Abstract

LED lighting lamps provide optimum heat dissipation efficiency, wide illumination beam angles, and substantially uniform illumination intensity. Generally, the disclosed LED lamps comprise at least one LED lighting element and a substrate with a plurality of inclined planes.

Claims

1. An LED lamp comprising:

a substrate with a plurality of inclined planes;

a heat sink formed together with the substrate into one part; and

at least one LED light element located on at least one of the inclined planes.

2. The LED lamp of claim 1, wherein the inclined planes are radially distributed around a central axis and form a plurality of levels with a plurality of inclination angles.

3. The LED lamp of claim 2, wherein a reflector is positioned on the central axis of the LED lamp, the reflector having an outer surface shaped like one or more circular arcs.

4. The LED lamp of claim 3, wherein the at least one LED light element comprises a bare chip without packaging.

5. The LED lamp of claim 2, wherein two adjacent inclined planes of the plurality of inclined planes at the same level of the plurality of levels have substantially different inclination angles.

6. The LED lamp of claim 2, wherein two not adjacent inclined planes of the plurality of inclined planes are separated by another inclined plane of the plurality of inclined planes, the two not adjacent inclined planes having substantially the same inclination angle.

7. The LED lamp of claim 2, wherein the levels comprise at least two levels.

8. The LED lamp of claim 1, wherein the inclination angles of the inclined planes are within the range of 10°

to 80°
