AI summary

A lighting apparatus includes a light source module, a driver, an electrical pin, a neck structure, a light passing cover and a base container. The light source module includes a LED module. The driver converts an external power source to a driving current supplied to the LED module. The electrical pin is to be plugged to an electrical socket to connect to the external power source. The neck structure has a light opening and a buckle groove. The light passing cover has a connector attached to the buckle groove. A light is emitted from the LED module passes through the light opening to the light passing cover. The base container contains the light source module and the driver. The base container fixes the electrical pin to have an exposed portion to be inserted to the electrical socket.
