam emitted by the second LED light source module forms a second light distribution pattern. The first light distribution pattern, the second light distribution pattern, and the third light distribution pattern superpose to each other to form an omni-directional light distribution pattern.

  • Publication number: 20120307495
    Abstract: An optical lens includes a incident curved surface, a cone-shaped body, and a emitting curved surface. Light emitted from a light emitting diode (LED) has a first refraction angle on a first plane and a second refraction angle on a second plane after passing through the incident curved surface, the cone-shaped body, and the emitting curved surface. The first refraction angle is between 105 degrees and 145 degrees, and the second refraction angle is between 38 degrees and 65 degrees. The light is asymmetrically distributed on the second plane. Therefore, when the optical lens is applied to a street lamp, the light utilization on a road side may be increased.
