摘要:
An omnidirectional (360°) light is provided comprising a fixed, unidirectional light source (29) (including IR and UV sources as well as visible light) providing a unidirectional incident light beam (36) incident upon two or more, oppositely directed reflective surfaces (22,24) on a rotatable reflector (18) and inclined to the incident beam, preferably at 45°, to provide two or more reflected beams, directed radially away from the axis of rotation of the reflector and radially spaced one from the other at preferably 180°. Four or more reflective surfaces may be used to provide, for example, four reflected beams at 90° to each other. The reflector (18) is rotatable at high speed about the axis of rotation by a motor to cause the reflected beams each to sweep a 360° arc about the axis of rotation, the speed of rotation being such that the light appears continuous.

摘要:
A modular lighting system for illuminating products supported upon various vertically arranged shelves of a display unit includes a housing attached to a first shelf, with the housing including at least one transparent panel which permits an internal illumination source to light products supported upon at least one of the first shelf, a shelf arranged directly above the first shelf and a shelf disposed directly below the first shelf. Most preferably, the light illuminating from the housing is directed so as to effectively, entirely illuminate product support surfaces associated with both the first shelf and the shelf directly below such that the display of products supported anywhere from the front to the back of these shelves is enhanced. This front-to-back lighting function can be achieved in various ways, such as by employing direct, reflective and refractive lighting techniques.
摘要:
A non-imaging optical system (10) for processing a first and second light distribution. The optical system (10) includes at least two refractive surfaces (28, 32) and a reflective surface (38) with these surfaces (28, 32, 38) cooperating to redirect bright edge rays (24) of the first light distribution to an area of the edge of the second light distributor with only a single reflection from the reflecting surface (38).
