Nach dem Stande der Technik verwendet man für die Innenraumbeleuchtung in erster Linie Leuchten, die mit lichtstarken Leuchtmitteln, z. B. Glühlampen und/oder Entladungslampen bestückt sind. Darüber hinaus ist es bekannt, bei der Beleuchtung von Innenräumen mit einer großen Zahl von weniger leuchtstarken Glühlampen zu arbeiten, um den sogenannten Sternenhimmel-Effekt zu erzielen. Dieser Stemenhimmel-Effekt wird in der Regel mit lichtstarken Lichtquellen kombiniert, um eine ausreichende Raumausleuchtung zu erzielen.According to the state of the art one uses for the interior lighting in primarily luminaires that are equipped with bright bulbs, e.g. B. incandescent lamps and / or discharge lamps are fitted. In addition, it is known at lighting indoor spaces with a large number of fewer 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.

Nach dem Stande der Technik sind weiterhin Leuchtdioden bekannt. Leuchtdioden zeichnen sich durch eine besonders hohe spezifische Lichtausbeute aus, haben eine extrem lange Lebensdauer und werden neuerdings auch in verschiedenen Farben angeboten. Insofern kann man mit Leuchtdioden besondere, insbesondere auch dekorative Leuchteffekte erzielen. Leuchtdioden benötigen für ihren Betrieb allerdings einen konstanten Gleichstrom und haben einzeln nur eine geringe Lichtstärke.Light-emitting diodes 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.

Um dennoch lichtstarke Leuchten mit Leuchtdioden betreiben zu können, ist es beispielsweise in Bremsleuchten von Kraftfahrzeugen oder bei selbstleuchtenden Verkehrszeichen bekannt, eine Vielzahl von Leuchtdioden eng nebeneinander anzuordnen, so daß die nebeneinander befindlichen Leuchtdioden eine insgesamt hell erleuchtete Fläche ergeben.In order to still be able to operate bright lights with LEDs, it is for example in brake lights of motor vehicles or in self-illuminating Known traffic signs, a variety of light-emitting diodes closely to be arranged side by side, so that the light-emitting diodes next to each other result in an overall brightly lit area.

Nach dem Stande der Technik (US-PS 4 656 398) ist eine Leuchte bekannt, die einerseits eine innerhalb eines Schirmes angeordnete Glühlampe und andererseits an der Außenseite des Schirmes befestigte Leuchtdioden in unterschiedlichen Farben vorsieht, die mittels einer Steuerelektronik variabel ansteuerbar sind, um an der Außenseite der Leuchte variable farbige Lichteffekte zu erzielen. Weiterhin ist aus der US-PS 4 677 533 eine Leselampe bekannt, die einerseits eine Glühlampe und andererseits Leuchtdioden mit verschiedenen Leuchtfarben enthält, die gesondert ansteuerbar sind, um ein individuell einstellbares Mischlicht zu erzeugen.According to the prior art (US Pat. No. 4,656,398) a lamp is known which on the one hand an incandescent lamp arranged within a screen and on the other hand, LEDs attached to the outside of the screen in provides different colors by means of control electronics are variably controllable in order to be colored on the outside of the lamp To achieve lighting effects. Furthermore, from US Pat. No. 4,677,533 Reading lamp known, the one hand a light bulb and the other Contains light emitting diodes with different light colors separately can be controlled to generate an individually adjustable mixed light.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Decken-, Wand- oder Standleuchte für die Innenraumbeleuchtung mit neuartigen dekorativen Effekten zu schaffen, wobei außerdem die Montage und Demontage der Leuchte vereinfacht werden soll.It is an object of the invention to provide a ceiling, wall or floor lamp for the To create interior lighting with novel decorative effects, being in addition, the assembly and disassembly of the lamp should be simplified.

