Abstract

An LED lamp includes: a lamp shell; a passive heat dissipating element having a heat sink, and the heat sink including fins and a base and connecting to the lamp shell; a power source disposed in the lamp shell; and a light board connecting to the heat sink and including LED chips electrically connected to the power source. A chamber of the lamp shell is formed with a first heat dissipating channel. The first heat dissipating channel has a first air inlet at an end of the lamp shell. Another end of the lamp shell has a heat dissipating hole. A second heat dissipating channel is formed in the fins and base. The second heat dissipating channel has a second air inlet. Air flows into the second air inlet, passes through the second heat dissipating channel and flow out from spaces between every adjacent two of the fins.
