The present invention relates generally to a lamp, and particularly to a lamp structure capable of being assembled and concentrating light for lighting.
The lamp is one of human's most important inventions. It provides people with tremendous convenience. As technologies advance day by day, there are various commercial lamp models with respective distinguishing features. No matter incandescent lamps, fluorescent lamps, halogen lamps, electrodeless fluorescent lamps, mercury-free fluorescent lamps, and light-emitting diode (LED) lamps, they all own specific optical, safety, environment characteristics and cost-to-performance ratios. In particular, LED lamps have strong potential advantages. Hence, their applications as well as market share will expand rapidly.
As the lighting technologies develop, the evaluation on future lighting source is not placed on the luminous efficacy only. The evaluations on the lighting effect, comfort, biological effects, safety, environment characteristics, resource consumption are stressed as well. In addition, due to their advantages of low power consumption and long lifetime, no matter public or domestic lighting, LEDs have gradually replaced general commercial incandescent and power-saving lamps. The related products of LEDs are also being developed prosperously.

The present invention improves the drawbacks of the prior art. According to the prior art, the light-emitting surface of an LED lamp structure normally located on the top and side surfaces for forming a light-emitting lamp. In addition, the light from an LED lamp structure is directional. Nonetheless, owing to its directionality, when the lamp structure according to the prior art is disposed on the ceiling, the light from the top light-emitting surface will illuminate downward while the light from the side light-emitting surface will illuminate to the surroundings. Then the light from the lamp structure according to the prior art is not fully utilized in domestic lighting. Accordingly, the present invention provides a lamp structure, which comprises the lamp cap, the plurality of first light-emitting modules, and the second light-emitting module. The second light-emitting module is a planar light source illuminating downwards. The plurality of first light-emitting modules are oblique light sources lighting downwards and to the surroundings. The plurality of first light-emitting modules surround the light-emitting surface of the second light-emitting module. Thereby, the plurality of first light-emitting modules can further supplement the lighting range and intensity of the second light-emitting module.
The overall structure of the lamp structure can be disassembled and assembled with ease. In addition, while maintaining the lamp structure, only the damaged portion should be repaired or replaced, and hence reducing the maintenance cost.
Accordingly, the present invention conforms to the legal requirements owing to its novelty, nonobviousness, and utility. However, the foregoing description is only embodiments of the present invention, not used to limit the scope and range of the present invention. Those equivalent changes or modifications made according to the shape, structure, feature, or spirit described in the claims of the present invention are included in the appended claims of the present invention.
