Abstract

This disclosure discloses an illumination apparatus. The illumination apparatus comprises a cover comprising a second portion and a first portion, and a light source disposed within the cover. An average thickness of the first portion is greater than that of the second portion.

Claims (20)

1. An illumination apparatus comprising:

an outer cover comprising an inner surface and a plurality of diffuser particles of a first concentration;

a light source comprising a lateral surface, an upper surface, and a bottom surface;

a transparent inner cover arranged to space apart from the outer cover and dispose on the lateral surface and the upper surface, and comprising a plurality of diffuser particles of a second concentration which is different from the first concentration;

a wavelength converter disposed on the light source and spatially isolated from the outer cover; and

a reflective layer, separated from the transparent inner cover, directly formed on the inner surface, and only covering the upper surface in a configuration of being arranged only above the upper surface and beneath the outer cover.

2. The illumination apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the transparent inner cover has an upper surface which is convex.

3. The illumination apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the wavelength converter is arranged between the light source and the transparent inner cover.

4. The illumination apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the wavelength converter is arranged on the transparent inner cover.

5. The illumination apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the transparent inner cover is formed in a trapezoidal shape with a wider top surface.

6. The illumination apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the transparent inner cover has a slanted sidewall.

7. The illumination apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the outer cover surrounds the transparent inner cover and the light source substantially in a symmetrical configuration.

8. The illumination apparatus of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of diffuser particles comprises a material of TiO2, SiO2, or air.

9. The illumination apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the outer cover comprises a material of polymer or glass.

10. The illumination apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a chamber arranged between the light source and the transparent inner cover.

11. The illumination apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the transparent inner cover has a non-flat upper surface.

12. The illumination apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a heatsink disposed on the bottom surface of the light source.

13. The illumination apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the heatsink is wider than the light source.

14. The illumination apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the heatsink is wider than the transparent inner cover.

15. The illumination apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the reflective layer is wider than the upper surface.
