Definitions

  • the invention relates to a ceiling, wall or floor lamp for interior lighting, with incandescent or discharge lamps on the one hand and light emitting diodes on the other hand, together from one provided in the lamp the power supply network connectable power supply unit with electricity are supplied, with a boundary wall delimiting the lamp is provided, in the visible from the outside, a variety of with Distance from each other is introduced, some of which for receiving incandescent or discharge lamps and others for receiving LEDs are used from the back of the boundary wall Electricity are supplied.
  • the interior lighting in primarily luminaires that are equipped with bright bulbs, e.g. B. incandescent lamps and / or discharge lamps are fitted.
  • B. incandescent lamps and / or discharge lamps are fitted.
  • Luminous bulbs work to the so-called starry sky effect to achieve.
  • This starry sky effect is usually associated with bright light sources combined to provide adequate room lighting to achieve.
  • LEDs are also known from the prior art. LEDs are characterized by a particularly high specific light output from, have an extremely long lifespan and are new also offered in different colors. In this respect, you can use LEDs achieve special, especially decorative lighting effects. LEDs however require a constant direct current for their operation and have individually only a low light intensity.
  • the invention relates to a ceiling, wall or floor lamp for Indoor lighting with incandescent or discharge lamps on the one hand and
  • light-emitting diodes which are jointly provided by a power supply unit connectable to the power supply network be supplied with power, one limiting the lamp Boundary wall is provided, in the visible surface from the outside introduced a plurality of spaced-apart openings is, some of which are for receiving incandescent or discharge lamps and others are used to hold light emitting diodes from the back of the Boundary wall forth have been powered, which is characterized is that the power supply unit and the wiring of on the limit tongue wall summarized lamp holder, which for mounting and contacting the incandescent or discharge lamps on the one hand and the Light-emitting diodes on the other hand serve on the back of the boundary wall are attached and an easy to assemble and disassemble form.
  • the ceiling, wall or floor lamp according to the invention combines the special lighting effects that can be achieved with LEDs with the usual lighting effects of incandescent or discharge lamps. So can, for example, in a ceiling lamp by means of the LEDs starry sky effect mentioned above can be achieved and with bright Incandescent or discharge lamps can be combined without being on a separate Power supply for the LEDs to be instructed. Instead of Starry skies can also be found elsewhere using the LEDs Luminaire housing light spots or light spot patterns are provided what opens up a whole range of design options.
  • the boundary wall can be one Module one possibly from a variety of such modules composite large-area lamp.
  • the boundary wall suitably made of opaque material.
  • the opaque boundary wall causes all illuminants, that is both the incandescent or discharge lamps, and the light emitting diodes in front of you dark background shine, so the effects mentioned above come into their own particularly well.
  • the light exit surfaces of the illuminants expediently run about or in the plane of the visible surface of the boundary wall slightly beyond this, such that the sockets of the lamps stay invisible. This way the opaque boundary wall at the same time the carrier for the different versions, whereby only the The light exit surfaces of the illuminants remain visible.
  • the light exit surfaces of the openings can be transparent protective panes to be covered against the illuminant Protect damage or pollution.
  • the visible surface of the boundary wall is advantageous as a decorative surface with a treated or coated surface.
  • the power supply unit expediently has a constant current source for operating light-emitting diodes and a converter for low-voltage halogen lamps or a ballast for discharge lamps.
  • a power supply unit designed in this way makes it possible in a simple manner to supply light on the one hand with light-emitting diodes and, on the other hand, low-voltage halogen lamps or discharge lamps from one and the same power supply unit. In this case, if necessary, both circuits can be switched separately from one another, for example in order to implement particularly energy-saving emergency lighting only with the light-emitting diodes.
  • the constant current source expediently has a rectifier circuit, in the output of which is arranged a series of parallel resistors, from each of which forms an output for the constant current.
  • a rectifier circuit in the output of which is arranged a series of parallel resistors, from each of which forms an output for the constant current.
  • On each of these Outputs can be connected to several LEDs in series. Care must be taken to ensure that there are not too few LEDs in series are switched to ensure that the voltage at the individual LEDs are not higher than the permissible forward voltage. If in contrast, too many LEDs are connected in series, the The forward voltage of the individual light-emitting diodes fell below, resulting in a would result in lower light output.
  • the sockets for the light emitting diodes each have a coding that prevents incorrect polarity.
  • the boundary wall (panels) that delimit the ceiling light is in in their entirety with the reference number 1.
  • the boundary wall 1 consists of an opaque sheet and is on its visible surface 2 with with a decorative coating or with a machined surface.
  • the boundary wall 1 there are four large ones at a distance from one another circular openings 3 for receiving light bulbs 4, which in the embodiment are designed as low-voltage halogen lamps.
  • the light bulbs 4 are each held by light bulb sockets 5, with mounting brackets 6 are attached to the rear 7 of the boundary wall.
  • the Light-emitting diodes 9 are each held by light-emitting diode holders 10, which in the openings 8 are attached.
  • the light-emitting diode sockets 10 are like this Coded that the light emitting diodes 9 only in the correct one Polarity can be used in the LED socket 10.
  • the light bulb sockets 5 and the light emitting diode sockets 10 are arranged that the light exit surfaces of the light bulbs 4 on the one hand and the Light-emitting diodes 9, on the other hand, slightly over the visible surface 2 of the boundary wall 1 protrude or at most lie in one plane with it. On in any case, the arrangement is such that the bulb holder 5 and the Light-emitting diode sockets 10 from the visible side of the boundary wall 1 stay invisible.
  • the light emitting diodes 9 can have any groupings be arranged and have different colors, so that attractive Illumination effects result.
  • the openings 3 and / or more 8 can if necessary, be covered by transparent protective screens.
  • a power supply unit 11 For the common power supply of all on the boundary wall 1 arranged light bulbs 4 and LEDs 9 is used for a power supply unit 11, which can be connected to the power grid, not shown.
  • This Power supply unit 11 is on the rear 7 of the boundary wall 1 mounted and via a corresponding, also on the back 7 of Boundary wall 1 attached wiring to the bulb holder 5 and the light emitting diode sockets 10.
  • the power supply unit 11 contains a constant current source 12 for Supply of the LEDs 9 and a converter 13 for the supply of low-voltage halogen lamps, which means here the incandescent lamps 4.
  • the Constant current source 11 contains a rectifier circuit 14, in the Output a series of parallel resistors 15a, 15b, 15c etc arranged each of which forms an output for a constant current. All Outputs of the constant current source 11 have a common ground 16 (Negative pole) to the wiring effort for the light emitting diode sockets 10 reduce. Alternatively, of course, all outputs could have a common one Have positive pole.
  • the boundary wall the luminaire has a wide variety of shapes, for example domed, prismatic etc.
  • circuits for the supply of incandescent or discharge lamps 4 on the one hand and the light emitting diodes 9 on the other hand by means of suitable Switches can be designed separately to be switched on and off.
