Abstract

An LED tube has a tube body, an LED light board and two caps. The tube body has a translucent tube shell and a heat dissipating seat. The translucent tube shell has two openings and a gap. The heat dissipating seat is mounted in the gap. The LED board faces toward the translucent tube shell and has a convex luminous surface obliquely facing toward the translucent tube shell to increase an illumination range of the LED light board, thus, an illumination angle of the LED tube in accordance with the present invention is also increased. Therefore, the LED tube glows evenly and eliminates grain effects of the LED tube.
