Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a lighting device, including a light body, a light source module mounted in the light body, and a light transmissive portion covering the light source module. The light source module includes a plurality of lenses and a light emitting unit accommodated in each of the lens; light emitted by the light emitting unit is emitted from the light transmissive portion after being distributed by the lens; the light transmissive portion is arc-shaped; and an incident angle corresponding to incident light at any point of the light transmissive portion is smaller than 45°. In the lighting device according to the present disclosure, by designing the light transmissive portion to be arc-shaped, the incident angle corresponding to the incident light on the light transmissive portion is limited within 45°.
