Definitions
- the present invention relates to a luminaire according to the preamble of claim 1, which comprises means for holding and for electrically connecting at least one elongated light source and a light influencing element arranged next to the light source.
- the present invention relates to a luminaire in which a grid arrangement is arranged consisting of a plurality of so-called cell grid elements in the vicinity of a light source, which serves to capture the light emitted from the light source into a plurality of light bundles.
- a lamp with the mentioned cell grid elements is for example from the DE 101 51 958 A1 the applicant known.
- the - arranged in light emission direction - arranged in front of the light source cell grid elements consist of a light source at least partially encompassing back reflector part, which has a plurality of passage opening, which is followed by smaller cup-like reflectors.
- the light emitted by the light source is radiated individually over the pot reflectors, so that overall the impression arises as if a multiplicity of small spotlights or spots were arranged next to one another.
- the effort to achieve this visually appealing effect is significantly less than the actual use of a plurality of individual emitters.
- lamps of the company NORKA known in which an elongated light source is surrounded by a transparent, oval in cross-section lamp cover.
- the cover is rotatably mounted at their front ends, so that the light emission characteristic of the lamps can be influenced to a certain extent by pivoting the cover.
- a corresponding lamp is for example in the DE 199 11 347 A1 shown.
- a lighting device is known with a light source, in which a reflector is divided into a plurality of sub-reflectors, which are arranged directly surrounding the light source pivotally, whereby the radiation of the light source is simultaneously steered in different directions.
- the present invention has for its object, starting from the known lights to provide additional measures by which the lighting properties of the lights and their applications are further improved.
- the main idea of the present invention is to arrange the cell grid elements in or on the luminaire such that they are independently pivotable or rotatable about an axis extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the light source. This further enhances the impression that the lamp would have a plurality of individual spots, since a typical feature of individual spotlights or spots is that they can be adjusted or rotated or pivoted.
- the possibility of pivoting is now also created in a luminaire whose light source is formed for example by an elongated fluorescent tube.
- the present inventive concept is not limited to the pivoting of cell grid elements, but can generally be applied to so-called light influencing elements, with the help of which the light emitted by a light source is to be influenced in some way. It would also be conceivable, for example, to arrange suitable color filters, perforated grids or other lighting components rotatable about a light source in order to be able to influence the light emission characteristic of the entire luminaire in the desired manner.
- a luminaire is accordingly provided with means for holding and electrically connecting at least one elongated light source and with a light source element arranged next to the light source and formed from a plurality of individual elements, the individual elements forming the light influencing element being independent of each other about a substantially parallel to Longitudinal axis of the light source extending axis on a cylinder-like, the light source at a distance surrounding bearing part are pivotally or rotatably arranged, which is transparent.
- a bearing part for holding the light-influencing element is preferably provided, to which the light-influencing element or the individual elements for example, can be postponed or snapped.
- the bearing part is also provided to support the light-influencing element forming individual elements rotatably mounted on the bearing part.
- the bearing part is designed like a cylinder, so that a simple pivoting of the individual elements can be performed independently.
- the bearing part is formed by a translucent, preferably transparent element.
- This may, for example, be a so-called protective tube for luminaires of a higher protection class, since this fulfills the stated requirements very well.
- a tube is for example from the EP 0 400 318 B1 the applicant known.
- Such protective tubes are available in large numbers and inexpensive to manufacture.
- the individual elements of the light-influencing element can then be clipped onto this cylindrical or cylinder-like protective tube, for example in the form of larger cell grid modules or as individual cells.
- the clip connection allows the light-influencing element or its parts to rotate freely, for example by 180 °. Since the protective tube is transparent over its entire circumference, the light emitted by the light source can enter the protective tube in any position of the light-influencing element.
- the protective tube used as a bearing part can be held for example by a device carrier or a cantilever and can - as already mentioned - also be rotatably arranged on this.
