AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing LED lighting fixtures experience abnormal noise due to the contact between the resin cover member's mounting portion and the metal fixture body, caused by thermal expansion differences.

Method used

The LED lighting device is designed with a specific configuration where the cover member's mounting portion is positioned between the side plate portion of the frame and the side portion of the fixture body, preventing direct contact and thus reducing noise.

Benefits of technology

This configuration effectively suppresses abnormal noises generated by the LED lighting device when attached to the fixture body, enhancing operational quietness and reliability.

Abstract

An LED lighting device (3) is provided with: a light source part (10); an elongate frame (20) having a main plate part (21) to which the light source unit (10) is attached; and an elongate cover member (30) attached to the frame (20). The frame (20) has a side plate part (24) extending toward the side opposite from the light emission side of the light source part (10). The cover member (30) has a main part (31) covering the light source part (10), and an attachment part (33) attached to the side plate part (24) and extending toward the side opposite from the light emission side of the light source part (10). When the LED lighting device (3) is attached to a fixture body (2), the attachment part (33) is positioned between the side plate part (24) and a side surface part (2f) of the fixture body (2). The LED lighting device (3) has a site located closer to the side surface part (2f) side of the fixture body (2) than to the attachment part (33).