Gegenstand der Erfindung ist eine Decken-, Wand- oder Standleuchte für die Innenraumbeleuchtung mit Glüh- oder Entladungslampen einerseits und Leuchtdioden andererseits, die gemeinsam von einer in der Leuchte vorgesehenen, an das Stromversorgungsnetz anschließbaren Stromversorgungseinheit mit Strom versorgt werden, wobei eine die Leuchte begrenzende Begrenzungswand vorgesehen ist, in deren von außen sichtbarer Sichtfläche eine Vielzahl von mit Abstand zueinander angeordneten Öffnungen eingebracht ist, von denen einige zur Aufnahme von Glüh- oder Entladungslampen und andere zur Aufnahme von Leuchtdioden dienen, die von der Rückseite der Begrenzungswand her mit Strom versorgt worden, die dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, daß die Stromversorgungseinheit und die Verdrahtung von auf der Begren zungswand zusammengefaßten Leuchtmittelfassungen, welche zur Halterung und Kontaktierung der Glüh- oder Entladungslampen einerseits und der Leuchtdioden andererseits dienen, an der Rückseite der Begrenzungswand befestigt sind und eine leicht zu montierende und zu demontierende Baueinheit bilden.The invention relates to a ceiling, wall or floor lamp for Indoor lighting with incandescent or discharge lamps on the one hand and On the other hand, 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.

Die Decken-, Wand- oder Standleuchte gemäß der Erfindung vereinigt die durch Leuchtdioden erzielbaren besonderen Beleuchtungseffekte mit den üblichen Beleuchtungseffekten von Glüh- oder Entladungslampen. So kann beispielsweise in einer Deckenleuchte mittels der Leuchtdioden der eingangs erwähnte Sternenhimmel-Effekt erzielt werden und mit lichtstarken Glüh- oder Entladungslampen kombiniert werden, ohne auf eine gesonderte Stromversorgung für die Leuchtdioden angewiesen zu sein. Statt des Sternenhimmels können mit Hilfe der Leuchtdioden auch anderswo am Leuchtengehäuse Lichtpunkte oder Lichtpunktmuster vorgesehen werden, was eine ganze Palette von Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten eröffnet.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.

Dadurch daß die in der Leuchte gemäß der Erfindung befindliche Stromversorgungseinheit und die Verdrahtung der auf einer Begrenzungswand zusammengefaßten Leuchtmittelfassungen an der Rückseite der Begrenzungswand befestigt sind, wird eine Baueinheit gebildet, die sich leicht montieren und demontieren läßt. Dabei kann die Begrenzungswand jeweils ein Modul einer gegebenenfalls aus einer Vielzahl von solchen Modulen zusammengesetzten großflächigen Leuchte bilden.Characterized in that located in the lamp according to the invention Power supply unit and the wiring on a boundary wall summarized lamp holder on the back of the boundary wall are attached, a structural unit is formed, which is easy assemble and disassemble. The boundary wall can be one Module one possibly from a variety of such modules composite large-area lamp.

Damit die einzelnen Leuchtmittel besonders gut zur Geltung kommen, besteht die Begrenzungswand zweckmäßig aus undurchsichtigem Material. Die undurchsichtige Begrenzungswand bewirkt, daß alle Leuchtmittel, das heißt sowohl die Glüh- oder Entladungslampen, als auch die Leuchtdioden vor einem dunklen Hintergrund strahlen, so daß die oben angesprochenen Effekte besonders gut zur Geltung kommen.So that the individual illuminants come into their own particularly well 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.

Zweckmäßigerweise verlaufen die Lichtaustrittsflächen der Leuchtmittel etwa in der Ebene der Sichtfläche der Begrenzungswand oder stehen geringfügig über diese hinaus, derart, daß die Fassungen der Leuchtmittel unsichtbar bleiben. Auf diese Weise wird die undurchsichtige Begrenzungswand zugleich der Träger für die verschiedenen Fassungen, wobei nur die Lichtaustrittsflächen der Leuchtmittel sichtbar bleiben.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.

Gegebenenfalls können die Lichtaustrittsflächen der Öffnungen mittels durchsichtiger Schutzscheiben abgedeckt sein, um die Leuchtmittel gegen Beschädigungen oder Verschmutzung zu schützen.If necessary, the light exit surfaces of the openings can be transparent protective panes to be covered against the illuminant Protect damage or pollution.

Die Sichtfläche der Begrenzungswand ist vorteilhaft als Dekorfläche mit einer behandelten oder beschichteten Oberfläche ausgebildet.The visible surface of the boundary wall is advantageous as a decorative surface with a treated or coated surface.