- a further advantageous embodiment of the invention is that between the light-influencing element and the support member, a kind of locking connection is provided, which allows a rotation only in certain angular ranges or in certain steps. This makes it possible to make the pivoting or rotation of the light influencing element or of the individual elements reproducible.
- a scaling can be provided by means of which the pivoting of the individual elements to a desired value can be carried out in a simple manner.
- the present invention thus provides the possibility of influencing light elements with regard to an elongate light source to orient in any way. If cell grids with individual reflectors are used as light-influencing elements, then effects with regard to the changeability of the light emission characteristic of the luminaire can be achieved, which hitherto existed only when using a plurality of individual spots.
- a lamp 1 comprises two elongate light sources 2 in the form of fluorescent tubes, which are arranged parallel to each other and at their end faces in each case - in the FIGS. 5 and 6 shown - sockets are held, which are arranged on two end portions 3 of the lamp 1. Between the two light sources 2 and parallel to these extends in the present embodiment nor a center support 4, which has a square cross-section and can be used for example for the arrangement of operating devices for the two fluorescent lamps 2. For example, electronic ballasts could be arranged to drive the fluorescent lamps 2 within this carrier 4.
- a grid arrangement generally designated by the reference numeral 10.
- this grid assembly 10 is formed by a plurality of cell grid elements 15, their configuration Fig. 4 can be removed.
- a single grid element 15 initially consists of a pot-shaped reflector 16, which adjoins a cross-sectionally approximately semicircular designed back reflector 17, which surrounds the lamp 2 at least partially.
- the back reflector 17 has a - in Fig. 5 shown - passage opening 17a, to which the top reflector 16 connects, which in turn forms an approximately circular light exit opening 18 on its underside.
- Cell grid elements of this type are, for example, from those already mentioned above DE 101 51 958 A1 the applicant known. The peculiarity of these elements is that they emit the light of a single light source in the form of multiple bundles of rays, so that the impression arises as if a large number of light spots arranged side by side.
- FIG. 1 Such as the representation in Fig. 1 can be removed, in the illustrated lamp 1 per fluorescent lamp 2 each ten cell grid elements 15th provided, each having a single top reflector 16. These cell grid elements 15 are at least partially spaced from each other, wherein the gap between two elements in this case is then bridged by a tubular or in cross-section at least semicircular cover member 11 which is opaque. This ensures that light is emitted to the bottom side only via the pot reflectors 16 of the cell grid elements 15.
- the illustrated cell grid elements 15 with individual reflectors could also - as from DE 101 51 958 A1 known - modules with several juxtaposed pot reflectors are used.
- a special feature of the luminaire 1 according to the invention is that - as in the Fig. 2 and 3 shown - the individual cell grid elements 15 are not fixed in a specific orientation on the lamp 1, but instead can be pivoted or rotated in a certain angular range.
- this pivot or rotation axis coincides approximately with the longitudinal axis of the corresponding light source 2. This possibility of pivoting was previously only in the use of individual light spots.
- the particular type of storage of the cell grid elements 15 is that they are held on a separate bearing part 5, which surrounds the light source 2 at a distance and is transparent to the emitted light rays.
- This bearing part 5 may be, for example, a transparent protective tube made of plastic, as it was previously intended only for use in luminaires with a higher degree of protection.
- the protective tube 5 is held in the end parts 3 of the lamp 1, wherein the rotation of the lamp and thus the assembly or disassembly of the same is made possible by means of a special sleeve 5a.
- a cell grid element 15 is now snapped onto the support member 5 with the semicircular or partially cylindrical back reflector 17 and can then be pivoted in an arbitrary manner about the longitudinal axis of the lamp 2 as shown.
- the protective tube 5 has a cylindrical outer side, it is ensured that in each position of the cell grid element 15 light passes through the passage opening 17a of the back reflector 17 and over the Top reflector 16 can be issued. Although no spot lamp is used, this can ensure that a focused light is actually emitted in the desired direction via the cell grid element 15.
