Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The disclosure relates to the technical field of lighting fixtures, in particular to a side-emitting downlight with an integrated light bar.

BACKGROUND ART

A LED downlight is a kind of downward lighting fixture embedded in a ceiling, which is generally installed on a surrounding ceiling of a bedroom, a living room or a bathroom. Different light sources, light guide plates and diffusion plates can be used to achieve different light effects. Downlights do not occupy space, which can increase soft atmosphere of space. If a warm feeling is desired, more downlights can be installed to reduce oppressive sense of space.

At present, most of LED downlights on the market can only emit light from their front in consideration with a function of main lighting. In order to better create a space atmosphere feeling, a function of outside lighting is added on a basis of an original function of main lighting. At present, there are many forms and structures to realize the outside lighting, and in most of them, a flexible light bar is added to outside of a die-cast face frame, which cooperates with a diffusion cover for atomization to achieve effect of outer-race lighting. Disadvantages of similar design schemes are that in order to cooperate with installation of two flexible light boards and the diffusion cover, a whole kit of structural parts need new die sinking, with high design cost and an increased installation thickness, in which screws are needed for cooperation, which is not compatible with installation of a thick ceiling, and the two flexible light boards may results in difficulty in bonding wires and increased cost of input wires.
