[0038] Additionally, it should be noted that, according to Figure 5 As shown, as another embodiment of this utility model, depending on the actual lighting needs, a ring-shaped distributed lamp bead arrangement can also be selected to improve the adaptability of this device.

[0039] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When in use, the downwash airflow generated by the propeller 5 flows through the air duct heat dissipation structure, effectively removing the heat generated by the LED lighting module 4. It is suitable for high-power, long-term lighting tasks.
