  • the optical properties of the luminaire can be easily changed by attaching a profile 34 of the same dimensions, in which optical components with other photometric properties are accommodated, to the housing part 52. This makes it possible to provide luminaires with different optical properties not only different luminaires with the same housing part, but in particular to use a single housing part 52 for different luminaires, in which the electrical components, such as the ballast 54, are already pre-installed.
  • the reflector 32 and the lamp 3 with the associated lamp sockets (not shown) connected to the housing part 52, so that when removing the profile 34, the plate 30, the walls 7 and Reflector 14 are removed and the lamp 3, which remains at the housing part 52, is exposed.
  • the reflector 32 may be releasably connected to the housing part 52 in a suitable manner, so that by removing the reflector 32 then on electrical components, such as the ballast 54, can be accessed.
  • FIG. 8 largely corresponds to the embodiment of FIG. 7.
  • the profile 34 is provided on its underside with prisms 15 which, like the walls 9 and the plate 30 in the embodiment of FIG. are provided on the outwardly facing side and have a point angle w of 116 °.

  • the two legs 62 are connected to each other by an intermediate portion 64, are formed on the projections 66, behind which the reflector 14 is latched.
  • the reflector 32 is arranged higher with respect to the housing part 52 and the bottom of the profile 34, so that light, which is irradiated into the cavity 5, incident on the translucent side walls 40 of the profile 34.
  • the prisms 42 provided there can be designed so that they direct a proportion of luminous flux laterally to the ceiling or in another desired area.
  • a comparison of Figs. 7 and 8 shows that the same profile 34 can be used for the realization of lights regardless of whether they give off a luminous flux component or not.
  • the lateral edge of the reflector 32 could lie between the two positions shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 so that only part of the side wall 40 of the profile 34 is incident with light which has been coupled into the cavity.
  • the reflector 32 is connected to the housing part 52 in a suitable manner, for example by latching in the edge regions, as has been explained above.

  • a lamp 3 which is associated with a reflector 80 which is located on the side facing away from the hollow profile 70 side of the lamp 3 and at its lower end to those formed by the walls 72 and 74 Tip of the hollow profile 70 connects.
  • the reflectors 80 have the task of reflecting light of the lamps 3 to the light entry wall 74.
  • they also have the task, in particular in their upper part of the light of the lamp 3 to the hollow profile 70 over to reflect upward. The proportion of light reflected in this way can be used for indirect illumination.
  • the width b of the hollow profile 70 may for example be 130 mm and the height h of the hollow profile may be, for example, 36 mm, wherein the entire luminaire may have a width B of about 330 mm.
  • FIG. 10 and 11 show asymmetrical embodiments of a luminaire according to the invention. These embodiments have a cavity 5, which is formed by a covered profile.
  • the body having the cavity is realized in a similar manner as shown in Fig. 5.
  • Corresponding parts are provided with the same reference numerals as in FIG. 5. More precisely, the light entry wall 7 and the light exit wall 9 are formed by an angled profile 85, which, however, unlike the profile of FIG. 5, has an angle of 90 ° between the wall 7 and the wall 9.
  • Both the wall 7 and the wall 9 are provided with prisms as previously mentioned with reference to Fig. 7 and illustrated in Fig.
  • a reflector 90 and 92 On the side remote from the hollow profile 5 side is in each case a reflector 90 and 92.

  • this reflector In the lamp-near region, this reflector is formed so that it reflects a part of the light to the wall 7.
  • the reflector below the lamp 3 may have a kink 94.
  • the reflector 92 is bird-wing-like with a tip 96 near and above the lamp and open both up and down. In this case, by reflection on the upper branch 98a of the reflector 92 light is emitted upwards for indirect illumination, while by reflection at the lower branch 98b, a direct proportion of light is emitted downwards.
  • electrical components such as a ballast 100, may be attached to a suitable support structure 102, 104, respectively.
  • twin-lamp can also be designed as a single lamp and vice versa.
  • the prismatic structures on the walls 7, 62 and 74 are parallel to the lamp axis, according to another embodiment may also be provided that they extend perpendicular to the lamp axis. In this case they preferably have the same apex angle w as the prisms at the bottom, namely 116 °.
