Abstract

The present invention relates to an LED lighting apparatus. The LED lighting apparatus includes: a power source housing provided with a power supply unit therein and having a plurality of connection parts disposed on a bottom surface thereof; a ring-shaped frame on which a connection frame coupled to the connection parts of the power source housing is disposed, with the ring-shaped frame accommodating a transmission line through which power from the power supply unit is supplied; and a plurality of lighting part housings coupled to a lower portion of the frame to receive the power through the transmission line, thereby applying the power to the accommodated LED to emit light. Thus, the lighting part housings of the LED lighting apparatus may be changed in quantity and position to vary light distribution and luminance.

Claims (27)

1. An LED lighting apparatus comprising:

a power source housing having a power supply therein, a plurality of connectors on a lower surface thereof and heat radiating fins that radially extend from an upper central surface of the power source having a plurality of heat reading fins housing;

an annular frame having a connecting frame coupled to the connectors of the power source housing and in which a transmission line for supplying electric power of the power supply is accommodated; and

a plurality of illumination unit housings coupled to a lower portion of the frame to receive electric power through the transmission line for applying the electric power to an accommodating LED to emit light,

wherein the annular frame include a coupling unit coupled to the plurality of illumination unit housings, and

wherein an inner diameter of the annular frame is provided to be larger than an outer diameter of the power source housing, the annular frame is arranged between the power source housing and the illumination unit housing and spaced apart from the power source housing and the illumination unit housing to each other.

2. The LED lighting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the power source housing has a space for accommodating the power supply therein, and

wherein a vertical through-hole for extending the transmission line of the power supply to an inside of the frame through the connecting frame is provided inside each of the plurality of connectors.

3. The LED lighting apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the frame comprises:

an annular frame body, an upper side of which is opened and a portion of the transmission line is accommodated;

the coupling unit provided on a bottom surface of the frame body and to which the illumination unit housing is coupled; and

a socket provided on a bottom surface of the coupling unit.

4. The LED lighting apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the illumination unit housing has:

a body, an inner surface of which is a reflective surface;

an insulating plate located on an upper surface of the body;

a power source terminal passing through the insulating plate and inserted into the socket to receive electric power; and

a substrate for receiving electric power through the power source terminal and supplying the electric power to the mounted LED.

5. The LED lighting apparatus of claim 4 , wherein, in the body of the illumination housing, a plurality of heat radiating fins are vertically formed on a side surface thereof, and a diameter thereof is larger than a width of the frame.

6. The LED lighting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the frame comprises:

an annular frame body, an upper side of which is opened and a portion of the transmission line is accommodated;

the coupling unit provided on a bottom surface of the frame body and to which the illumination unit housing is coupled; and the socket is provided on a bottom surface of the coupling unit.

7. The LED lighting apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the illumination unit housing has:

a body, an inner surface of which is a reflective surface;

an insulating plate located on an upper surface of the body;

a power source terminal passing through the insulating plate and inserted into the socket to receive electric power; and

a substrate for receiving electric power through the power source terminal and supplying the electric power to the mounted LED.

8. The LED lighting apparatus of claim 6 , wherein, in the body of the illumination housing, a plurality of heat radiating fins are vertically formed on a side surface thereof, and a diameter thereof is larger than a width of the frame.
