  • Publication number: 20140218922
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a lighting method for an LED lighting apparatus, in which e.g. an LED for illuminating an edge of a light distribution pattern far away from a street lamp has a relatively larger illumination angle and a smaller radiation angle, and an LED for illuminating the center of a light distribution pattern near the street lamp and an edge of a light distribution pattern adjacent to the street lamp has a relatively smaller illumination angle and a smaller radiation angle. Thus, each LED illuminates different areas of the road, thereby ensuring the uniformity of illumination of an overall light distribution pattern.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a LED bulb comprises a bulb body, a bulb cap and an angle adjusting means. The angle adjusting means includes a first ratchet member fixed to the bulb and a second ratchet member fixed to the bulb cap. The first ratchet member and the second ratchet member are rotatable on a rotation axis, and the first ratchet member and the second ratchet member are engaged with each other at an adjusted position angle to emit the light in an emitting direction from the emitting plane with respect to the bulb cap. Accordingly, it provides an adjustable connecting angle between the bulb body and the bulb cap to thus adjust the emitting plane of the bulb body to a desired direction to overcome the problems in the conventional art.
