Abstract

A lighting apparatus includes a carrier, a first light-emitting element, and a cover body. The carrier has a top surface. The first light-emitting element is formed on the top surface. The cover body covers the carrier and exposes the first light-emitting element. The lighting apparatus has a luminous flux greater than 350 lumens.

Claims (32)

1. A lighting apparatus, comprising:

a carrier having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface;

a first light-emitting element formed on the first surface;

a second light-emitting element formed on the second surface;

a cover element formed on the first light-emitting element and having a hole to expose the first light-emitting element; and

a cover body covering the carrier and exposing the first light-emitting element and the second light-emitting element and having openings to expose the first light-emitting element and the second light-emitting element.

2. The lighting apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the lighting apparatus consumes a power ranging between 1˜5 Watt.

3. The lighting apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the carrier has an average temperature less than 120° C.

4. The lighting apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the second light-emitting element is formed on the second surface at a position overlapping with the first light-emitting element.

5. The lighting apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the second light-emitting element is connected to the first light-emitting element in parallel.

6. The lighting apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the cover body comprises a recess where the first light-emitting element is located in.

7. The lighting apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a support body having a bottom part and a side part, wherein the first light-emitting element comprises a plurality of light-emitting units formed on the bottom part.

8. The lighting apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a center point of the carrier, a virtual circle with a center positioned at the center point, and a luminous intensity distributed on the virtual circle, wherein the luminous intensity is between 0˜2 cd.

9. A lighting apparatus, comprising:

a carrier having a top surface;

a light-emitting element, formed on the top surface, comprising:

a support body having a bottom surface and defining an inner space;

a light-emitting unit disposed in the inner space; and

a conductive structure connected to the light-emitting unit and having a surface coplanar to the bottom surface;

a cover element formed on the light-emitting element; and

a cover body covering the cover element and the carrier, and exposing the first light-emitting element.

10. The lighting apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the cover element has a first end connected to the light-emitting element and a second end being coplanar with the top surface.

11. The lighting apparatus according to claim 9 , further comprising a filler filled in the inner space.

12. The lighting apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the cover element has a hole with a size smaller than the filler.

13. The lighting apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the filler comprises phosphor particles, diffusing particles or both.

14. The lighting apparatus according to claim 9 , further comprising a heat dissipating portion having a surface coplanar with the bottom surface.

15. The lighting apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first light-emitting element and the second light-emitting element have at least one different characteristic.

16. The lighting apparatus according to claim 15 , wherein the characteristic comprises size, color, light-emitting angle, or CRI.

17. The lighting apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising an electrical connector formed on the carrier and covered by the cover body.

18. The lighting apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first light-emitting element comprises a light-emitting unit and a filler covering the light-emitting unit.

19. The lighting apparatus according to claim 18 , wherein the cover body has a highest point and the filler does not exceed the highest point.

20. The lighting apparatus according to claim 18 , wherein the filler is exposed from the cover body.
