6. The lighting device of claim 5, wherein the louver or the top plate is inclined more outward from the case than the side wall.

7. The lighting device of claim 5, the space is formed by the louvers in which the bracket couplers are formed and by the side walls connected to the louvers.

8. The lighting device of claim 1, wherein the side wall of the case comprises a first side wall and a second side wall opposite to the first side wall, wherein the connection member comprises a first connector that extends from the first side wall and a second connector that extends from the second side wall, and wherein at least one of the first connector or the second connector comprises the bracket coupler.

9. The lighting device of claim 1, wherein the diffuser plate comprises at least one paraboloid that is convex in a traveling direction of the light emitted from the light emitter.

10. The lighting device of claim 1, wherein the diffuser plate comprises a flat surface on which the light emitted from the light emitter is incident and a convex surface through which the light emitted from the light emitter is emitted.

11. The lighting device of claim 1, wherein the reflective plate comprises a bottom reflective plate and a side reflective plate extending from the bottom reflective plate and having an inclination.
