Abstract

According to one embodiment, a bulb-shaped lamp includes a light source unit, a plurality of substrates, a substrate holding member, and a globe. The respective substrates hold light source units. The substrate holding member has thermal conductivity and an insulating property and holds the respective substrates. The globe is thermally connected to the substrate holding member. The cap is positioned on one end side of the globe.

Claims

1. A bulb-shaped lamp comprising:

light source units;

a plurality of substrates configured to hold the light source units respectively;

a substrate holding member having thermal conductivity and configured to hold the respective substrates on a periphery thereof;

a globe configured to come into contact with the substrate holding member; and

a cap positioned on one end side of the globe.

2. The lamp according to claim 1, wherein the substrate holding member includes fins protruding corresponding to the number of substrates held thereby and configured to come into contact with the globe.

3. The lamp according to claim 1, wherein the substrate holding member includes a holding member body coming into contact with the globe at a distal end portion thereof.

4. The lamp according to claim 1, comprising power circuit units held by the respective substrates and configured to supply power to the light source units.

5. The lamp according to claim 4, wherein the power source circuit units are arranged on the substrates at positions in the vicinity of the cap in the direction of a lamp axis.

6. The lamp according to claim 1, wherein the substrate holding member includes a plurality of surface portions away from each other in the circumferential direction with respect to the lamp axis, and

the respective substrates are held in a state of being thermally connected to the respective surface portions.

7. The lamp according to claim 1, wherein the substrate holding member includes a hole portion communicating with the outside of the globe and configured to take outside air into the interior thereof.

8. The lamp according to claim 7, wherein the globe includes a communicating opening portion on a top portion, which corresponds to the other end portion, and

the hole portion is provided along a center portion of the substrate holding member and configured to communicate with a communicating opening portion.

9. The lamp according to claim 8, wherein the globe includes an opening portion positioned between the globe and the cap, and

the substrate holding member includes an opening communicating with the hole portion and the opening portion and constituting an air-ventilation air trunk.

10. A luminaire comprising:

a luminaire body having a socket; and

the bulb-shaped lamp according to claim 1 configured to be mounted in the socket.
