BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In recent years, LED (light emitting diode) has been widely used in daily life due to its long service life, low energy consumption and obviously to saved energy. For example, some manufacturers have designed LED bulbs which can be directly mounted in common bulb sockets to replace such existing bulbs as tungsten lamps.
At present, an LED bulb available in the market comprises a lamp cap, a lampshade, an aluminum substrate and LEDS mounted and fixed on the aluminum substrate. The bottom end of the aluminum substrate is fixed with an aluminum alloy cooling device; the lamp cap is fixed at the bottom end of the aluminum alloy cooling device and the lamp cap is also electrically connected with the LEDS; and the lampshade is mounted and fixed at the top end of the aluminum substrate and used for shading the LEDS. When the LEDS illuminate, rays from the LEDS can be shone out through the lampshade so as to achieve the proposal of illumination. However, when the LED bulb works, as the LEDS can produce a large volume of heat, only when heat produced by the LEDS is radiated in time by the aluminum alloy cooling device located at the bottom end of the aluminum substrate, the normal working of the LEDS can be kept, or else, the service life of the LEDS may be shortened, even the LEDS may be damaged. Therefore, in the existing bulbs, LEDS are mounted and fixed on the aluminum substrate generally and an aluminum alloy cooling device is provided. However, as aluminum substrates and aluminum alloy cooling devices have relatively large weights and occupy certain volumes of the LED bulb, the existing LED bulbs have large weight, large volume and high production cost.

In one superior to implementation way, the components of the nitrogen-argon mixed gas include 30% of nitrogen and 70% of argon, nitrogen can transfer heat rapidly, while the most important function of argon is to increase the luminosities of the LED lamps besides heat transfer, argon makes LED lamps have greater luminosities and makes rays from the LEDS soft not dazzling. The nitrogen-argon mixed gas in the embodiment can transfer heat produced by the LEDS 3 to the lampshade 2 rapidly and then radiate heat by the lampshade 2. Of course, the nitrogen-argon mixed gas may have other mixed components, as long as the mixed components have heat transfer effect.
Of course, the mixed gas is one of nitrogen, argon, neon, krypton and xenon.