- the back reflector 17 of the illustrated cell grid element 15 has an opening at its top, that is not a closed hollow cylinder. Since the back reflector 17 is flexible at least to a certain extent, this ensures that the cell grid element 15 can be snapped onto the protective tube 5 in a simple manner in a simple manner. As a result, a particularly simple assembly of the cell grid elements 15 is thus made possible.
- Fig. 7 the emission of light in a direction opposite to the pot reflectors 16 direction could also be prevented by an alternative solution that in Fig. 7 is shown.
- the back reflector 17 as well as in the Fig. 4 and 5 not completely closed.
- the still open part of the rear reflector 17 is now bridged by an additional, in cross-section circular arc-shaped head reflector 20, which is designed to be reflective or at least opaque.
- This Kopreflector 20 can be applied to the carrier part 5 after snapping the cell grid element 15 and has for this purpose at its two ends in each case two clamping parts 21, by means of where the head reflector can be snapped onto the back reflector 17.
- the head reflector 20 Upon pivoting of the cell grid element 15, the head reflector 20 is simultaneously rotated in this case.
- the bearing part 5 has a smooth outer surface, so that the cell grid elements 15 can be pivoted continuously and in any desired manner. Often, however, it is desirable to make the pivoting of the light influencing elements reproducible, so that a uniform alignment of the individual elements can take place. This possibility is created by a variant with regard to the storage of the cell grid elements 15, which in the Fig. 8 and 8a is shown.
- the outer surface of the bearing part 5 is not completely smooth, but instead has a knob-like protrusion 6 at a certain point.
- a plurality of recesses 19 or notches are arranged, in which the protrusion 6 of the carrier part 5 can engage.
- preferred positions are formed, in which the cell grid element 15 can be rotated and locked with the bearing part 5.
- a reproducible adjustment of the various elements is thereby significantly simplified.
- a scale or scaling could also be attached to the cell grid element 15, via which the current angular position can be read, so that a uniform alignment of the elements is further simplified.
- This scaling could of course also in the variant according to Fig. 6 be used, in which a continuous rotation of the cell grid elements 15 is provided.
- stepwise rotation of the cell grid element could also be achieved that the support member 5 is not completely cylindrical, but instead, for example, designed only in the form of a cylinder in the form of a polygon. Also in this case, a stepwise rotation of the cell grid elements could be ensured with a corresponding embodiment of the back reflector 17 and the holding part for the light influencing element.
- the cell grid elements can each be adjusted individually and individually relative to the transparent bearing part.
- a pivoting of the entire arrangement is provided, for which purpose not the cell grid elements individually but instead the entire bearing part to the Longitudinal axis of the light source can be rotated.
- the bearing part for the cell grid elements was always arranged concentrically to the light source, so that the pivot or rotation axis coincided with the longitudinal axis of the light source.
- the light source rather in the lower region of the protective tube and accordingly to slightly shift the pivot axis relative to the lamp axis.
- the arrangement of the light center in the vicinity of the back reflectors of the cell grid elements would even be advantageous in this context.

Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Leuchte gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1, welche Mittel zum Halten und zum elektrischen Anschließen zumindest einer länglichen Lichtquelle sowie ein nächst der Lichtquelle angeordnetes Lichtbeeinflussungselement aufweist. Insbesondere betrifft die vorliegende Erfindung eine Leuchte, bei welcher eine Rasteranordnung bestehend aus mehreren sogenannten Zellenraster-Elementen in der Nähe einer Lichtquelle angeordnet ist, welche dazu dient, das von der Lichtquelle abgegebene Licht in mehrere Lichtbündel zu fassen.The present invention relates to a luminaire according to the preamble of claim 1, which comprises means for holding and for electrically connecting at least one elongated light source and a light influencing element arranged next to the light source. In particular, the present invention relates to a luminaire in which a grid arrangement is arranged consisting of a plurality of so-called cell grid elements in the vicinity of a light source, which serves to capture the light emitted from the light source into a plurality of light bundles.