Zweckmäßigerweise weist bei der erfindungsgemäßen Leuchte die Stromversorgungseinheit eine Konstantstromquelle zum Betrieb von Leuchtdioden sowie einen Konverter für Niedervolt-Halogenlampen oder ein Vorschaltgerät für Entladungslampen auf. Eine derart ausgestaltete Stromversorgungseinheit macht es auf einfache Weise möglich, einerseits Leuchtdioden und andererseits Niedervolt-Halogenlampen oder Entladungslampen von ein und derselben Stromversorgungseinheit mit Strom zu versorgen. Dabei können gegebenenfalls beide Stromkreise getrennt voneinander schaltbar sein, beispielsweise um eine besonders stromsparende Notbeleuchtung nur mit den Leuchtdioden zu realisieren. In the luminaire according to the invention, 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.

Die Konstantstromquelle weist zweckmäßig eine Gleichrichterschaltung auf, in deren Ausgang eine Reihe von parallelen Widerständen angeordnet ist, von denen jeder einen Ausgang für den Konstantstrom bildet. An jedem dieser Ausgänge können in Reihe mehrere Leuchtdioden angeschlossen werden. Dabei muß darauf geachtet werden, daß nicht zu wenige Leuchtdioden in Reihe geschaltet werden, damit gewährleistet ist, daß die Spannung an den einzelnen Leuchtdioden nicht höher als die zulässige Flußspannung ist. Wenn demgegenüber zu viele Leuchtdioden in Reihe geschaltet werden, wird die Flußspannung der einzelnen Leuchtdioden unterschritten, was zu einer geringeren Lichtausbeute führen würde.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. 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.

Um den Verdrahtungsaufwand für die einzelnen Stromkreise der Leuchtdioden möglichst gering zu halten, ist weiterhin vorgesehen, daß alle Ausgänge der Konstantstromquelle eine gemeinsame Masse (Minuspol) aufweisen. Alternativ können natürlich auch alle Ausgänge der Konstantstromquelle einen gemeinsamen Pluspol haben.To the wiring effort for the individual circuits of the LEDs To keep it as low as possible, it is also provided that all outputs of the Constant current source have a common ground (negative pole). alternative can of course all outputs of the constant current source have a common positive pole.

Damit die Leuchtdioden nicht falsch gepolt in die Fassungen eingesetzt werden können, ist weiterhin vorgesehen, daß die Fassungen für die Leuchtdioden jeweils eine die falsche Polung verhindernde Codierung aufweisen.So that the LEDs are not inserted in the sockets with the wrong polarity can, it is also provided that the sockets for the light emitting diodes each have a coding that prevents incorrect polarity.

Die Glühlampenfassungen 5 und die Leuchtdiodenfassungen 10 sind so angeordnet, daß die Lichtaustrittsflächen der Glühlampen 4 einerseits und der Leuchtdioden 9 andererseits geringfügig über die Sichtfläche 2 der Begrenzungswand 1 vorstehen oder allenfalls mit dieser in einer Ebene liegen. Auf jeden Fall ist die Anordnung so, daß die Glühlampenfassungen 5 bzw. die Leuchtdiodenfassungen 10 von der Sichtseite der Begrenzungswand 1 her unsichtbar bleiben. Die Leuchtdioden 9 können beliebigen Gruppierungen angeordnet sein und auch unterschiedliche Farben haben, so daß sich reizvolle Beleuchtungseffekte ergeben. Die Öffnungen 3 und/oder mehr 8 können gegebenenfalls mittels durchsichtiger Schutzscheiben abdeckt sein.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.

Zur gemeinsamen Stromversorgung von allen auf der Begrenzungswand 1 angeordneten Glühlampen 4 und Leuchtdioden 9 dient eine Stromversorgungseinheit 11, die an das nicht dargestellte Stromnetz anschließbar ist. Diese Stromversorgungseinheit 11 ist auf der Rückseite 7 der Begrenzungswand 1 montiert und über eine entsprechende, ebenfalls an der Rückseite 7 der Begrenzungswand 1 befestigte Verdrahtung mit den Glühlampenfassungen 5 und den Leuchtdiodenfassungen 10 verbunden.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.
