  • the Illuminated space limited by at least one mirror and at least one perforated sheet.
  • one or more Perforated sheet (s) with one or more mirrors (s) appear in the effect light to reflection effects.
  • This is how the viewer looks when he, for example from the outside through the transparent areas of the outer perforated plate 1 looks into the illuminated room according to FIG. 3, facing the interior Side of a perforated plate or its image in the mirrors 4, be it by one-time reflection of the side of the interior facing Perforated plate 1, 2 or by multiple mirroring on several mirrors 3, 4, whose reflective side always faces the interior.
  • the viewer gains the visual impression that the space is exclusive limited by perforated sheets (Fig. 4).
  • the inner one, bent longitudinally at right angles Perforated plate 2 appears as a cuboid due to the reflection.
  • the horizontal Mirrors 3 reproduce the cylinder and the cuboid in the depth. This is how a perforated sheet metal block of infinite length appears in one Perforated sheet metal cylinder to float, which is also infinitely long seems.
  • the effect lamp according to DE 38 25 991 A1 thus produces very special optical effects based on the use of mirrors.
  • an effect light to create other optical without the use of mirrors Effects are realized.
  • the viewer can be optically captivatingly convey font, image and / or color information, which vary depending on the lighting conditions within and outside the effect light and the position of the viewer with respect to it change dynamically.
  • the lighting of the base plate and the Perforated sheets enter the information attached to this to the eye of the viewer differently visible. So that's on the Base plate to see existing information particularly clearly, if the lighting is outside the effect light, that is the lighting of the room in which it is located is very small. Vice versa outweighs the visibility of the information on the perforated plate, if this external lighting is very intense. There is external lighting by daylight and / or artificial light.
  • the visual perception of the individual information of the effect lamp also changes for the viewer in that it changes its location changed with respect to the same.
