In the example shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 , the reflectingsurface 21 includes parabola-shapedreflecting surfaces surface 21 can have other shapes based on the structure of thelighting device 100. In addition, as shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 , the parabola-shaped reflectingsurfaces boundary 22 that is disposed in a longitudinal direction of thelighting device 100 and that vertically overlaps thelight source unit 30. Also, the material and color of thereflector 20 can be varied to achieve a specific illumination of thelighting device 100. For example, thereflector 20 can be formed of a white material having a high reflecting efficiency or be coated with silver (Ag) or aluminum (AI). - Further, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the
light source unit 30 can be held and placed within thehousing 10 via socket parts that interact and connect with terminals of thelight source unit 30.FIG. 2 illustrates a single socket part 42 (another socket part on the opposite side of thelight source 30 is not shown inFIG. 2 ).

Thus, the first andsecond connection terminals second socket parts light source unit 30. In addition, the first andsecond connection terminals second socket parts light source 30. - Thus, in this embodiment, the first and
second socket parts second connection terminals light source unit 30. That is, the control part controlslight emitting diodes 31 of thelight source 30 to selectively emit light having a desired color, and adjusts the brightness and colors of thelight emitting diodes 31. As such, the control part controls thelight emitting diodes 31 installed on thelight source unit 30 to provide various illuminations. Also, when thelight source unit 30 reaches its service life or is broken, thelight source unit 30 can be easily replaced by removing the first andsecond connection terminals second socket parts - Next,

In more detail, and as shown inFIGS. 6 and7 , a shape of thefirst connection terminal 36 can be different from the shape of thesecond connection terminal 37, and the shape of thefirst socket part 41 can be different from the shape of thesecond socket part 42. Thus, thelight source unit 30 can be accurately coupled to the first andsecond socket parts FIG. 6 , thefirst connection terminal 36 includes ablock portion 36a and aprotrusion portion 36b protruding to the lower side of theblock portion 36a, and theblock portion 36a is integrally formed with theprotrusion portion 36b. In addition, thefirst socket part 41 has a shape corresponding to thefirst connection terminal 36, and theprotrusion portion 36b is inserted into an insertion portion disposed in thefirst socket part 41. - In addition, as shown in
FIG. 6(a) , a throughhole 41 a is disposed in the insertion portion, and theprotrusion portion 36b passes through the throughhole 41 a. Alternatively, and as shown inFIG. 6(b) , the insertion portion is provided with aninsertion recess 41 b, and theprotrusion portion 36b is disposed in theinsertion recess 41 b. Referring toFIG. 7 , thesecond connection terminal 37 can also include only ablock portion 37a, and thesecond socket part 42 can have a shape corresponding to thesecond connection terminal 37. Thus, thesecond connection terminal 37 can be inserted and coupled to thesecond socket part 42.

block portion second connection terminals protrusion portion 36b can have a circular, oval and polygonal shape.