Es sind ferner Leuchten der Firma NORKA bekannt, bei welchen eine längliche Lichtquelle von einer transparenten, im Querschnitt ovalen Lampenabdeckung umgeben ist. Die Abdeckung ist an ihren Stirnenden drehbar gelagert, so dass durch ein Verschwenken der Abdeckung die Lichtabstrahlcharakteristik der Leuchten zu einem gewissen Grad beeinflußt werden kann. Eine entsprechende Leuchte ist beispielsweise in der
Aus der
Die Aufgabe wird durch eine Leuchte mit den Merkmalen des unabhängigen Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.The object is achieved by a luminaire with the features of the independent claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.
Der Hauptgedanke der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, die Zellenraster-Elemente derart in bzw. an der Leuchte anzuordnen, dass sie um eine parallel zur Längsachse der Lichtquelle verlaufende Achse unabhängig voneinander schwenk- bzw. drehbar sind. Hierdurch wird der Eindruck, die Lampe würde mehrere einzelne Spots aufweisen, weiter verstärkt, da ein typisches Merkmal einzelner Strahler oder Spots darin besteht, dass diese verstellbar bzw. dreh- oder schwenkbar sind. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Maßnahme wird die Möglichkeit des Verschwenkens nunmehr also auch bei einer Leuchte geschaffen, deren Lichtquelle beispielsweise durch eine längliche Leuchtstoffröhre gebildet wird.The main idea of the present invention is to arrange the cell grid elements in or on the luminaire such that they are independently pivotable or rotatable about an axis extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the light source. This further enhances the impression that the lamp would have a plurality of individual spots, since a typical feature of individual spotlights or spots is that they can be adjusted or rotated or pivoted. By the measure according to the invention, the possibility of pivoting is now also created in a luminaire whose light source is formed for example by an elongated fluorescent tube.
Der vorliegende Erfindungsgedanke ist allerdings nicht auf das Verschwenken von Zellenraster-Elementen beschränkt, sondern kann allgemein auf sogenannte Lichtbeeinflussungselemente angewendet werden, mit deren Hilfe das von einer Lichtquelle abgegebene Licht in irgendeiner Art und Weise beeinflußt werden soll. Denkbar wäre es beispielsweise auch, geeignete Farbfilter, Lochgitter oder andere lichttechnische Bausteine drehbar um eine Lichtquelle anzuordnen, um die Lichtabstrahlcharakteristik der gesamten Leuchte in gewünschter Weise beeinflussen zu können.However, the present inventive concept is not limited to the pivoting of cell grid elements, but can generally be applied to so-called light influencing elements, with the help of which the light emitted by a light source is to be influenced in some way. It would also be conceivable, for example, to arrange suitable color filters, perforated grids or other lighting components rotatable about a light source in order to be able to influence the light emission characteristic of the entire luminaire in the desired manner.
Erfindungsgemäß wird dementsprechend eine Leuchte mit Mitteln zum Halten und zum elektrischen Anschließen zumindest einer länglichen Lichtquelle sowie mit einem nächst der Lichtquelle angeordneten und aus mehreren Einzel-Elementen gebildeten Lichtbeeinflussungselement vorgeschlagen, wobei die das Lichtbeeinflussungselement bildenden Einzel-Elemente unabhängig voneinander um eine im wesentlichen parallel zur Längsachse der Lichtquelle verlaufende Achse auf einem zylinderartigen, die Lichtquelle mit Abstand umgebenden Lagerteil schwenk- bzw. drehbar angeordnet sind, welches lichtdurchlässig ist.According to the invention, a luminaire is accordingly provided with means for holding and electrically connecting at least one elongated light source and with a light source element arranged next to the light source and formed from a plurality of individual elements, the individual elements forming the light influencing element being independent of each other about a substantially parallel to Longitudinal axis of the light source extending axis on a cylinder-like, the light source at a distance surrounding bearing part are pivotally or rotatably arranged, which is transparent.
