Abstract

A lighting device includes a light source unit having a substrate and a light emitting diode disposed on the substrate, a heat sink having an inner surface on which the light source unit is disposed and at least one opening, and a top plate being disposed on the heat sink and having a reflective surface which reflects light from the light source unit in a particular direction.

Claims (36)

1. A lighting device comprising:

a light source unit including a substrate and a light emitting diode disposed on the substrate;

a heat sink including an inner surface on which the light source unit is disposed and at least one opening; a top plate being disposed on the heat sink and including a reflective surface which reflects light from the light source unit in a particular direction; and

a bottom plate disposed under the heat sink;

wherein the bottom plate comprises an inclined surface for reflecting light incident from the light source unit to the reflective surface of the top plate wherein the at least one opening of the heat sink comprises an upper opening and a lower opening, the top plate is disposed on the upper opening, the bottom plate is disposed under the lower opening, and the bottom plate further comprises a light emitting opening through which the light reflected by the reflective surface of the top plate passes and an edge defining the light emitting opening.

2. The lighting device of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of the light source units are provided, and wherein the plurality of the light source units are disposed separately from each other on the inner surface of the heat sink.

3. The lighting device of claim 1 , wherein the inner surface of the heat sink comprises a seating recess on which the substrate is disposed.

4. The lighting device of claim 3 , wherein the inner surface of the heat sink is curved and a bottom surface of the seating recess is flat.

5. The lighting device of claim 1 , further comprising a heat sink plate disposed between one side of the substrate and the inner surface of the heat sink.

6. The lighting device of claim 1 , wherein the heat sink has a cylindrical shape having the inner surface and an outer surface, and wherein a plurality of heat radiating fins are disposed on the outer surface of the heat sink.

7. The lighting device of claim 1 , comprising an optical body which is disposed between the heat sink and the reflective surface of the top plate and excites, diffuses or collects light from the light source unit.

8. The lighting device of claim 7 , wherein the bottom plate comprises a fixing recess receiving one end of the optical body.

9. The lighting device of claim 1 , wherein the reflective surface of the top plate has a conical shape.

10. The lighting device of claim 1 , wherein the edge of the bottom plate is disposed between a lowest portion of the reflective surface and the light emitting diode.

11. The lighting device of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of the inclined surfaces are provided, and wherein the plurality of the inclined surfaces have mutually different inclinations.

12. The lighting device of claim 1 , further comprising a lens disposed on the light emitting opening of the bottom plate.

13. A lighting device comprising:

a light source unit comprising a substrate and a light emitting diode disposed on the substrate;

a heat sink including an inner surface on which the light source unit is disposed and at least one opening;

a top plate being disposed on the heat sink and including a reflective surface which reflects light from the light source unit in a particular direction;

a bottom plate disposed under the heat sink and having a light emitting opening and an edge defining the light emitting opening; and

a cover disposed on the light emitting opening of the bottom plate, wherein the cover includes:

an upper portion coupled to an edge of the bottom plate;

a lower portion including an opening larger than the light emitting opening of the bottom plate; and

a light collector being disposed between the upper portion and the lower portion and collecting the light

wherein the at least one opening of the heat sink comprises an upper opening and a lower opening, the top plate is disposed on the upper opening, the bottom plate is disposed under the lower opening, and the light reflected by the reflective surface of the top plate passes through the light emitting opening.

14. The lighting device of claim 13 , wherein at least one of the upper portion or the lower portion is disposed on an imaginary line connecting a certain point defining an opening of the lower portion of the cover with the light emitting device of the light source unit which is the farthest away from the point.

15. The lighting device of claim 13 , wherein a light reflective material layer is disposed on an inner surface of the light collector.

16. The lighting device of claim 13 , wherein the edge of the bottom plate comprises a spiral recess or an angled recess, and wherein the upper portion of the cover comprises a protrusion inserted into the spiral recess or the angled recess.

17. The lighting device of claim 16 , wherein the reflective surface has a conical shape.

18. A lighting device comprising:

a light source unit including a substrate and a light emitting diode disposed on the substrate;

a heat sink including an inner surface on which the substrate is disposed and an upper opening and a lower opening;

a top plate being disposed on the upper opening of the heat sink and including a reflective surface which is disposed in the interior space of the heat sink and has a predetermined inclination; and

a safety plate being disposed under the lower opening of the heat sink and including an edge disposed between the light emitting device and the lowest portion of the reflective surface.

19. The lighting device of claim 18 , wherein the safety plate comprises an inner surface, and wherein the inner surface of the safety plate has a predetermined inclination for reflecting light from the light emitting device to the reflective surface.
