Abstract:
The luminaire has an elongate concave reflector (1) defining a light-emission window (2), means for receiving electrical fluorescent tubes (4, 5) and a row of lamellae (6) in the light-emission window (2). A prismatic reflector element (7) extends in the longitudinal direction of the reflector (1) and has its base (72) in the light-emission window (2) and its top (71) next to the fluorescent tubes (4, 5). The luminaire, when mounted to a ceiling, can suitably be used to illuminate vertical surfaces, while the floor is illuminated to a smaller extent only.
Abstract:
The invention provides in preferred aspects architectural lighting structures that comprise a plurality of tubular elements (56) at least partially embedded into an at least substantially transparent lens structure (60) of a lighting fixture (32). The lighting fixture (32) is typically a device employed for interior use, particularly residential buildings or commercial buildings such as office buildings. By partially embedding the array or plurality of tubular elements (56) into the transparent lens structure (60), the fixture (32) can appear as if it is substantially a part of the surrounding surface when the lighting fixture is turned off. Nevertheless, when the light is turned on, light coming from the fixture can still be directed or modified in an appropriate manner without detrimental light output reductions. Still further, while the light fixture is turned on, an unsightly bulb or glaring reflector can be masked from a viewer's eye as a result of the partially embedded tubular elements.
Abstract:
A spill shield comprises curved outer reflectors (2) and transverse lamellae (1) of approximately V-shaped cross-section perpendicular to the outer reflectors. Each transverse lamella is inserted in a corresponding recess in the outer reflectors. The walls (4, 5) of the transverse lamellae have stopping edges (6) on the top surface which rest against the inside of the outer reflectors. The transverse lamellae can be fastened to the outer reflectors simply and by machine. To this end, a stopping edge in the form of a straight nose (8) which can be inserted in the outer reflector is constructed on the bottom surface of the transverse lamellae and the walls of the transverse lamellae have outwardly directed shoulders (9) which pass through the recesses in the outer reflector and catch against the outside of the outer reflector.
