Abstract

An LED illumination device for spotlighting includes: a lower case part having a plurality of planar inner side surfaces so that a light-emitting hole on the bottom surface thereof can be a polygonal shape; an upper case part, positioned above the lower case part, for receiving a power supply unit; substrates which are respectively coupled to the planar inner side surfaces of the lower case part and in which LEDs are mounted such that a light-emitting surface can be directed to the central part of the polygon; and a plurality of heat dissipation fins which are protrudingly positioned along the circumference of the lower case part, wherein the spaces between the heat dissipation fins communicate in the longitudinal direction of the lower case part. A case is manufactured as a single structure and components such as a power supply unit, LED-mounted substrates, reflective plates, etc. can be assembled within the case through the light-emitting hole.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An LED illumination device for spotlighting, comprising:
a lower case having a plurality of planar inner surfaces so that a light outlet on a bottom thereof has a polygonal shape;
an upper case positioned above the lower case to accommodate a power supply unit therein;
substrates coupled to the respective planar inner surfaces of the lower case and having LEDs mounted thereon such that light-emitting surfaces of the LEDs are directed to a center of the polygonal light outlet;
a reflector coupled to cover the light outlet of the lower case;
a dimming controller configured to control electric power of the power supply unit in response to an external control signal and to supply the controlled electric power to the substrates; and
a plurality of heat dissipation fins protruding along a circumference of the lower case, spaces between the heat dissipation fins being in communication with one another in a vertical direction of the lower case,
wherein the reflector has a through-hole through which the dimming controller is exposed downward.

2. The LED illumination device according to claim 1 , wherein the reflector comprises a plurality of reflective pockets to individually expose the LEDs mounted on the substrates toward the light outlet.

3. The LED illumination device according to claim 2 , further comprising a thermal insulator configured to prevent heat conduction between the upper case and the lower case.

4. The LED illumination device according to claim 3 , wherein the thermal insulator comprises first and second thermal insulators that are vertically disposed, and an air layer is defined between the first thermal insulator and the second thermal insulator.

5. The LED illumination device according to claim 2 , wherein the reflector has a plurality of ribs arranged on an upper surface thereof to reinforce the reflector and enlarge a surface area of the reflector for easy heat dissipation.

6. The LED illumination device according to claim 1 , wherein the reflector has a plurality of inclined surfaces to individually expose the LEDs mounted on the substrates toward the light outlet.

7. The LED illumination device according to claim 6 , wherein the reflector has a plurality of ribs arranged on an upper surface thereof to reinforce the reflector and enlarge a surface area of the reflector for easy heat dissipation.

8. The LED illumination device according to claim 1 , wherein the upper and lower cases are connected by a connection member so that a space portion is defined therebetween.

9. The LED illumination device according to claim 8 , wherein the heat dissipation fins are separately manufactured to be coupled to the outside of the lower case.
