The present invention relates to an LED fluorescent lamp, and more particularly, to simplify the assembly of the LED fluorescent lamp installed on the ceiling or wall, and to assemble the light emitted from the LED so as to have a plurality of spherical waves in the traveling direction to overlap the illumination It relates to an LED fluorescent lamp that can improve the efficiency.

In general, various types of lamps or the like are used to provide light or to irradiate an object at night or indoors. Such lamps or lamps are supplied with power to convert electrical energy into light energy to provide light or to irradiate an object, and in general, incandescent lamps or fluorescent lamps are generally used.

Recently, although it is expensive, various colors can be produced, and a long lifetime and low power consumption have led to the development of lamps or lamps using LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes). have. In addition, within several years, high energy-consuming light bulbs are to be dismissed, and as part of the national project, research and development in the LED field is actively progressing. Among such LEDs, fluorescent lamps using LEDs are disclosed in Korean Patent No. 10-866586.

1 to 3 are exploded perspective views, side cross-sectional views, and light diffusion showing a conventional LED fluorescent lamp, respectively.

The fluorescent lamp using the LED of Patent No. 10-866586 includes a hemispherical base 1a and an extension part 1b bent inwardly at both ends of the base 1a, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3.
