Description

Separable and combinable LED lighting device and method of manufacturing the same

The present invention relates to an LED lighting device capable of being separated and combined. More specifically, the present invention relates to an LED lighting device having external surfaces of a housing formed on each side and an LED assembly detachably attached to each side thereof, The present invention relates to an LED lighting device which can be used according to installation place and use by easily adjusting the color temperature and brightness of an LED module from a mobile communication terminal through an external terminal and can remarkably improve ease of use.

As the lighting infrastructure is expanded and the interest in lighting is increasing, the demand for lighting is increasing to account for 20% of the total electricity consumption.

Particularly, LED lighting is a light emitted by using a light emitting diode element as a light source, so that energy consumption is low due to low power consumption, waste of mercury and greenhouse gases is reduced, and various colors and roughness can be produced. And operating costs are reduced. As a result, it is becoming popular as an environmentally friendly next-generation lighting.

Among such illumination lamps, a lantern is a widely used illumination light when it is difficult to provide illumination such as camping because it is portable and movable, or when it is difficult to temporarily provide a light source such as a power failure.

Such a conventional lantern is advantageous in that it can be placed in a place where illumination is required because it is easy to carry and move, or can be grasped by a moving person (moving object) to provide illumination. However, . For example, light may be provided to a region adjacent to a lantern in a large area, but illumination efficiency may be reduced in a region separated by a lantern, and when a lantern is installed in a specific place, The lantern has to be purchased more than 2 because it can not provide illumination.
