Description

  The present invention relates to a lighting device, a heat sink, and a light emitting element substrate.

  In recent years, various light bulbs using light emitting diodes (LEDs) have been developed as illumination devices that replace conventional incandescent bulbs and fluorescent lamps. In such an LED bulb, since it is necessary to consider replacement with a conventional lighting device, the size of the LED bulb is often limited. For this reason, in the said LED bulb | ball, it is necessary to perform the thermal radiation for satisfying the performance in the determined magnitude | size.
