a light guide member provided on the light source, the light guide member to guide the lights incident on an edge thereof from the light sources; and

a light controlling layer provided over the light guide member in the case, the light controlling layer to reflect light from the light source toward an inside of the case and reduce light from being directly radiated to an outside of the case,

wherein the light controlling layer includes a plurality of first reflection patterns each associated with a separate light emitting diode (LED),

wherein each first reflection pattern includes a plurality of first reflection parts, and a size of each first reflection part for a corresponding first reflection pattern decreases with increasing a distance from the corresponding LED,

wherein the light guide member includes a plurality of through holes formed in correspondence to the plurality of the LEDs, and

wherein the plurality of LEDs mounted on the circuit board pass through the through holes to allow the lights to be incident on the edge of the light guide member.

2. The lighting apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

a reflector between the circuit board and the light guide member.

3. The lighting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein density of each first reflection part decreases with increasing a distance from the corresponding LED.

4. The lighting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the light controlling layer further includes a light transmittable film, wherein the plurality of first reflection parts are printed on the light transmittable film.

5. The lighting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the case is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape and surfaces of the case are closed other than a top surface, the case to receive the circuit board and the light source.

6. The lighting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the light guide member includes a plurality of second reflection patterns each associated with a separate LED, wherein each reflection pattern includes a plurality of second reflection parts, and a density of the second reflection parts for the corresponding second reflection pattern increases with increasing a distance from the corresponding LED.

7. The lighting apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the second reflection parts are scratches or dots.

8. The lighting apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

a diffusing member provided over the light controlling layer to scatter and disperse light from the light source.

9. The lighting apparatus of claim 8 , further comprising:

a metal layer deposited on a surface of the diffusing member.

10. A lighting apparatus comprising:

a case;
