Abstract

A lighting device including an upper casing, a light emitting diode (LED) light source, a first reflective plate and a packaging lens is disclosed. The upper casing includes a supporting member. The LED light source is disposed on the supporting member. The first reflective plate is disposed on the supporting member and is separated from the LED light source by a first distance. The first reflective plate and a normal line of a supporting surface of the supporting member form a first angle which is greater than 0° and smaller than 40°. The packaging lens is disposed on the supporting member and covers the LED light source and the first reflective plate.

Claims
