Definitions
- the invention relates to a reflector arrangement for an artificial light having a spectrum corresponding to natural daylight.
- Light source preferably a fluorescent tube with at least partially arranged and adjustable reflector elements around the light source.
- a corresponding reflector arrangement can be found in DE-GM 18 03 911.
- the reflector arrangement is arranged in a street lamp in order to be able to adapt the light intensity distribution of each individual lamp to the respective street conditions by adjusting the individual reflector elements designed as mirrors.
- the individual mirrors arranged on a ring around the lamp are adjusted once after the lamp has been set up, in order, as mentioned, to be adjusted to the desired road conditions.
- GB-PS 97 40 shows a reflector arrangement for artificial light which consists of individual reflectors arranged in a ring around a light source, which can be pivoted in such a way that the lamp illuminates either a ceiling or a floor of a room.
- US Pat. No. 40 74 • 127 shows a lighting arrangement with which the lighting conditions of day and night can be simulated.
- OMPI In this case, only the degree of brightness is to be understood under lighting conditions.
- the simulation takes place in that a rod-shaped lamp is surrounded by a rotatable reflector which has a slot and which, depending on the desired time of day to be replicated, does not, partially or completely, cover the radiation emitted by the lamp.
- the object of the present invention is to design a reflector arrangement of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that the biological effects of artificial light sources are improved in such a way that in particular the color temperature of the light coming from the light source corresponds to the course of the day of natural daylight, that is to say the natural circadian - rhythm is mimickable.
- each reflector element is a prism-shaped body rotatable about its longitudinal axis and extends along the longitudinal axis of the light source, with at least two of the body side surfaces having a different geometry with different optical properties .
- the optical property or effectiveness means that in particular the color temperature of the reflected light can be changed in order to correspond to the course of the day of natural light.
- the reflector elements by adjusting the reflector elements relative to one another and optionally aligning the differently reflecting body side surface in addition to changing the color temperature, it is ensured that the illuminance is reproduced in accordance with daylight.
- the individual reflector elements can be controlled synchronously, if necessary by a pre-programmed control mechanism, so that the natural course of daylight is simulated. The monotonous illuminance and color temperature of the known artificial light sources are thereby prevented.
- the reflector elements can be aligned in a controlled manner to the light source in such a way that even the passage of clouds or the like is simulated, for example by reproducing shorter periods of time with less illuminance.
- the prism-shaped body is a triangular prism, the three side surfaces of which are provided with a geometry which differs from one another, the optical effectiveness of which is likewise chosen differently.
- one of the side surfaces is convex and preferably shows a structured surface.
- This convex side surface which is red or at least has a red tint, ensures that the red component of the light originating from the artificial light source is increasingly reflected, whereas the UV component of the spectrum is reflected less.
- This convex red side surface of the triangular prism is intended to ensure that the color temperature is in the range of approx. 3500 Kelvin lies.
- the convex shape also shows that the degree of reflection is lower compared to flat or concave surfaces.
- the second side surface is flat according to the teaching according to the invention, shows a yellow color in order to reflect the UV radiation particularly well and to increase the color temperature to a total of approximately 4500 ° K. Thanks to the level design, the illuminance of the light from the artificial light source can be approx. 12% to be raised.
- the third side surface is concave, that is, it shows the highest degree of reflection and has a silver color - this is made possible by a special aluminum alloy, in particular a magnesium one.
- Aluminum alloy Scotland- so as on the one hand sized to the brightness of a maxim and on the other to increase the color temperature of approximately 5400 K. This also ensures the highest UV reflection from the reflector surfaces.
- the illuminance can be varied by up to + 25% by the surface of the reflector element facing the light source, this is also done by changing the free clear distance between adjacent edges of reflector elements arranged next to one another during the turning process, so that this automatically increases or decreases the reflectance.
- the direct radiation originating from the artificial light source can additionally be changed with regard to the illuminance and color temperature by arranging foils and / or adjustable reflectors, for example in the form of blinds.
- the reflector arrangement is preferably intended for a fluorescent tube which can be operated with smoothed direct current, the polarity of the lamp electrodes being reversed during operation.
- this reduces the power consumption by an estimated 37% compared to the known fluorescent tubes that are operated exclusively with alternating current (on the one hand by increasing the lumens / wattage by 20%, on the other hand the power consumption is reduced by 17% compared to known circuits) , and on the other hand increases the biological effect of corresponding lamps by approx. 300% by eliminating the negative effects such as optical flickering, electromagnetic interference fields, etc.
