Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A downlight is provided. The downlight includes an insulating housing, a power supply assembly, a reflection cup, a LED light source, and a diffusion cover, wherein, the interior of the insulating housing is divided into a first cavity and a second cavity, the power supply assembly is arranged in the first cavity, the reflection cup is arranged in the second cavity, the LED light source is arranged in the reflection cup and connected with the power supply assembly, the reflection cup is configured to dissipate the heat of the LED light source and reflect the light from it to the open end of the second cavity, and the diffusion cover encapsulated in the open end of the second cavity is configured to diffuse the light.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A downlight comprising: an insulating housing, a power supply assembly, a reflection cup, a LED light source, and a diffusion cover; wherein, an interior of the insulating housing is divided into a first cavity and a second cavity, the power supply assembly is arranged in the first cavity, the reflection cup is arranged in the second cavity, the LED light source is arranged in the reflection cup and connected with the power supply assembly, the reflection cup is configured to dissipate heat from the LED light source and reflect the light from the LED light source to an open end of the second cavity, and the diffusion cover encapsulated in the open end of the second cavity is configured to diffuse the light; wherein, a plurality of heat dissipation fins arranged at intervals are provided on an exterior wall of the second cavity, a mouth part of the reflection cup extends to a position of the plurality of heat dissipation fins along an interior wall of the second cavity. 2. The downlight according to claim 1 , wherein, the insulating housing is made of a plastic material in one piece, and a shape of the second cavity is a trumpet shape matching a shape of the reflection cup. 3. The downlight according to claim 1 , wherein, an insulating rear cover is encapsulated in an open end of the first cavity, and is removably connected with the first cavity. 4. The downlight according to claim 1 , wherein, circularly distributed receiving grooves with mounting holes are provided in the open end of the second cavity, and snaps with resilient clasps for buckling into the mounting holes are provided on the diffusion cover. 5. The downlight according to claim 1 , wherein, connector holders mounted with spring supports are provided on an exterior wall of the second cavity. 6. The downlight according to claim 1 , wherein, the reflection cup is made of an aluminum material, the LED light source is arranged at a bottom of the reflection cup through a connecting member. 7. A lighting system comprising: a switch unit and a downlight, wherein the downlight comprises an insulating housing, a power supply assembly, a reflection cup, a LED light source, and a diffusion cover; wherein, an interior of the insulated housing is divided into a first cavity and a second cavity, the power supply assembly is arranged in the first cavity, the reflection cup is arranged in the second cavity, the LED light source is arranged in the reflection cup and connected with the power supply assembly, the reflection cup is configured to dissipate heat from the LED light source and reflect the light from the LED light source to an open end of the second cavity, and the diffusion cover encapsulated in the open end of the second cavity is configured to diffuse the light, wherein, a plurality of heat dissipation fins arranged at intervals are provided on an exterior wall of the second cavity, a mouth part of the reflection cup extends to a position of the plurality of heat dissipation fins along an interior wall of the second cavity, and wherein the switch unit is configured to turn on and off the downlight. 8. The lighting system according to claim 7 , wherein, the switch unit is a pushbutton switch or a voice control switch. 9. The lighting system according to claim 7 , wherein, the lighting system further comprises a control unit configured to adjust the light of the downlight. 10. The lighting system according to claim 7 , wherein, the insulating housing is made of a plastic material in one piece, and a shape of the second cavity is a trumpet shape matching a shape of the reflection cup. 11. The lighting system according to claim 7 , wherein, an insulating rear cover is encapsulated in an open end of the first cavity, and is removably connected with the first cavity. 12. The lighting system according to claim 7 , wherein, circularly distributed receiving grooves with mounting holes are provided in the open end of the second cavity, and snaps with resilient clasps for buckling into the mounting holes are provided on the diffusion cover. 13. The lighting system according to claim 7 , wherein, connector holders mounted with spring supports are provided on an exterior wall of the second cavity. 14. The lighting system according to claim 7 , wherein, the reflection cup is made of an aluminum material, the LED light source is arranged at a bottom of the reflection cup through a connecting member.
