Definitions

  • the invention relates to a luminaire with a rod-shaped, in particular horizontally arranged light source, with on both long sides of the light source extending from below to above it, such concave, in particular parabolically curved side reflectors that all light beams emitted transversely to the light source directly or after reflection under one Exit a horizontal steeper angle than a luminaire-specific blanking angle a in the transverse direction, with an anti-glare reflector arranged below the light source in such a way that all light rays emitted in the longitudinal direction of the light source exit directly or after reflection at an angle steeper than the luminaire horizontally than a luminaire-specific blanking angle ⁇ in the longitudinal direction, as well as two voice reflectors connecting the side reflectors on the front.
  • Such a lamp is known from European publication 0 122 972.
  • the design of the side reflectors of this known lamp ensures that when viewing the lamp in the transverse direction of the light source up to a certain angle to the horizontal, the blanking angle or, no disturbing glare occurs due to light falling directly from the light source into the eye of the beholder.
  • the anti-glare reflector arranged below the light source serves to suppress direct light in the longitudinal direction of the light source up to a certain angle to the horizontal, the cut-out angle ⁇ .
  • the known luminaire thus creates uniform and practically interference-free lighting, but it has the disadvantage that the anti-glare reflector arranged below the light source consists of slats extending transversely to the vertical central longitudinal plane of the light source, which extend between the side reflectors and are fastened to them.
  • this training makes the manufacture of the lamp very complex and expensive, since many individual parts have to be produced and subsequently assembled.
  • the manufacture of the slats is particularly complex, since they are approximately V-shaped in cross section with reflective and concavely curved side surfaces. This training requires expensive manufacturing tools.
  • the present invention therefore has for its object to provide a lamp of the initially described type, which ensures both a very good dimming of emitted in the transverse and the longitudinal direction of the light source, is also such simple construction as' that it inexpensive to manufacture as well as being easy to replace the light source and easy to clean the reflectors.
  • the anti-glare reflector consists of a strip-shaped flat material and extends at a short distance below the light source parallel to it between the stimulus reflectors, the width of the anti-glare reflector ⁇ the width of the vertical projection of the light source and the anti-glare reflector in its area has a plurality of light exit openings.
  • the anti-glare reflector of the lamp according to the invention is thus filter-like.
  • the luminaire-specific cut-out angle ⁇ is determined in the longitudinal direction between the horizontal and a straight line running in the longitudinal direction of the light source through two edges of a light exit opening that are diagonally opposite one another in the longitudinal section of the cut-off reflector.
  • the anti-glare reflector arranged below the light source covers the light source from below, but vertical light emission is guaranteed through the light exit openings, whereby good efficiency is maintained.
  • the configuration of the light exit openings according to the invention ensures a fade-out effect, in particular in the longitudinal direction, but also in the transverse direction of the light source, the fade-out angle being determined by the dimensions of the light exit openings.
  • the dimensions of the light exit openings are influenced in particular by their vertical length and their horizontal area. Therefore, the desired blanking angle ⁇ in the longitudinal direction, but also the blanking angle o a in the transverse direction, can advantageously be ensured by special shaping of the light exit openings.
  • the anti-glare reflector according to the invention runs without contact to the side reflectors between them, so that the inner surfaces of the side reflectors are smooth and thus easy to clean. But also the anti-glare reflector itself is due to its stripe-shaped Training easy to clean, wherein it is advantageously releasably attached to the forehead reflectors with its narrow edges. It is therefore very easy to change the light source, since only the anti-glare reflector needs to be removed, for example, to be folded down.
  • the anti-glare reflector is very easy to manufacture, for example from sheet metal by a single stamping process. It is therefore very inexpensive to manufacture. Its attachment to the lamp is also unproblematic, since it only needs to be attached to the front reflectors of the lamp with its narrow edges.
  • a luminaire according to the invention has a rod-shaped, horizontally arranged light source 1 - (fluorescent tube).
  • the side reflectors 2, 3 can be designed symmetrically (FIG. 1) or asymmetrically (FIG. 2) with respect to the longitudinal vertical center plane 5.
  • the side reflectors 2, 3 determine a fade-out angle a in the transverse direction of the light source 1.
