  8. Lampe selon la revendication 7, caractérisée en ce que, à chaque point de sortie de lumière de la paroi latérale (12 ; 72, 76 ; 80), l'angle β est défini par la structure réfringente de telle sorte que des faisceaux de lumière, qui sortent sous l'angle β de la paroi latérale (12), arrivent sur le réflecteur (3).
  9. Lampe selon l'une quelconque des revendications 1 à 8, caractérisée en ce que la structure réfringente se compose d'éléments linéaires qui ont une section constante dans une coupe transversale perpendiculairement à la ligne que l'élément suit.
  10. Lampe selon la revendication 9, caractérisée en ce que les éléments ont une section se rétrécissant à partir d'un côté de base avec deux côtés qui se raccordent au côté de base, le total des angles, que les tangentes aux deux côtés passant par les points d'extrémité du côté de base forment avec le côté de base, se situant dans une plage de 85° à 130°.
  11. Lampe selon la revendication 10, caractérisée en ce que la section a une forme triangulaire et l'angle opposé au côté de base est de 90°.
  12. Lampe selon l'une quelconque des revendications 1 à 11, caractérisée en ce qu'une structure réfringente est conçue sur un côté d'une paroi du dispositif guidant la lumière qui part de la source lumineuse (1).

  14. Lampe selon l'une quelconque des revendications 1 à 13, caractérisée par un dispositif qui ne laisse pas passer ou laisse passer seulement partiellement de la lumière qui est émise par la source lumineuse (1) dans la direction de rayonnement de la fraction de lumière directe.
  15. Lampe selon la revendication 14, caractérisée en ce qu'un élément (40) réfléchissant ou partiellement réfléchissant et partiellement transparent est disposé entre le fond et la source de lumière ou est formé par le fond (14 ; 50 ; 82).
  16. Lampe selon la revendication 14 ou 15, caractérisée en ce qu'un élément (40) est disposé entre le fond (14 ; 52 ; 82) et la source lumineuse, lequel présente une structure réfringente qui ne laisse pas passer ou laisse passer seulement partiellement la lumière vers le fond (14 ; 50 ; 82) ou concentre de la lumière qui est passée sur une plage d'angle par rapport à une perpendiculaire à la surface de sortie de lumière.
