ABSTRACT:
A long light emitting apparatus is durable, emits light that can be seen from any direction, and has a low power consumption. The long light emitting apparatus is realized by providing a plurality of LED lamps (light emitting diodes) connected in series at intervals on a connection line. The LED lamp includes an epoxy resin bulb-shaped portion, two leads, and an LED chip connected to the two leads and embedded into the bulb-shaped portion. The surface of the bulb-shaped portion is etched, cut, cut like a diamond, coated with small particles, or covered with an optically-diffusing material so that the emitted light can be diffused and emitted in all directions except backward from the base of the LED lamp. The thus processed surface of the LED lamp can emit light in all directions to be seen from any direction as in the case where filament lamps are used. Since an LED element is used as a light source and the LED lamps are made of resin, the LED lamp is durable. Therefore, the long light emitting apparatus can be easily stored and handled, has a low total power consumption, and is an economical apparatus.
