Definitions

  • the present invention relates to lighting systems with a led light source, and in particular antidazzle devices for led light sources, capable of limiting the possibility of the light of said sources excessively illuminating areas of the visual field of an observer causing him discomfort or a reduction in his visual perception.
  • led light emission diodes
  • Lighting devices are currently available which have faced this problem by applying a glazed and/or embossed finishing on the front glass of the devices, which, by diverting and attenuating the light beam emitted, contributes to reducing the dazzle generated by the single light sources.
  • These solutions on the contrary, considerably reduce the maximum intensity emitted along the optical axis. This means that the greatest visual comfort has been reached to the detriment of the photometric performances of the lighting device.
  • Document EP 0 683 355 describes a car lamp having a prism which bends back the incident light beams emitted by a light source and reflected by a main reflector towards additional reflectors.
  • the additional reflectors re-transmit the light beams forwards through a lens so as to achieve a uniform illumination of the lens.
  • the sides of the prism that do the bending are silvered reflective surfaces.
  • a main objective of the present invention is therefore to provide an antidazzle device for led light sources which does not limit their photometric performances.
  • a further objective of the present invention is to provide an antidazzle device for led light sources wherein the objective is reached simply and economically, without requiring substantial modifications of the structure of the lighting system, with respect to the solutions already present on the market.
  • an antidazzle device 1 is applied to a led source 2, above which there is a lens 3 whose function is to converge the light beam generated by the led 2 in a defined direction.
  • the antidazzle device 1 comprises a main shielding body 4, made of an opaque material, preferably black.
  • the shielding body 4 assists in ensuring the coupling between the led source 2 and the lens 3, as it is equipped in its lower part with a taper seat 5 for the housing of the led source 2, and with its side wall 6, it defines a seat for the lens 3.
  • the main function of the side wall 6, however, is to shield the light emitted from the led light source and directed along directions whose angle with respect to the axis A-A is perpendicular or in any case higher than a certain value.
  • the figure also shows that a second shielding body 7, made of an opaque material, preferably black, is assembled above the lens 3.
  • the shielding body 7 shown has a side wall 8, which forms an extension and consequently a further lateral shielding with respect to that of the side wall 6 of the main shielding body 4, and which prevents the light coming from the peripheral portions of the lens 3 from directly striking the eyes of an observer standing to the side of the lighting system.
  • the shielding body 7 shown in the figure is further equipped with median walls and in particular with a tubular element 9, arranged in a central position, whose diameter has reduced dimensions with respect to the perimeter of the shielding body 7.
  • the dimensions of the tubular element 9 are such as to adapt themselves to an indentation 10 of the lens 3, corresponding to the upper portion of the led source 2.
  • the function of the cylindrical element 9 is, in particular, to adequately shield the portion of the lens 3 in which there is the greatest concentration of luminous flow emitted from the led light source 2.
  • the tubular element 9 is made integral with the side wall 8 of the shielding body 7 by means of two arms 11.
  • the median walls can consist of one or more concentric rings, circular or polygonal, and can also have a honeycomb shape and their distance, in a plan or raised view, from the led light source 2, as also their height, depend on the shielding angle to be obtained.
  • the shielding body 7 is completed by two tongues 12, at whose ends there is a tooth 13, for the clip-on coupling with a taper seat 14 of the main shielding body 4.
  • this shows a different embodiment of the led lighting system with an antidazzle device according to the present invention.
  • a lighting system is shown, equipped with three led light sources 2, each of which has a lens 3.
  • a mask 15 in the place of three separate shielding bodies 7 and completely similar to those shown with reference to figures 1 and 2 .
  • the particular embodiment shown in figure 3 can make it convenient to resort to shielding and coupling systems between the components of the lighting system which are different from those shown in figures 1 and 2 .
  • a single main shielding body can be envisaged, or various shielding bodies of the same type as those shown in figures 1 and 2 , in any case also capable of coupling the remaining components of the lighting system to the mask 15.
  • the antidazzle device of the present invention forms a solution for a simple and economical production and handling.
