A light source including a refraction body, a metal cup, a metal reflecting lampshade, an LED lamp body. Light emitted from the LED lamp body is reflected by the metal cup to be vertically incident into the refraction body so that the light is refracted by the refraction body; the refraction body is installed at a focus of the cambered tapered surface of the metal reflecting lampshade so that the light is reflected to have a predetermined reflected shape.

The present invention relates to light source, in particular to a flashless light source with effects of light refraction and reflection. Light emitted from the LED lamp body is reflected by a metal cup to be vertically incident into the refraction body so that the light is refracted by the refraction body; the refraction body is installed at a focus of the cambered tapered surface of the metal reflecting lampshade so that the light is reflected to have a predetermined reflected shape to remove the flashing effect due to the small light emitted area of the LED.
Referring to FIG. 1, in the prior art quartz bulb, a light shielding unit 2 is installed in a lampshade 1. The light shielding unit 2 has a cover portion 3 for shielding an upper side of a light source. Only light from lateral side is left. Thus light is refracted from the inner surfaces of the lampshade 1 and then is dispersed on the periphery of the lampshade 1. However the design of the light shielding unit 2 will make the manufacturing process tedious and some of the light is shielded. Therefore, the strength of the light is weakened.
In another prior art, the light emitted from the lateral side of a light source is strengthened. In one prior art, a light guide is installed at an upper side of a metal cup. An inner side of the light guide is formed as a cambered surface. A lower side of the light guide is formed as an inclined surface for refracting or dispersing light from LED (light emitting diodes) so that by the design of the inner inclined surface and cambered surface of the light guide will make the light to completely reflect. Thus light is dispersed to a periphery of the light guide so that the lateral side is lighter. However this can not provide for far distance emission.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a prior art light source.
FIG. 2 is an exploded view of the present invention.
FIG. 3 is an assembled view of the present invention.
In order that those skilled in the art can further understand the present invention, a description will be provided in the following in details. However, these descriptions and the appended drawings are only used to cause those skilled in the art to understand the objects, features, and characteristics of the present invention, but not to be used to confine the scope and spirit of the present invention defined in the appended claims.
Referring to FIGS. 2, 3 and 4, the light source of the present invention is illustrated. The light source has a refraction body 10, a metal cup 20, a metal reflecting lampshade 30, an LED lamp body 40.
The LED lamp body 40 has a threaded hole 410 and is locked to a bottom 31 of the metal reflecting lampshade 30. An upper end of the LED lamp body 40 is formed with a protrusion portion 42.