  • This angle a lies between the horizontal 6 and a connecting line 7 forming a tangent to the light source 1 between the lower edges 8 of the side reflectors 2, 3 and the lower periphery of the light source 1
  • the curvature of the side reflectors 2, 3 ensures that light rays, even after reflection on the reflective inner surface of the side reflectors 2, 3, always exit from the luminaire according to the invention at a steeper angle than the angle a (see the indicated light rays 11 in FIGS. 1 and 12 in Fig. 2).
  • the lamp according to the invention also has two end reflectors 13, 14 which connect the side reflectors 2, 3 on the end face.
  • the light source 1 is held in the usual way by sockets 15, 16.
  • a dimming reflector 17 is arranged below the light source 1, which according to the invention consists of a strip-shaped flat material and is located at a short distance below the light source 1 parallel to it between the end reflectors 13 , 14 extends.
  • the width of the anti-glare reflector 17 corresponds at least to the width of the vertical projection of the light source 1, since this covers the light source 1 over the entire area from below. So that there is no loss of light due to this cover, but instead the luminaire according to the invention maintains a high degree of efficiency, the anti-glare reflector 17 according to the invention has a large number of light exit openings 18 in its surface.
  • a blanking angle ⁇ in the longitudinal direction between the horizontal 6 and a lengthwise direction of the light source is determined by two straight lines 21 running diagonally opposite one another as seen in the longitudinal section of the anti-glare reflector 17 (see FIGS. 3 and 4).
  • the width of the anti-glare reflector 17 is ⁇ the distance, measured perpendicular to the central plane 5 running vertically between the side reflectors 2, 3, of two connecting lines 22, each forming an upper tangent of the light source 1, between the light source 1 and the lower edges 8 of the Side reflectors 2, 3.
  • the anti-glare reflector 17 has a diffusely or specularly reflecting surface 23 at least on its side pointing in the direction of the light source 1. Furthermore, it is advantageous in this embodiment if the anti-glare reflector 17 is only in the Area of its surface determined by vertical projection of the light source 1 has light exit openings 18, while its edge areas 24 are free of openings. The opening-free edge regions 24 thus serve to cover and dazzle the light source 1 and to reflect part of the light, but also give the dimming reflector 17 the necessary stability. In the event that the side reflectors 2, 3 are asymmetrical (FIG. 2), the anti-glare reflector 17 can also have edge regions 24 of different widths.
  • the light exit openings 18 are preferably evenly distributed, arranged in a grid-like manner on the specified surface area of the anti-glare reflector 17, and can be designed as punched-outs with a round cross section (FIGS. 4a and b).
  • the light exit openings 18 can be formed as deep-drawn impressions with a preferably round cross section and preferably annular edge webs 25 (FIGS. 4c to f).
  • the anti-glare angle ⁇ in the longitudinal direction but of course also an anti-glare angle in the transverse direction, since the anti-glare reflector 17 is arranged below the light source 1. It may therefore be advantageous for certain applications to design the light exit openings 18 with a cross-section other than round in order to ensure that light beams emitted in the longitudinal direction pass through the light exit openings 18 at a different angle than light beams emitted in the transverse direction. Possible cross sections of the light exit openings 18 are oval or rectangular, for example.
  • a special design of the light exit openings 18 can thus also achieve that the desired fade-out angle a in the transverse direction between the horizontal 6 and one in the transverse direction of the light source 1 through two diagonally opposite edges of a light exit opening 18 as seen in the cross section of the dipped reflector 17 (see For example, straight line 7 in FIG. 1) is determined.
  • the side reflectors 2, 3, which previously determined the angle ⁇ could be shortened in their vertical extent compared to the embodiment shown, as a result of which the manufacturing costs of the luminaire according to the invention could advantageously be further reduced due to material savings.
  • the anti-glare reflector 17 advantageously consists of sheet metal, in particular aluminum sheet, or else of a reflectively coated plastic.
  • the anti-glare reflector 17 is detachably fastened according to the invention with its narrow edges 26 to the end reflectors 13, 14, so that it can be easily removed for changing the light source 1.
  • it can be pivotally mounted on one side of one of the end reflectors 13, 14, while its other narrow side has means for latching with the opposite end reflector 13 or 14.