- a fluorescent tube such as that which is on the market under the name True Lite and which almost completely emits the natural sunlight spectrum including the UVA and UVB components, should be used.
- Fig. 1 a fluorescent tube provided with a reflector arrangement according to the invention
- FIG. 2 in an enlarged view the reflector arrangement according to FIG. 1,
- FIGS. 2 and 3 are a detailed representation of a reflector element according to FIGS. 2 and
- Fig. 4 shows an alternative embodiment of a reflector arrangement according to FIG. 1.
- an artificial light source in the form of a fluorescent tube 12 surrounded by a reflector arrangement 10 is shown.
- the reflector arrangement 10 is located in a lamp housing 13, which can be attached to a ceiling or suspended from it, for example.
- the reflector arrangement 10 consists at least partially in the form of a ring around the fluorescent lamp 12, for example on an imaginary cylinder jacket or another curved surface, so as to modify and reflect the radiation from the fluorescent lamp 12 to the desired extent with regard to the color temperature and brightness to be able to.
- the reflector elements 14 are formed by prism-shaped bodies, as is particularly illustrated in FIG. 3. which have bearing pins 16 and 18 at their ends, by means of which they can be mounted in the housing 13. Further
- OMPI can be arranged from the bearing pins 16 and / or 18, for example, friction wheels or the like, which interact with the adjacent reflector element, for example via a geared motor 20 provided on one end face of the housing 13, a controlled and synchronous rotation of the reflector elements 14 to allow.
- E gears can be arranged between the individual friction wheels, if necessary, in order to be able to rotate the reflector elements 14 at the same time but in the opposite sense.
- the control of the individual reflector elements 14 can be programmed in order to ensure alignment to the fluorescent lamp 12 to the desired extent, which ultimately determines the illuminance and the color temperature of the emitted radiation.
- each reflector element 14 which is preferably a triangular prism with differently shaped side surfaces 22, 24 and 26.
- the different design of the side surfaces 22, 24, 26 is intended to ensure, in addition to a different optical effect to be described with respect to the incident radiation, that the radiation originating from the artificial light source in the form of the fluorescent lamp 12 is varied in terms of illuminance and / or color temperature, that the daily routine of the natural Lich is simulated.
- the surface 22 is concave in relation to the fluorescent lamp 12, is preferably silver-colored by means of a special aluminum alloy such as, for example, a magnesium-aluminum alloy and has optical properties which ensure that the illuminance increases and a color temperature of that of the
- the fluorescent lamp 12 is set to approximately 5400 ° K.
- the side surface 24, on the other hand, is planar, although it likewise reflects the UV radiation well, but to a lesser extent than the concave surface 22, and sets the color temperature of the emitted light to approximately 450.degree.
- the flat surface is also yellow and semi-glossy. These properties are preferably also achieved by a special aluminum alloy.
- the third surface 26 is convex and increasingly reflects the red component of the light coming from the fluorescent lamp 12, with a reduced UV reflection taking place at the same time compared to the surface 24. Because of the convex shape, the reflected light component perceived by the surface 26 is the smallest in comparison to the reflection components of the other surfaces 22 and 24. Furthermore, the convex surface is red and structured, which also reduces the degree of reflection.
- the alignment of the individual reflector elements 14 on the fluorescent lamp 12 thus ensures that the emitted light corresponds to the natural light of a course of the day, so that the natural biological-physiological rhythm is ensured.
- the distance between the edges of each reflector element 14 lying on a circle is approximately 18 mm, the distance between the fluorescent lamp surface and the closest reflector element being approximately 40 to 50 mm.
- a hexagonal prism can also be used as the reflector element, the diametrically arranged side surfaces being chosen to be identical in their geometry and optical properties.
- the direct radiation originating from the fluorescent lamp can be additionally influenced in terms of illuminance and / or color temperature by provided foils or reflectors 28, in order, if necessary, to be able to fine-tune the emitted radiation to that of natural daylight and its course.
- the reflector arrangement 10 according to the invention is preferably intended for a fluorescent lamp 12 which is supplied with a smoothed direct current.
- the fluorescent lamp can be supplied by a rectifier circuit connected to the network, as described in European patent application 0062269 by the same applicant.
- the voltage originating from this rectifier circuit is largely smoothed out, so that, inter alia, the electromagnetic interference or optical flickering which occurs in the known fluorescent tubes is avoided, as a result of which physiologically negative effects on the people working with such fluorescent tubes are prevented.
- the rectifier circuit is followed by a periodically operating pole reversal relay in order to ensure periodic pole reversal during operation, thereby avoiding cataphoresis.
