Abstract
A light source arrangement includes a cell body having a concave light projecting surface and a semi-spherical reflective cavity surrounded by the light projecting surface, a light source unit including at least two terminal electrodes extended therefrom and at least a luminary element for emitting light when the terminal electrodes are electrified, and a supporting frame having a predetermined width mounted on the cell body to support the light source unit at a focus point of the reflective cavity in such a manner lights emitted from the light source unit are accumulatively collected and reflected by the reflective cavity to outside. Heat is efficiently dissipated by the supporting frame when a larger current is applied to the light source arrangement. Therefore, up to five luminary elements are adapted to be supported in the light source unit for increasing the light intensity of the light source arrangement.
