The surface of the member 2300 may be coated or coated with a light reflective material. For example, the surface of the member 2300 may be coated or coated with a white paint. The member 2300 reflects light reflected on the inner surface of the cover 2100 and returning toward the light source module 2200 toward the cover 2100. Therefore, it is possible to improve the light efficiency of the lighting device according to the embodiment.

The member 2300 may be made of an insulating material, for example. The connection plate 2230 of the light source module 2200 may include an electrically conductive material. Accordingly, electrical contact may be made between the radiator 2400 and the connection plate 2230. The member 2300 may be formed of an insulating material to block an electrical short between the connection plate 2230 and the radiator 2400. The radiator 2400 receives heat from the light source module 2200 and heat from the power supply unit 2600 to radiate heat.

The holder 2500 blocks the receiving groove 2719 of the insulating part 2710 of the inner case 2700. Accordingly, the power supply unit 2600 accommodated in the insulating unit 2710 of the inner case 2700 is sealed. The holder 2500 has a guide protrusion 2510. The guide protrusion 2510 has a hole through which the protrusion 2610 of the power supply unit 2600 passes.

The power supply unit 2600 processes or converts an electrical signal provided from the outside and provides it to the light source module 2200. The power supply unit 2600 is accommodated in the storage groove 2719 of the inner case 2700 and is sealed inside the inner case 2700 by the holder 2500.

The power supply unit 2600 may include a protrusion 2610, a guide portion 2630, a base 2650, and an extension 2670.

A number of components may be disposed on one surface of the base 2650. A number of components include, for example, a DC converter that converts AC power provided from an external power source to DC power, a driving chip that controls driving of the light source module 2200, and an ESD for protecting the light source module 2200 (ElectroStatic discharge) may include a protection element, but is not limited thereto.

The extension part 2670 has a shape protruding outward from the other side of the base 2650. The extension part 2670 is inserted into the connection part 2750 of the inner case 2700 and receives an electrical signal from the outside. For example, the extension part 2670 may be provided equal to or smaller than the width of the connection part 2750 of the inner case 2700. Each end of the "+ wire" and "- wire" may be electrically connected to the extension part 2670, and the other end of the "+ wire" and "- wire" may be electrically connected to the socket 2800. .
