Abstract
An LED lightbulb is configured to properly illuminate a broader region. The LED lightbulb includes a light emitting unit, a pedestal, a power source unit, a heat dissipator, a base, and a globe swelling toward one side in a first direction for enclosing the light emitting unit. The globe is configured to diffusingly transmit light from the light emitting unit. The light emitting unit provides a light amount not less than 50% of the maximum light amount in a region not exceeding ±60° about the central axis extending in the first direction set as 0°. The globe provides a light amount not less than 50% in a region exceeding ±125° about the central axis set as 0°.
Claims20
An LED lightbulb comprising:
- a light emitting unit configured to emit light about a central axis extending in a first direction, the light emitting unit including at least one LED chip;
- a pedestal including a mounting surface on which the light emitting unit is mounted, the mounting surface facing in the first direction;
- a power source unit that supplies power to the light emitting unit, the power source unit being disposed at a position opposite to the light emitting unit with respect to the pedestal;
- a heat dissipator attached to the pedestal and including a power source chamber that accommodates the power source unit;
- a base attached to the heat dissipator;
- and
- a globe swelling in the first direction and enclosing the light emitting unit, the globe being configured to diffusingly transmit light from the light emitting unit;
- wherein the light emitting unit is configured to provide a light amount not less than 50% of a maximum light amount in a region not exceeding ±60° about the central axis set as 0°, and
- wherein the globe is configured to provide a light amount not less than 50% in a region exceeding ±125° about the central axis set as 0°.
