Definitions

  • the invention relates to a luminaire, in particular a room luminaire, with a plurality of illumination sources and with a diffusely light-scattering body provided on the emission side of the illumination sources.
  • DE 100 57 559 A1 discloses a non-generic photogenerating assembly having a plurality of illumination sources disposed at the bottom of apertures of a shadow mask on a circuit board and radiating only through the apertures of the shadow mask.
  • the openings bounding the openings of the shadow mask serve as reflectors for the radiation.
  • the openings are also filled or covered by a lenticular body, which can influence the emission direction.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a lamp with the one hand, a high directional illuminance can be achieved, on the other hand, but also a visually appealing radiation outside the directional radiation is possible.
  • a lamp of the type mentioned in the present invention that the light-scattering body has a plurality of extending to the emission side openings through which the illumination sources, forming a primary radiation radiate from the light-scattering material of the body substantially unhindered, and that Light, which is not emitted by the illumination sources through the widening openings as primary radiation, is introduced into the light-scattering body and is emitted by this as diffused secondary radiation.
  • a transparent, but nevertheless light-scattering body or a translucent body by providing the widening openings in such a way that it aligns radiation of the illumination sources in a predetermined main emission direction and does not substantially hinder it; this emitted in the main emission direction primary radiation of the illumination sources should thus not just scattered or substantially attenuated or weakened in any way.
  • the illumination power of the secondary radiation is particularly and preferably much lower than that Illumination power of the primary radiation. It is preferably only about 10 to 40%, in particular 10 to 30% of the illumination power of the primary radiation.
  • the secondary radiation illuminates the light-scattering body, and the light is emitted substantially homogeneously on all sides.
  • the illumination sources being arranged so that they emit in the direction of the respective main axis of the openings.
  • the major axes of the respective openings it would also be possible for the major axes of the respective openings to be slightly inclined relative to one another.
  • the main axes of the respective openings are slightly inclined away from each other, provided that a total directed primary radiation, but associated with a slight widening of the light cone, should be desired.
  • the openings or a part of the openings have a conically widening geometry, that are limited by a surface which corresponds to the inside of a cone or truncated cone.
  • the openings are bounded by flat flanks, so that they have a rather prismatic or pyramidal geometry.
  • Other shapes are also conceivable as long as a directed primary radiation of the illumination sources in a main emission direction can be realized through the respective openings.
  • the openings form an opening angle of 50 to 100 °, in particular from 50 to 90 °, in particular from 50 to 80 ° and more particularly from 50 to 70 °.
  • the openings on the side facing the illumination sources have a dimension of the opening area, that is to say a diameter of the clear cross-sectional area of 2 to 7 mm, in particular 2 to 6 mm, in particular 4 to 6 mm.
  • the light-scattering body preferably has a thickness in the direction of the main axis of the openings of 3 to 20 mm, in particular 3 to 15 mm, in particular 3 to 10 mm.
  • the openings on the side facing the illumination sources have a diameter of 5 mm and have an opening angle of 60 °.
  • the plate thickness of the body is for example 6 mm.
  • the openings then have on the emission side about 12 mm in diameter.
  • the openings form passage openings through the light-scattering body.
  • the illumination sources can be arranged on a support other than the light-diffusing body.
  • the light-scattering body can be placed as a cover on a the electrical components and the illumination sources receiving carrier of the lamp.
  • the luminaire can advantageously be provided as a flat surface-mounted luminaire on a wall or, preferably, on a ceiling. But it can also be designed as a floor lamp or table lamp or in any other form.
  • the diffusely light-scattering body may be plate-shaped, ie. H. have a greater than its thickness areal extent.
  • the thickness should, however, be chosen so that a directed primary radiation corresponding to the ideas can be achieved.
  • the previously stated dimension of the light-scattering body in the direction of the main axis and the openings may serve as a guide.
  • the light-scattering body may be formed by a solid colored satin material which is inherently colored. It can in particular and advantageously comprise a diffusely scattering plastic material or plastic glass, in particular PMMA. But it could also include paper or a cover made of paper or an open-pore wood material.
