Abstract

The present invention provides a lamp capable of preventing snow accretion and freezing of melted snow. The lamp is a lamp ( 10 ) including an LED module ( 11 ) serving as a light source, a light distribution unit ( 12 ), a conductive film heater ( 13 ), a casing ( 14 ), and a light transmissive cover ( 16 ). The LED module ( 11 ) includes a plurality of LEDs and an LED substrate on which the plurality of LEDs are mounted. The LED module ( 11 ), the light distribution unit ( 12 ), and the conductive film heater ( 13 ) are disposed in the casing ( 14 ). The light distribution unit ( 12 ) is disposed on a light emitting side of the LED module ( 11 ). The light transmissive cover ( 16 ) is disposed over the opening of the casing ( 14 ). The conductive film heater ( 13 ) is disposed on a surface of the light transmissive cover ( 16 ) on an inner side of the casing ( 14 ).

Claims (22)

1. A lamp comprising:

an LED module serving as a light source;

a light distribution unit;

a conductive film heater;

a casing comprising an opening; and

a single light transmissive cover, wherein

a brightness of the light source is switchable among three levels including a high level, a middle level, and a low level,

the LED module comprises a plurality of LEDs and an LED substrate on which the plurality of LEDs are mounted,

the LED module, the light distribution unit, and the conductive film heater are disposed in the casing,

the light distribution unit comprises at least one of a reflector or a lens disposed on a light emitting side of the LED module,

the light transmissive cover is disposed over the opening of the casing,

the light transmissive cover includes an antireflection film on each of both surfaces of the light transmissive cover,

the conductive film heater is a transparent conductive film and, an electrode is disposed on an outer periphery of the conductive film heater,

the conductive film heater is disposed on a surface of the light transmissive cover on an inner side of the casing, and is directly formed in a region including a center of the light transmissive cover in a plane direction in a light transmission region, and

the light transmission region is a region through which light passes in a space between the LED module and the light transmissive cover.

2. The lamp according to claim 1 , wherein the conductive film heater is an ITO conductive film.

3. The lamp according to claim 1 , wherein

the reflector has a tubular shape,

the LED module is disposed at an opening of the reflector on the light source side, and

an LED-mounting surface of the LED substrate faces an opening of the reflector on a light emitting side.

4. The lamp according to claim 1 , for use in an aircraft landing guidance flash device.

5. The lamp according to claim 1 , wherein the light source flashes 120 times per minute.
