BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Field of the Invention

The invention relates to the field of LED lighting technology, more particularly, to a parabolic LED lamp.

Description of the Related Art

As green lighting, LED (light emitting diode) lamp has been paid more and more attention due to its high brightness, energy-saving and environmental protection, good performance of shock and vibration resistance, long life, high efficiency of light and other apparent advantages. The light emitting and light distributing features of LED light source accord with the radiation characteristics of Lambertian light emitter in the case of not being reflected by an anti-halo or refracted by a lens, such emitters are also known as the cosine emitters. The illumination intensity of the light emitted from LED light source is very nonuniform and we can't control the light emitted from LED light source without light distribution.

In order to obtain more uniform lighting effects, generally using one or more reflection by reflective lampshade to distribute light emitted from the LED light source to ensure uniform illumination. However, the reflective type LED lamps after a reflection, the light emitted from which is not fully projected onto the reflective lampshade, some of the light emits directly outside the lamps without being reflected, which is not conducive to adjust the angle of the emergent ray and the distribution of the light intensity of LED lamps. The structure of lamps of which the light emitted from the LED light source emitting after multiple reflections is more complex in structure, and the production cost is higher, which additionally increases the production cost of the LED lamps and does not conducive to promote the use of LED lamps.

In addition, the formation of the beam angle of existing LED parabolic aluminum reflector (PAR) lamps uses COB (the cost of COB (Chip On Board) light source is higher than SMD (Surface Mounted Devices) light source) as a light source to achieve the predetermined beam angle of the product by a lens made from a multi-refraction reflective cup or PMMA, to ensure the distribution of light intensity in effective irradiated areas. The disadvantages thereof are the defects such as black and yellow spots, the light emitting area is small through the COB light source and the light exiting area is small through the limitation of angle by a reflective panel, which cause a small irradiated area in equidistance position, and phenomenon of nonuniform distribution of light after multiple refractions by the reflective cup. And, PMMA is easy to deteriorate to decrease the light transmittance, so that the light of lamps fades large. The light intensity and brightness is higher in the light focused center, central light intensity free falls into effective dark space when greater than 10°. At the same time during the product assembling, the center point of the COB light source and the reflective cup must be the same; if not, the beam angle of which appears a phenomenon of not a parabola.
