Abstract

An illumination device includes a main body unit, a light source module and a cover unit. The light source module is disposed in an upper space of the main body unit to be separated therefrom and includes a substrate and at least one light emitting device respectively disposed on both surfaces of the substrate. The cover unit is disposed on the main body unit to cover the light source module and allowing light emitted from the light source module to be emitted from a surface of the cover unit in a radial manner.

wherein the at least one light emitting device is positioned between the plurality of support units.

2. The illumination device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of support units include a body having a pillar shape, and

the body has a sectional area smaller than a sectional area of the main body unit.

3. The illumination device of claim 2 , wherein:

the body includes a material having high thermal conductivity, and

the body has an inner hole formed therein, the inner hole accommodating an electric wire electrically connected to the light source module.

4. The illumination device of claim 2 , wherein the plurality of support units further include a reflective layer disposed on an outer surface of the body.

5. The illumination device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of support units form a space accommodating the at least one light emitting device disposed on one surface of the substrate facing the main body unit.

6. The illumination device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of support units allow power to be supplied from the main body unit connected to an external power source to the light source module.

7. The illumination device of claim 1 , further comprising a reflective unit disposed on the main body unit between the main body unit and the light source module and reflecting the light emitted from the light source module toward the main body unit.

8. The illumination device of claim 7 , wherein the reflective unit protrudes from a central portion thereof and includes a reflective surface facing the light source module.

9. The illumination device of claim 1 , wherein the substrate includes:

a core plate having the at least one light emitting device fixedly attached thereto; and

an insulating layer covering the core plate.

10. The illumination device of claim 9 , wherein the core plate includes a plurality of divided members having electrical conductivity and insulated from each other by the insulating layer.

11. The illumination device of claim 9 , wherein the insulating layer includes an opening exposing a portion of the core plate for connecting the core plate to the at least one light emitting device.

12. The illumination device of claim 1 , further comprising a reflective unit disposed on the main body unit and including a protruding portion which is lower than a position of the light emitting device,

wherein the reflective unit is separated from the at least one light emitting device.

13. An illumination device, comprising:

a main body unit;

a light source module disposed in an upper space of the main body unit to be separated therefrom and including a substrate and at least one light emitting device respectively disposed on both surfaces of the substrate;

a cover unit disposed on the main body unit to cover the light source module and allowing light emitted from the light source module to be emitted from a surface of the cover unit in a radial manner; and
