Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A lamp may include an outer shell having heat conductivity and a base provided in the outer shell. The outer shell may include a light source support, and a heat radiating surface exposed to the outside of the outer shell. The light source support may, in some examples, be formed integrally with the heat radiating surface. A light source may be supported on the light source support. The light source may be heated during lighting, and be thermally connected to the light source support. In some examples, the light source may be covered by a cover.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A lamp comprising: an outer shell made of metal and having an end wall and a peripheral wall which is thermally connected to the end wall, a part of the peripheral wall forming a heat radiating path configured to discharge air introduced from a first port to a second port, the end wall not forming the heat radiating path, and one side portion of the end wall having a light source support, the light source support including a flat supporting surface which is…
