Abstract

A lighting device including at least one first light source configured to emit a visible light through a first light emitting surface, at least one second light source spaced apart from the first light source and configured to emit light having a wavelength for sterilization through a second light emitting surface, and a hosing having a bottom portion, on which the first and second light sources are disposed, and at least one sidewall portion connected to the bottom portion to enclose the first light source and the second light source in one common area, in which the first and second light emitting surfaces face substantially the same direction, and the first light emitting surface and the second light emitting surface are disposed at a different elevation from the bottom portion of the housing.

Claims (44)

1. A lighting device comprising:

a plurality of first light sources configured to emit a visible light through a first light emitting surface;

at least one second light source spaced apart from the first light source and configured to emit light having a wavelength for sterilization through a second light emitting surface; and

a housing having a bottom portion, on which the first and second light sources are disposed, and at least one sidewall portion connected to the bottom portion to enclose the first light source and the second light source in one common area,

wherein the first and second light emitting surfaces face substantially the same direction,

wherein the first light emitting surface and the second light emitting surface are disposed at a different elevation from the bottom portion of the housing, and

wherein an interval between the second light source and one of the first light sources adjacent to each other is greater than an interval between adjacent first light sources along a longitudinal direction of the housing.

2. The lighting device of claim 1 , further comprising a cover member coupled to the housing.

3. The lighting device of claim 2 , wherein:

the first light source includes a wavelength converting material to emit white light;

the first and second light emitting surfaces are enclosed in an area defined by the housing and the cover member; and

the second light source is exposed from the wavelength converting material.

4. The lighting device of claim 2 , further comprising a first substrate on which the first light source is mounted, and a second substrate on which the second light source is mounted.

5. The lighting device of claim 4 , wherein the first substrate and the second substrate are disposed at a different elevation from the cover member.

6. The lighting device of claim 4 , wherein the first substrate and the second substrate are disposed on different planes from each other.

7. The lighting device of claim 2 , wherein the cover member comprises a diffusion member to diffuse light emitted from the first or second light source.

8. The lighting device of claim 1 , further comprising a first package on which the first light source is mounted, and a second package on which the second light source is mounted.

9. The lighting device of claim 8 , wherein the first package and the second package are disposed at a different elevation.

10. A lighting device comprising:

a plurality of first light sources each comprising at least one first light emitting structure having a first light emitting surface, the first light emitting structure being configured to emit a visible light emitted from the first light emitting structure;

a second light source comprising at least one second light emitting structure having a second light emitting surface, the second light emitting structure being configured to emit light having a wavelength for sterilization through the second light emitting surface;

a housing having a bottom portion, on which the first and second light sources are disposed; and

a cover member coupled to the housing to define an area enclosing at least one of the first and second light sources,

wherein the first light source further comprises a wavelength converting material to emit white light,

wherein light emitted from the second light source is configured to inactivate at least one of Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella Weltevreden, S. Typhumurium, Enterococcus faecalis, Bacillus cereus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Listeria monocytogenes, Yersinia enterocolitica, Clostridium perfringens, Clostridium botulinum, Campylobacter jejuni , and Enterobacter sakazakii,

wherein the first light emitting surface and the second light emitting surface are disposed at a different elevation from the bottom portion of the housing,

wherein the second light emitting surface is exposed from the wavelength converting material, and

wherein an interval between the second light source and one of the first light sources adjacent to each other is different from an interval between adjacent first light sources along a longitudinal direction of the housing.

11. The lighting device of claim 10 , wherein the first light source further comprises a package on which the first light emitting structure and the wavelength converting material are disposed.

12. The lighting device of claim 10 , further comprising a first substrate on which the first light source is mounted, and a second substrate on which the second light source is mounted.

13. The lighting device of claim 12 , the first substrate and the second substrate are spaced apart from each other.

14. The lighting device of claim 12 , the first substrate and the second substrate are integrally formed as one a single member.

15. The lighting device of claim 12 , wherein the first substrate and the second substrate are disposed on different planes from each other.

16. A lighting device comprising:

a plurality of first light sources configured to emit a visible light through a first light emitting surface;

at least one second light source spaced apart from the first light source and configured to emit light having a wavelength for sterilization through a second light emitting surface; and

a housing having a bottom portion, on which the first and second light sources are disposed, and at least one sidewall portion connected to the bottom portion,

wherein a height of an emission point of the first light source from the bottom portion is different from a height of an emission point of the second light source from the bottom portion, and

wherein an interval between the second light source and one of the first light sources adjacent to each other is greater than an interval between adjacent first light sources along a longitudinal direction of the housing.

17. The lighting device of claim 16 , further comprising a substrate on which the first and second light sources are disposed.

18. The lighting device of claim 16 , further comprising a first package on which the first light source is mounted,

wherein the first light source further comprises a light emitting structure and a wavelength converting material to emit white light.

19. The lighting device of claim 16 , further comprising a first package on which the first light source is mounted, and a second package on which the second light source is mounted.

20. The lighting device of claim 19 , wherein the first package and the second package are disposed at a different elevation.
