Abstract

A light bulb shaped lamp according to the present invention includes: a hollow globe; an LED module including a base platform and an LED chip mounted on the base platform, the LED module being provided in the globe; a lead wire for supplying power to the LED module; and a stem extending toward the interior of the globe, in which the base platform is directly fixed to the stem.

Claims (52)

1. A light bulb shaped lamp comprising:

a hollow globe;

a light-emitting module including a base platform and a light-emitting device mounted on the base platform, the light-emitting module being provided in the globe;

a lead wire for supplying power to the light-emitting module; and

a stem extending toward the interior of the globe,

wherein the light-emitting module is fixed to a top of the stem, and extends transverse to the stem, first and second end portions of the base platform extending traversely beyond a top of the stem

the stem includes a first engaging part which suppresses rotational movement of the light-emitting module, the first engaging part having an axis in the extending direction of the stem, and

the base platform includes a second engaging part which engages with the first engaging part in the extending direction of the stem.

2. The light bulb shaped lamp according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first engaging part is a projection formed at a top of the stem, and the second engaging part is a through hole or a recess configured to fit into the projection.

3. The light bulb shaped lamp according to claim 2 ,

wherein the projection has a shape of rectangle in top view.

4. The light bulb shaped lamp according to claim 3 ,

wherein the projection has a shape in top view that determines a posture of the light-emitting module to be a predetermined posture.

5. The light bulb shaped lamp according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first engaging part is a plurality of projections formed at a top of the stem, and

the second engaging part is (i) one through hole or recess that engages with the projections or (ii) a plurality of through holes or recesses each corresponding to one of the projections.

6. The light bulb shaped lamp according to claim 5 ,

wherein the projections include a first projection and a second projection having different shapes in top view.

7. The light bulb shaped lamp according to claim 1 ,

wherein the stem comprises a material having a thermal conductivity higher than a thermal conductivity of the base platform.

8. The light bulb shaped lamp according to claim 1 ,

wherein the globe comprises glass transparent to visible light.

9. The light bulb shaped lamp according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a base which receives power for causing the light-emitting device to emit light; and

an insulating case which insulates at least the stem and the base, and houses a lighting circuit for causing the light-emitting device to emit light.

10. A lighting apparatus comprising

the light bulb shaped lamp according to claim 1 .

11. A light bulb shaped lamp comprising:

a hollow globe;

a light-emitting module including a base platform and a light-emitting device mounted on the base platform, the light-emitting module being provided in the globe;

a lead wire for supplying power to the light-emitting module; and

a stem extending from an opening of the globe and into an interior of the globe,

wherein the light-emitting module is fixed to a top of the stem, and extends transverse to the stem, first and second end portions of the base platform extending traversely beyond a top of the stem,

the stem includes a first engaging part which suppresses rotational movement of the light-emitting module, the first engaging part having an axis in the extending direction of the stem, and

the base platform includes a second engaging part which engages with the first engaging part in the extending direction of the stem.

12. A light bulb shaped lamp comprising:

a hollow globe;

a light-emitting module including a base platform and a light-emitting device mounted on the base platform, the light-emitting module being provided in the globe;

a lead wire for supplying power to the light-emitting module; and

a stem extending toward the interior of the globe,

wherein the light-emitting module is fixed to a top of the stem, and the base platform of the light emitting module includes first and second end portions that extend traversely beyond a top of the stem, the lead wire extending to the first and second end portions of the base platform,

the stem includes a first engaging part which suppresses rotational movement of the light-emitting module, the first engaging part having an axis in the extending direction of the stem, and

the base platform includes a second engaging part which engages with the first engaging part in the extending direction of the stem.

13. The light bulb shaped lamp according to claim 1 , the stem comprising a non-hollow member and the lead wire extending externally of the stem.

14. The light bulb shaped lamp according to claim 1 , cooperation of the first engaging part and the second engaging part preventing rotational movement of the light emitting module with respect to the stem.

15. The light bulb shaped lamp according to claim 1 , the first engaging part and the second engaging part suppressing rotational movement of the light emitting module about an axis extending along a longitudinal dimension of the stem.

16. The light bulb shaped lamp according to claim 1 , the stem extending from an opening of the globe and into a central interior portion of the globe.

17. The light bulb shaped lamp according to claim 11 , the first engaging part and the second engaging part each having a non-circular shape in a top view.

18. The light bulb shaped lamp according to claim 12 , the first engaging part and the second engaging part each having a non-circular shape in a top view.

19. The light bulb shaped lamp according to claim 11 , cooperation of the first engaging part and the second engaging part preventing rotational movement of the light emitting module with respect to the stem.

20. The light bulb shaped lamp according to claim 12 , cooperation of the first engaging part and the second engaging part preventing rotational movement of the light emitting module with respect to the stem.
