Abstract

A lamp for receiving at least one light emitting diode as a light-emitting means, having a bottom part as a supporting element and for feeding the electric connecting wires to a mounting device carrying the at least one light emitting diode, and having a lamp shade. The mounting device is a separate mounting substrate having a breaking strength between 100 and 1,000 MPa and is arranged on the bottom of the device.

Claims (27)

1. A lamp comprising:

a bottom part that is a supporting element and through which electrical connecting wires can be fed to a mounting device supporting a light emitting diode; and

a lamp shield;

wherein the mounting device comprises a separate mounting substrate is situated on the bottom part;

and wherein the separate mounting substrate has a breaking strength between 100 and 1000 MPa;

and wherein the separate mounting substrate comprises a material having a thermal conductivity between 10 and 250 W/m° K.

2. A lamp according to claim 1 , wherein the separate mounting substrate is made of a ceramic.

3. A lamp according to claim 2 , further comprising sintered metal-plated areas on the separate mounting substrate for soldering-on of the light emitting diode.

4. A lamp according to claim 1 , wherein the lamp is a modular design comprising the a bottom part, the separate mounting substrate, and the lamp shield.

5. A lamp according to claim 1 , wherein the bottom part is cylindrical, and has an inner cavity and two end faces,

wherein the first end face is closed and has passages or connecting elements for the connecting wires,

and wherein the second end face is closed off by the separate mounting substrate.

6. A lamp according to claim 1 , wherein an outer upper end of the bottom part facing the separate mounting substrate has a radially projecting shoulder on which the lamp shield rests, and which encircles the outer upper end of the bottom part.

7. A lamp according to claim 1 , wherein the separate mounting substrate has a radial indentation at its outer periphery on which a shoulder of the lamp shield rests, and which encircles the separate mounting substrate.

8. A lamp according to claim 1 , wherein the separate mounting substrate is connected to the lamp via a screw connection, adhesive bonding, or a bayonet lock.

9. A lamp according to claim 1 , wherein the mounting substrate is connected to the lamp via at least one connector selected from mechanical connectors and chemical connectors.

10. A lamp according to claim 1 , wherein the lamp shield completely encloses the mounting substrate so that it is not visible from the outside.

11. A lamp according to claim 1 , wherein the mounting substrate is made of highly thermally conductive aluminum nitride.

12. A lamp according to claim 1 , wherein the lamp shield is made of ruby-colored aluminum oxide having chromium oxide doping.

13. A lamp according to claim 1 , wherein all or some of the ceramic parts of the lamp are made of aluminum oxide, containing glass or pure.

14. The lamp according to claim 13 , wherein the ceramic parts of the lamp contain additives.

15. The lamp according to claim 14 , wherein the additives are selected from the group consisting of Cr 2 O 3 having a thermal conductivity of 20 to 40 W/m° K and aluminum nitride having a thermal conductivity of 160 to 200 W/m° K.

16. A lamp according to claim 1 , wherein all or some of the ceramic parts of the lamp are made of transparent or translucent ceramic.

17. A lamp according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting wires are guided through the cavity in the bottom part to the mounting substrate and are electrically connected to the mounting substrate.

18. A lamp according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting wires are guided through the cavity in the bottom part to the mounting substrate and are electrically connected to the light emitting diode.

19. The lamp according to claim 9 , wherein the connector is selected from the group consisting of an adhesive, an active soldering, a glass soldering, a metal plating and soldering.

20. A mounting substrate for a lamp according to claim 1 .
