## Abstract

An LED lamp has an envelope that includes a globe (30) and a case (50), an interior space of the envelope being divided in two by a mount (20) closing an opening of the globe (30), the lamp containing, in a globe (30) side of the interior space, an LED and, in a case (50) side of the interior space, a circuit unit for causing the LED to emit light. The LED is thermally connected to the mount (20), and the mount (20) and the case (50) are joined to the globe (30) such that, during light emission, at least as much heat from the LED is propagated from the mount (20) to the globe (30) as from the mount (20) to the case (50).

## Claims

### Claim at position 1

1-8. (canceled)

### Claim 9

A lamp having an envelope that includes a globe and a case, an interior space of the envelope being divided in two by a mount closing an opening of the globe, the lamp containing, in a globe side of the interior space, a semiconductor light-emitting element and, in a case side of the interior space, a circuit unit for causing the semiconductor light-emitting element to emit light, wherein
the mount is a circular disc having a side face that is at least partially joined to the globe by a first adhesive,
an opening end of the globe is connected to the case by a second adhesive,
the semiconductor light-emitting element is thermally connected to the mount and spatially separated from the envelope,
a surface contact region where a part of the mount and an inner circumferential surface of the globe are joined by the first adhesive is larger than a surface contact region between the mount and the case, and
the mount and the case are joined to the globe such that, during light emission, at least as much heat from the semiconductor light-emitting element is propagated from the mount to the globe as from the mount to the case.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The lamp of claim 9, wherein
the globe is more thermo-conductive than the case.

### Claim 11 (depends on 9)

The lamp of claim 9, wherein
the case is fitted to an outside surface of an opening end of the globe.

### Claim 12 (depends on 9)

The lamp of claim 9, wherein
the first adhesive is more thermo-conductive than the case.

### Claim 13 (depends on 9)

The lamp of claim 9, wherein
the second adhesive is less thermo-conductive than the case.

### Claim 14 (depends on 9)

The lamp of claim 9, wherein
a heat shield plate is disposed between the mount and the circuit unit.

### Claim 15 (depends on 9)

The lamp of claim 9, wherein
the contact surface area between the mount and the globe is a total surface area of contact between the side face of the mount and the case, and between the side face of the mount and a reverse face of the mount.

### Claim 16 (depends on 9)

A lighting device comprising a lamp and a lighting fixture for mounting and lighting the lamp, wherein
the lamp is the lamp of claim 9.

### Claim 17 (depends on 10)

The lamp of claim 10, wherein
the case is fitted to an outside surface of an opening end of the globe.

### Claim 18 (depends on 17)

The lamp of claim 17, wherein
the first adhesive is more thermo-conductive than the case.

### Claim 19 (depends on 18)

The lamp of claim 18, wherein
the second adhesive is less thermo-conductive than the case.

### Claim 20 (depends on 19)

The lamp of claim 19, wherein
a heat shield plate is disposed between the mount and the circuit unit.

### Claim 21 (depends on 20)

The lamp of claim 20, wherein
the contact surface area between the mount and the globe is a total surface area of contact between the side face of the mount and the case, and between the side face of the mount and a reverse face of the mount.
