Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a luminaire with a direct to the bottom emitted light and a to Upper side emitted indirect light, comprising at least one aligned in the longitudinal direction of the housing Bulbs, as well as at least one prism cover below of the bulb.
  • Luminaires in which prism covers are used, the are arranged below the bulb, have been longer Time known in the art.
  • the use of a Art prism cover for the radiated downwards Light component in a so-called direct / indirect light is also known and is for example in the utility model DE 299 03 298 U1.
  • This is one comparatively flat fixture that is suspended from the ceiling Pendant luminaire emits an indirect light component upwards, which contributes to the general room lighting. In which from the lamp directly to the bottom emitted light is it important in such a suspended luminaire, that a good glare is provided.
  • a standard Luminaire for lighting, for example, office space should have a glare of those lights that under Angle exit from the lamp, which are shallower than 65 ° to Vertical, since such flat radiated light portions persons who work on computer screens.
  • the immediately emerging from the fluorescent lamps down Proportion of light directed through a luminaire grid is the immediately emerging from the fluorescent lamps down Proportion of light directed through a luminaire grid.
  • Alternatively can also be a prismatic structure for a targeted and glare-free Light distribution can be used.
  • plate-shaped light distribution elements with hollow chambers, that scatter the light. These light distribution elements with Scattering structure are in the side to the area in which the fluorescent lights are located, adjacent areas used.
  • the task of present invention therein a luminaire of the aforementioned To create type, the further improved glare characteristics has at the same time high luminous efficacy with respect to the bottom emerging from the lamp Light component.
  • At least one first Prismatic cover with a substantially longitudinal direction of the Illuminant-oriented prismatic structure is provided, and at least one second prism cover having a substantially aligned transversely to the longitudinal direction of the bulb Prism structure, wherein the second prism cover the first prism cover at least partially covered.
  • the two prism covers are predominantly or preferably almost completely overlap or overlap.
  • the first prism cover is therefore preferably in appropriate Distance below the lamp or arranged and the second prism cover can be more or less large Distance again arranged below this first prism cover become. Is a flat as possible construction of the lamp aspired, is preferably the second lower prism cover comparatively close under the first upper prism cover arranged.
  • the first prism cover preferably has underside and preferably extending in the longitudinal direction of the luminous means Prismatic structures on. These prism structures are preferably designed such that in cross section of the Prism cover, that is so transverse to the longitudinal direction of the Prism structures results in a tooth profile. Preferably it is a sawtooth profile or triangular tooth profile, wherein a symmetrical tooth profile shape is particularly preferred. Preferably the prism edges span an angle ⁇ (see FIG. 2) from 80 to 100 °, d. H.
  • the downward pointing priming surfaces are at 40 to 50 ° to the horizontal center of the lamp inclined, so that essentially orthogonal to the Prism cover striking light by double reflection is directed at the prism surfaces in the upper half space, so that the luminance of the prism plate is immediately below the bulb is reduced.
  • prism edges are flattened, so that in Cross-section transverse to the prism structure a trapezoidal structure so that the orthogonally incident light is not complete is deflected into the upper half-space.
  • the flattening can be the proportion of not in the top Half space deflected light set.
  • the flattening is rounded, preferably in the form of a circular arc (in cross-sectional view, radius R in Fig. 2), so that the continuous light is fanned out.
  • the prism structure can be a more or less strong tread depth exhibit. It is essential that the tread depth is not too is chosen large, because otherwise below the light can depict a stripe structure. Through a profile depth of 0.5 to 2 mm (H in Fig. 2), preferably less than 1.5 mm comes at a distance of no more than 10 cm from the underside of the luminaire no longer for the formation of such strip structures.
  • the first, preferably upper prism cover may preferably have a substantially flat plate shape.
  • the lower, preferably second prism cover may preferably a convex vaulted seen from the lamp base
  • the curvature radius of the Convex convex body can be 6 to 10 times the Diameter of the fluorescent tube amount, the distance the longitudinal central axis of the fluorescent tube from the longitudinal center line of the arched body preferably about 1.7 to 2.5 times the diameter of the fluorescent tube corresponds.
