Abstract:
In a lens-mounted light emitting unit comprising LED elements of multiple light colors, narrow-angle light distribution is enabled, and color mixing properties are improved. The lens-mounted light emitting unit comprises LED elements of multiple light colors placed on a base plate, and a lens unit having a shape of a body of revolution to color-mix and emit the light from the LED elements. Assuming an arbitrary contact point between the side incident surface and the upper incident surface of the lens unit, and that light from an LED element farthest from the contact point is refracted at the contact point to form a light path intersecting the emitting surface at an intersection point, the emitting surface inside a circle formed by continuously connecting such intersection points has a diffusion angle larger than the diffusion angle of the emitting surface outside the circle. This enables narrow-angle light distribution, and makes it possible to improve color mixing properties.
