Abstract
A lighting apparatus of the present invention comprises: a substrate; a semiconductor light emitting device mounted on the substrate; a resin layer formed on a mounting surface of the substrate and having a lens portion that seals the semiconductor light emitting device; and a reflecting plate. Here, the reflecting plate and the resin layer are positioned with a space therebetween. Herewith, it is possible to offer a lighting apparatus which (i) has high luminance, (ii) causes sufficient heat release, and (iii) is less likely to cause detachment of the resin layer.
