Abstract

The present invention relates to a fluorescent lamp-type LED lighting device including: a case part formed to be elongated in one direction and having an open bottom surface which provides a reflection space on the inner side; a cover part provided on the bottom surface of the case part so that the light which is reflected and diffused in the case part is emitted; and multiple LEDs which emit the light from the cover part and the inner side of the case part such that the light is reflected and diffused on the inner side of the case part. According to the present invention, the LED light is emitted toward an indoor ceiling side, the reflection space is provided so as to reflect and diffuse the emitted LED light, and the light is emitted through a bottom surface part. Accordingly, no additional diffusion plate for surface emission is used and thus optical efficiency can be increased.

Claims (24)

1. A fluorescent lamp type LED lighting device comprising:

a case part which is formed to be elongated in one direction and has a reflection space formed therein, wherein a bottom surface of the case part is open;

a cover part which is provided on the bottom surface of the case part and is transparent; and

a plurality of LEDs which are arranged in the one direction on the cover part, and emit the light toward the case part,

wherein the light emitted by the LEDs is reflected and diffused inside the case part, and the light transmits the cover part,

wherein G13 socket parts are coupled to opposite ends of the case part to be coupled to a fluorescent lamp fixture, and

wherein, when a power supply unit is located in only one of the G13 socket parts, a counterweight is mounted to the other G13 socket part.

2. The fluorescent lamp type LED lighting device of claim 1 , wherein the case part has opposite sides bent along a lengthwise direction, and a bent interior angle is an obtuse angle.

3. The fluorescent lamp type LED lighting device of claim 1 , wherein the LEDs are in contact with an upper side of the cover part or are mounted to a substrate fixed at a spaced location.

4. The fluorescent lamp type LED lighting device of claim 1 , wherein the LEDs receive electric power while being mounted to a metal electrode pattern formed to be in contact with an upper side of the cover part.

5. The fluorescent lamp type LED lighting device of claim 1 , wherein a power supply unit for supplying Direct Current (DC) power is mounted to an interior of at least one of the G13 socket parts.

6. The fluorescent lamp type LED lighting device of claim 1 , wherein the G13 socket parts include terminals coupled to the fluorescent lamp fixture, and the terminals are rotatable.

7. The fluorescent lamp type LED lighting device of claim 1 , wherein a light emitting hole for emitting light is provided on an upper circumference of the case part.

8. The fluorescent lamp type LED lighting device of claim 1 , wherein the case part is fixedly installed on a ceiling by a connection tube, and the ceiling is illuminated through the connection tube.

9. The fluorescent lamp type LED lighting device of claim 8 , wherein a through-hole communicating with the connection tube is provided in the case part, so that light of the LEDs is emitted through the connection tube.

10. A fluorescent lamp type LED lighting device comprising:

a case part which is formed to be elongated in one direction and has a reflection space formed therein, wherein a bottom surface of the case part is open;

a cover part which is provided on the bottom surface of the case part and through which, light reflected and diffused inside the case part, is emitted;

a plurality of LEDs which emit light from an interior of the cover part and the case part to reflect and diffuse the light inside the case part; and

a pair of support frames to which upper opposite ends of a plurality of case parts are coupled,

wherein rotation coupling parts are provided outside the pair of support frames such that the case part is easily attached/detached.

11. The fluorescent lamp type LED lighting device of claim 10 , wherein the rotation coupling parts are rotatable in a state in which locations of the rotation coupling parts are fixed by rotary shaft parts provided on side surfaces of the support frames and have cut grooves in which fixing protrusion parts provided on opposite ends of the case part are fitted.

12. The fluorescent lamp type LED lighting device of claim 11 , wherein the support frames have socket parts for supplying electric power, and

a plug connected to the substrate protrudes from an upper portion of the support frame, so that electric power is supplied to the substrate by coupling between the support frame and the case part.
