Abstract

A lighting device is provided, which includes a substrate, at least one lighting element and at least one optical element. The lighting element is disposed on the substrate, wherein the lighting element produces light. The optical element, disposed on a light-emitting path of the light, wherein the optical element includes a base and a refractive portion. The base includes a first end and second end, wherein the second end is thinner than the first end. The refractive portion is connected to the second end of the base, wherein the refractive portion includes a curved surface.

Claims
