In this case, the lighting module 10 ′ may have a circular planar shape and may be installed to be partially embedded in the ceiling 11 of the room as in the first embodiment. At this time, unlike the first embodiment, a plurality of illumination LED elements 104 are arranged and installed on the printed circuit board 114. The surface on which the plurality of lighting LED elements 104 are arranged is provided to be positioned at a position more than the outer surface of the ceiling 11, but is not limited thereto.

The housing 100 of the lighting module 10 ′ including the shade structure 101 and the heat dissipation fin structure 110 may be integrally formed as a whole to simplify the manufacturing and assembly process.

The printed circuit board 114 on which the plurality of lighting LED elements 104 is installed is fixedly installed on the inner upper surface of the housing 100 by screwing, bonding, and soldering. At this time, the light guide structure 230 for receiving the light generated in the form of radiation from the plurality of illumination LED elements 104 to guide it in the omnidirectional direction (that is, the upper surface in the figure) is provided.