  • the light-scattering body can be colorless, white-diffuse or colored, for example red, green, blue or yellow. With colored training, the in distinguish the radiated secondary radiation color of the primary radiation.
  • the illumination sources are advantageously formed by LEDs, in particular so-called white-light LEDs.
  • the illumination sources are also advantageously provided in grid or array form.
  • the luminaire according to the invention comprises between 2 to 100, in particular 2 to 80, in particular 2 to 70, in particular 10 to 70, in particular 10 to 50 illumination sources.
  • a respective illumination source may comprise, for example, a PLCC6 housing with 2-4 LEDs, in particular with three LEDs.
  • the illumination sources are advantageously provided on a printed circuit board or a carrier in the broadest sense. On this carrier then the light-scattering body is preferably mounted without tools, in particular latched.
  • the figures show a generally designated by the reference numeral 2 lamp with a plurality of illumination sources 4, which are provided in an array on a printed circuit board 6. Radiating side to the illumination sources 4, a plate-shaped diffuse light scattering body 8 is provided. On the back of the circuit board 6, a support plate 10 of the lamp is provided in the form of a folded support plate against which the circuit board and the light-scattering body 8 can be mounted.
  • the illumination sources 4 are each formed in the form of a PLCC6 housing 12 with, for example, three LEDs incorporated therein and contacted with printed conductors of the printed circuit board 6, not shown.
  • the printed circuit board 6 itself comprises a flat aluminum plate 14, on the electrically insulated from the aluminum plate 14, the printed conductors, not shown, are provided.
  • the interconnects and PLCC6 housing are in turn covered with another electrically insulating coating 16 forming the visible side of the printed circuit board 6.
  • a plurality of openings 18 are provided correspondingly to the arrangement of the illumination sources 4.
  • the openings 18 are formed conically in the case shown by way of example and expand in the direction of radiation. They have an opening angle of 60 °.
  • the smaller diameter end 20 of the openings 18 with a diameter of the clear cross-sectional area of 5 mm covers the illumination sources 4 or aligned with the illumination sources 4, as can be seen in particular from Figures 2 and 3. Due to the widening openings 18, a largely directed primary radiation of the illumination sources 4 in the direction of a main emission direction 22 is achieved. In contrast, a small proportion of the radiation or illumination power of the illumination sources 4, which enters the light-diffusing body 8, in particular through the wall 24 delimiting the openings 18, is diffused. Therefore, the diffused light scattering body 8 appears uniformly illuminated.
  • the printed circuit board 6 carrying the illumination source 4 can be mounted on the carrier plate 10.
  • the plate-shaped light-diffusing body 8 with the openings 18 can be snapped onto the support plate 10 preferably without tools.
  • the entire luminaire can be applied directly to a flush-mounted box, in particular screwed over the support plate 10.
  • the other electrical components such as a 12 W converter, housed.
  • the lamp is screwed, for example by means of a screw on a cavity wall, in which case the converter is inserted into the cavity wall. Since the converter usually builds little deep and, for example, has only 22 mm height, a space-saving installation is conceivable.
  • the luminaire 2 with the components shown in Figure 1 has a construction height of, for example, only 10 mm with an edge length of about 100 to 155 mm. Using a total of 36 LED housings together, a power of, for example, 12 W can be achieved.
  • Figures 4, 5 and 6 show further embodiments of the plate-shaped light scattering body 8, in which the openings 18 have no conical, but rather a prismatic geometry.
  • the openings 26 of the body 8 according to FIG. 4 are delimited by flat flanks 28.
  • the openings 26 are delimited by planar flanks 28, as in FIG. 4, wherein the transition 29 between the flat flanks 28 is rounded.
  • the openings 30 of the body 8 according to FIG. 6 are delimited by a continuous rounded wall 32.
  • FIG. 7 shows an embodiment in which the light-scattering body 8 can also be formed by deep-drawing a flat material.