Hierbei ist vorzugsweise ein Lagerteil zum Halten des Lichtbeeinflussungselements vorgesehen, auf welches das Lichtbeeinflussungselement bzw. die Einzel-Elemente beispielsweise aufgeschoben oder aufgeschnappt werden können. Es besteht nunmehr auch die Möglichkeit, das Lagerteil selbst drehbar anzuordnen, was zur Folge hat, dass das - beispielsweise aus einzelnen Zellenraster-Elementen - bestehende Lichtbeeinflussungselement insgesamt verschwenkt bzw. verdreht werden kann. Ergänzend hierzu ist allerdings auch vorgesehen, die das Lichtbeeinflussungselement bildenden Einzel-Elemente selbst drehbar auf dem Lagerteil zu lagern. Hierzu ist das Lagerteil zylinderartig ausgestaltet, so dass ein einfaches Verschwenken der einzelnen Elemente unabhängig voneinander durchgeführt werden kann.In this case, a bearing part for holding the light-influencing element is preferably provided, to which the light-influencing element or the individual elements for example, can be postponed or snapped. There is now also the possibility of rotatably arranging the bearing part itself, which has the consequence that - can be pivoted or rotated altogether - existing light influencing element - for example, from individual cell grid elements. In addition to this, however, it is also provided to support the light-influencing element forming individual elements rotatably mounted on the bearing part. For this purpose, the bearing part is designed like a cylinder, so that a simple pivoting of the individual elements can be performed independently.
Das Lagerteil wird durch ein lichtdurchlässiges, vorzugsweise transparentes Element gebildet. Hierbei kann es sich beispielsweise um ein sogenanntes Schutzrohr für Leuchten höherer Schutzklasse handeln, da dieses die genannten Anforderungen sehr gut erfüllt. Ein derartiges Rohr ist beispielsweise aus der
Auf dieses zylinderförmig oder zylinderartig ausgestaltete Schutzrohr können dann die einzelnen Elemente des Lichtbeeinflussungselements aufgeklipst werden, beispielsweise in Form von größeren Zellenraster-Modulen oder als Einzelzellen. Die Klipsverbindung erlaubt es, das Lichtbeeinflussungselement bzw. dessen Teile frei um beispielsweise 180° zu drehen. Da das Schutzrohr über seinen gesamten Umfang lichtdurchlässig ist, kann das von der Lichtquelle abgegebene Licht in jeder Position des Lichtbeeinflussungselements über das Schutzrohr in dieses eintreten. Das als Lagerteil genutzte Schutzrohr kann beispielsweise von einem Geräteträger oder einem Ausleger gehalten werden und kann - wie bereits erwähnt - an diesem auch drehbar angeordnet sein.The individual elements of the light-influencing element can then be clipped onto this cylindrical or cylinder-like protective tube, for example in the form of larger cell grid modules or as individual cells. The clip connection allows the light-influencing element or its parts to rotate freely, for example by 180 °. Since the protective tube is transparent over its entire circumference, the light emitted by the light source can enter the protective tube in any position of the light-influencing element. The protective tube used as a bearing part can be held for example by a device carrier or a cantilever and can - as already mentioned - also be rotatably arranged on this.
Eine weitere vorteilhafte Weiterbildung der Erfindung besteht darin, dass zwischen dem Lichtbeeinflussungselement und dem Trägerelement eine Art Rastverbindung vorgesehen ist, welche es erlaubt, eine Verdrehung lediglich in bestimmten Winkelbereichen bzw. in bestimmten Schritten zuzulassen. Hierdurch besteht die Möglichkeit, das Verschwenken bzw. Verdrehen des Lichtbeeinflussungselements bzw. der einzelnen Elemente reproduzierbar zu gestalten. Dabei kann zusätzlich eine Skalierung vorgesehen sein, über welche das Verschwenken der einzelnen Elemente auf einen gewünschten Wert in einfacher Weise durchgeführt werden kann.A further advantageous embodiment of the invention is that between the light-influencing element and the support member, a kind of locking connection is provided, which allows a rotation only in certain angular ranges or in certain steps. This makes it possible to make the pivoting or rotation of the light influencing element or of the individual elements reproducible. In addition, a scaling can be provided by means of which the pivoting of the individual elements to a desired value can be carried out in a simple manner.
