a power supply unit which is disposed within the second heat radiation part of the heat sink and supplies power to the light source module,
wherein the second heat radiation part of the heat sink comprises an inner portion receiving the power supply unit therewithin, an outer portion enclosing the inner portion, and a first receiver disposed between the inner portion and the outer portion,
wherein the first heat radiation part of the heat sink comprises an upper portion which is disposed on the inner portion of the second heat radiation part and on which the substrate of the light source module is disposed, and a lower portion disposed in the first receiver of the second heat radiation part,
wherein the first receiver is a gap formed between the inner portion and the outer portion,
wherein a shape of the gap of the first receiver corresponds to a shape of the lower portion of the first heat radiation part,
wherein the inner portion of the second heat radiation part of the heat sink includes a top surface which contacts with a bottom surface of the upper portion of the first heat radiation part, and
wherein the second heat radiation part surrounds all of the lower portion of the first heat radiation part.

2. The lighting device of claim 1 , wherein the upper portion of the first heat radiation part has a flat plate shape, and wherein the lower portion of the first heat radiation part has a cylindrical shape with an empty interior.

3. The lighting device of claim 2 , wherein the lower portion of the first heat radiation part has a cylindrical shape of which a width is decreased toward a bottom from a top thereof.

4. The lighting device of claim 2 , wherein the upper portion of the first heat radiation part extends outwardly from a top of the lower portion of the first heat radiation part, and has a ring shape.

5. The lighting device of claim 2 , wherein the lower portion of the first heat radiation part has a top opening and a bottom opening, and wherein the upper portion of the first heat radiation part is disposed in the top opening of the lower portion of the first heat radiation part.

6. The lighting device of claim 2 , wherein the lower portion of the first heat radiation part further comprises a fin or an embossed structure formed on at least one of an outer surface and an inner surface of the lower portion.

7. The lighting device of claim 1 , wherein a shape of the lower portion of the first heat radiation part corresponds to a shape of the outer portion of the second heat radiation part, and wherein the lower portion of the first heat radiation part is disposed adjacent to an outer surface of the outer portion of the second heat radiation part.

8. The lighting device of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of the upper portions of the first heat radiation part or a plurality of the lower portions of the first heat radiation part are provided.

9. The lighting device of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of the upper portions of the first heat radiation part are disposed on the outer portion of the second heat radiation part, and wherein the substrate and the light emitting device of the light source module are sequentially disposed on the plurality of the upper portions of the first heat radiation part.
