Abstract

A lighting equipment comprises: an LED light emitting device; a heat sink connected to the LED light emitting device; and a light collecting member configured to control a light distribution of the LED light emitting device to a range that is narrower than that of the light distribution of the LED light emitting device, wherein the heat sink comprises: a bottom plate; and a plurality of pillar-shaped or flat plate-shaped heat conductive members connected to the bottom plate at one of ends thereof, the LED light emitting device is located at a central area of the bottom plate, and when assuming a maximum thickness of the central area of the bottom plate is tc, and a minimum thickness of an outer circumferential area of the bottom plate is te, tc/te≥1.2 is satisfied.

Claims (41)

1 . A lighting equipment comprising:

an LED light emitting device;

a heat sink connected to the LED light emitting device; and

a light collecting member configured to control a light distribution of the LED light emitting device to a range that is narrower than that of the light distribution of the LED light emitting device,

wherein the heat sink comprises:

a bottom plate; and

a plurality of pillar-shaped or flat plate-shaped heat conductive members connected to the bottom plate at one of ends thereof,

wherein the LED light emitting device is located at a central area of the bottom plate, and

wherein when assuming a maximum thickness of the central area of the bottom plate is tc, and a minimum thickness of an outer circumferential area of the bottom plate is te, tc/te≥1.2 is satisfied.

2 . The lighting equipment according to claim 1 ,

wherein a surface of the bottom plate to which the heat conductive members are connected is a flat surface or a convex surface.

3 . The lighting equipment according to claim 1 ,

wherein a total sum of inclinations of minute sections from an outer circumferential edge portion towards a central portion on an LED light emitting device located surface and/or an opposite surface to the LED light emitting device located surface in a cross section of the bottom plate, is positive.

4 . The lighting equipment according to claim 1 ,

wherein a void space existing in an interior of the bottom plate is 30% or smaller.

5 . The lighting equipment according to claim 1 ,

wherein when assuming that a maximum height of the pillar-shaped or flat plate-shaped heat conductive members from the LED light emitting device located surface of the bottom plate is hp, hp/tc≥1.2 is satisfied.

6 . The lighting equipment according to claim 1 ,

wherein the plurality of pillar-shaped or flat plate-shaped heat conductive members have a substantially cylindrical external appearance.

7 . The lighting equipment according to claim 1 ,

wherein a maximum temperature area resulting from a heat generation of the LED light emitting device exists within a central area of the bottom plate.

8 . The lighting equipment according to claim 1 ,

wherein a heat conductivity of the heat sink ranges from 20 W/(m·k) to 400 W/(m·k).

9 . The lighting equipment according to claim 1 ,

wherein a material of the heat sink is a metal, or boron nitride.

10 . The lighting equipment according to claim 1 ,

wherein when assuming that a diagonal maximum length of the LED light emitting device is L E , and a diagonal maximum length of the bottom plate is L B , L E /L B is 0.7 or smaller.

11 . The lighting equipment according to claim 1 ,

wherein the diagonal maximum length L B of the bottom plate is 40 mm or greater.

12 . The lighting equipment according to claim 1 ,

wherein a shape of a cross section of the bottom plate including a central portion thereof is any one selected from a group of shapes including a pentagonal shape, a polygonal shape and a convex curve.

13 . The lighting equipment according to claim 1 ,

wherein the LED light emitting device is a COB type light emitting device.

14 . The lighting equipment according to claim 1 ,

wherein the light collecting member is a reflector or a lens.

15 . The lighting equipment according to claim 14 ,

wherein the reflector has a shape of parabolic rotating body.

16 . The lighting equipment according to claim 15 ,

wherein the LED light emitting device is located in a focal position of the reflector having a shape of parabolic rotating body.

17 . The lighting equipment according to claim 15 ,

wherein when assuming that a maximum diameter of a light emitting portion of the LED light emitting device is W, a light emitting center of the LED light emitting device exists within a range of a spherical body whose radius is 5 W from the focal position of the reflector having a shape of parabolic rotating body.
