Abstract

A light source may comprise a thermally conductive frame comprising a base and a faceted portion extending from the base. The faceted portion may comprise a plurality of facets spaced circumferentially thereabout. Additionally, a hollow passageway may extend through the base and axially through the faceted portion. A plurality of LED chips may be arranged on the plurality of facets to provide an emission of light in an arc of 360 degrees.

Claims (16)

1. A lighting device comprising:

a body;

a first LED chip disposed on the body;

a second LED chip disposed on the body; and

an electrode having a first part disposed above the first LED chip and the second LED chip, and a second part downwardly extending from the first part to an elevation lower than the first LED chip and the second LED chip.

2. The lighting device of claim 1 , wherein the first LED chip and the second LED chip are electrically connected with each other in parallel.

3. The lighting device of claim 1 , wherein the first LED chip or the second LED chip is electrically connected to the first part by a wire.

4. The lighting device of claim 1 , wherein the second part is arranged between the first LED chip and the second LED chip.

5. The lighting device of claim 1 , further comprising a light covering layer coated on the first LED chip, the second LED chip or both.

6. The lighting device of claim 1 , further comprising a cap covering the first LED chip and the second LED chip.

7. The lighting device of claim 1 , further comprising a screw thread coupled to the body.

8. The lighting device of claim 1 , further comprising a base connected to the body.

9. The lighting device of claim 8 , wherein the base has a top surface and a bottom surface, and the second part of the electrode extends to an elevation lower than the top surface.

10. The lighting device of claim 8 , wherein the base has a top surface and a bottom surface, and the second part of the electrode extends to an elevation higher than the bottom surface.

11. The lighting device of claim 1 , wherein the body is made of a heat conducting material.

12. The lighting device of claim 1 , further comprising an optic lens covering the body, the first LED chip and the second LED chip.