  • the side longitudinal edges of the first and touch second primer cover or have only a small distance on.
  • the prism structure of the second prism cover preferably has a larger prism angle.
  • the Angle between the prism surfaces 110 to 130 ° (angle ⁇ in Fig. 3), more preferably 115 to 125 °, preferably without flattening or rounding of the prism edges.
  • the prism covers are made of highly transparent material like glass or plastics, such as acrylic glass.
  • the length of the luminaire corresponds to the length of the luminaire Fluorescent tube plus the extension at both ends necessary finishing elements.
  • the horizontal transverse dimension may be 5 to 12 times the lamp diameter.
  • the luminaire according to the invention is preferably a pendant luminaire, In principle, however, comes a combination of prism covers according to the present invention, for example in a floor lamp into consideration.
  • the inventively preferred Pendant lamp is open above the bulb, so that part of the light emitted by the bulb including that deflected upwards from the first prism cover Light shines against the ceiling and from there as indirect diffused light contributes to room illumination.
  • the lamp according to the invention can also be a cultivation or Recessed luminaire with lateral light distribution chambers, the lateral vertical, the fluorescent tube facing, transparent, diffuse scattering light entry surfaces, an upper as a reflector trained cover and lower, converging to the side the reflector approximated transparent, diffusely scattering, have curved light emitting surfaces.
  • the invention in such recessed or surface mounted lights it is advantageous for aesthetic reasons, even the second Insert prismatic cover in the basic shape of a flat plate. This results because the two prism covers tight can lie on one another, a particularly low overall height Lamp.
  • both prismatic covers with curved ones Form basic structure, in particular with curvature in same direction.
  • Will the first prism cover with level Top and convex arched underside formed, wherein the prism structure is rotated with the curvature radius can a particularly good Abstrahlwinkelbegrenzung of the light source achieved with a flat angle emitted light become.
  • illuminants are used in a luminaire according to the invention preferably fluorescent lamps, one, two or more Fluorescent lamps can be used, preferably in Lenght of the lamp running and parallel to each other arranged. Especially with lights with two or more Fluorescent lamps may be advantageous down in Direction of the prism covers radiated light through a arranged above the first prism cover teilverLitete To soften the film.
  • asymmetric design of the prism structure asymmetric radiating lights available too places, for example, lights that are near room walls be attached with an asymmetric down and to equip the room wall directed lighting profile, as it Close to the wall does not depend on glare when here do not stop people.
  • the luminaire 1 essentially consists of a fluorescent lamp 2, a luminaire housing 3, a first primer cover 4 and a second prism cover 5.
  • the fluorescent lamp 2 on a suspension, not shown below the ceiling mounted lamp 1 radiates on the one hand straight up against the ceiling for indirect diffuse Room lighting.
  • the down at large opening angle on the first prism cover 4 radiated light is due to the prism diffraction on the one hand to a narrower angle, predominantly preferably deflected below 65 ° to the vertical center of the luminaire and to the Part deflected upwards, taking at this first prism cover 4 substantially no narrowing of the radiation angle takes place in the longitudinal direction of the lamp 1.
  • a second, preferably convexly curved from the room, Prism cover 5 is provided, the prism structure across the Prism structure of the first cover 4 is formed and the Therefore, a narrowing of the radiation angle in the longitudinal direction of the Light causes.
  • the first prism cover 4 a flat top and a bottom with one Prism structure on.
  • the prism structure consists of parallel to the bulb elongated prism faces, which together form an angle ⁇ of 40 to 50 ° and their prime edges by a rounding with the radius R, for example, 0.2 can be up to 0.7 mm, flattened.
  • the profile depth H The prisms can be, for example 0.5 to 1.5 mm, the Extension L of the flat flank surfaces of the prisms can be 0.2 to 1.2 mm.
  • the second prism cover has according to FIG. 3 an angle ⁇ between the downwardly directed prism edges from 110 to 125 °.
