Abstract

A lighting apparatus having a separate control panel comprises a lamp holder and a light source module that is settled in the lamp holder. The light source module is electrically connected to the control panel through a set of wires and the control panel is settled separately from the lamp holder. Thereby, the lighting apparatus can be sized without consideration for dimensions of the control panel and therefore the lighting apparatus can be efficiently reduced in its thickness and weight.

Claims

1. A lighting apparatus having a separate control panel, which comprises:

a lamp holder and a light source module settled in the lamp holder and is characterized by that the light source module is electrically connected to the control panel through a set of wires and the control panel is settled separately from the lamp holder.

2. The lighting apparatus of claim 1, wherein the light source module is a light-emitting diode module.

3. The lighting apparatus of claim 1, wherein the set of wires is a set of signal wires.

4. The lighting apparatus of claim 1, wherein the set of wires includes a set of signal wires and a set of power cords.

5. The lighting apparatus of claim 1, wherein the control panel is a remote control panel.

6. The lighting apparatus of claim 1, wherein the control panel comprises a hook unit.

7. The lighting apparatus of claim 1, wherein the control panel comprises a sucker unit.

8. The lighting apparatus of claim 1, wherein the control panel comprises an adhesive unit.

9. The lighting apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a timer that is connected to the control panel through an interface.

10. The lighting apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a timer that is connected to the control panel through a connector.
