Abstract

Disclosed is a lighting apparatus. The lighting apparatus includes a lighting module to receive therein a lighting part that emits light to an outside and a power control part having a connector; and a communication module extending by passing through the lighting module and detachably coupled to the connector to transfer a control signal received through a wireless network to the power control part.

Claims (27)

1. A lighting apparatus comprising:

a lighting module to receive therein a lighting part that emits light to an outside and a power control part having a connector; and

a communication module passing through the lighting module and detachably coupled to the connector to transfer a control signal received through a wireless network to the power control part;

wherein the lighting module comprises:

a heat sink receiving therein the lighting part and the power control part, and having a first opening part; and

a lens covering the lighting part to protect the lighting part, and having a second opening part;

wherein the lighting part comprises:

a light substrate having a third opening part; and

a light emitting device mounted on the light substrate:

wherein the connector is aligned with the first to third opening parts and exposed to an outside through the first to third opening parts; and

wherein a housing of the communication module is inserted into the connector from the lens through the first to third opening parts.

2. The lighting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the lighting part and the power control part are mounted on both sides of a bottom surface of the heat sink, respectively.

3. The lighting apparatus of claim 2 , wherein a guide member fixes the lighting part to the heat sink.

4. The lighting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the communication module comprises:

the housing provided therein with a space; and

a module substrate which is disposed in the space of the housing and on which a wireless communication chip is mounted.

5. The lighting apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the module substrate comprises:

an antenna part;

a communication module part to receive the control signal from the antenna part and to generate an output signal through the wireless communication chip; and

an interface part having a plurality of pins making contact with the power control part to transmit the output signal.

6. The lighting apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the housing comprises:

a first receiving part to receive the antenna part; and

a second receiving part to receive the communication module part, and

wherein the interface part protrudes out of the housing.

7. The lighting apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the first receiving part protrudes to an outside of the lighting module, and

wherein the second receiving part is disposed in the lighting module.

8. The lighting apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the second receiving part protrudes from a side surface of the first receiving part and is integrated with the first receiving part.