Insgesamt gesehen wird durch die vorliegende Erfindung also die Möglichkeit geschaffen, Lichtbeeinflussungselemente im Hinblick auf eine längliche Lichtquelle in beliebiger Weise zu orientieren. Werden als Lichtbeeinflussungselemente Zellenraster mit einzelnen Reflektoren verwendet, so können Effekte im Hinblick auf die Veränderbarkeit der Lichtabstrahlcharakteristik der Leuchte erzielt werden, die bislang lediglich bei der Verwendung einer Vielzahl von einzelnen Spots bestanden.Overall, the present invention thus provides the possibility of influencing light elements with regard to an elongate light source to orient in any way. If cell grids with individual reflectors are used as light-influencing elements, then effects with regard to the changeability of the light emission characteristic of the luminaire can be achieved, which hitherto existed only when using a plurality of individual spots.

Das in den
Das von den beiden Leuchtstofflampen 2 abgegebene Licht wird über eine allgemein mit dem Bezugszeichen 10 versehene Rasteranordnung abgestrahlt. Im vorliegenden Fall wird diese Rasteranordnung 10 durch mehrere Zellenraster-Elemente 15 gebildet, deren Ausgestaltung
Wie beispielsweise der Darstellung in
Eine Besonderheit der erfindungsgemäßen Leuchte 1 besteht darin, dass - wie in den
Das erfindungsgemäße Verschwenken der Zellenraster-Elemente 15 wird durch eine besondere Lagerung dieser an der Leuchte 1 ermöglicht, welche nunmehr anhand der
Die besondere Art der Lagerung der Zellenraster-Elemente 15 besteht darin, dass diese auf einem gesonderten Lagerteil 5 gehalten sind, welches die Lichtquelle 2 mit Abstand umgibt und für die abgegebenen Lichtstrahlen durchlässig ist. Bei diesem Lagerteil 5 kann es sich beispielsweise um ein transparentes Schutzrohr aus Kunststoff handeln, wie es bislang lediglich zur Verwendung bei Leuchten höherer Schutzart vorgesehen war. Entsprechend der Darstellung in
Wie insbesondere der Schnittdarstellung in
Wie der Darstellung in den
Eine alternative Ausführungsform hierzu würde darin bestehen, dass der Rückreflektor 17 bzw. das entsprechend genutzte Halteteil vollständig geschlossen ist, also ebenso wie das Schutzrohr 5 im Querschnitt gesehen hohlzylinderförmig ausgestaltet ist. In diesem Fall wäre ein einfaches seitliches Aufschnappen auf das Schutzrohr 5 nicht mehr möglich. Stattdessen müssten die einzelnen Zellenraster-Elemente 15 von der Stirnseite her auf das Schutzrohr 5 aufgefädelt werden, bevor dieses dann endgültig an der Leuchte angeordnet wird. Ein Vorteil dieser Lösung würde allerdings darin bestehen, dass keine Lichtabstrahlung mehr in eine zu den Topfreflektoren 16 entgegengesetzte Richtung erfolgt. Dies ist zwar manchmal in solchen Fällen erwünscht, in denen die Topfreflektoren 16 senkrecht nach unten ausgerichtet sind, sobald die Zellenraster-Elemente 15 allerdings verschwenkt sind, sollte in entgegengesetzter Richtung zu den Topfreflektoren 16 kein Licht mehr abgegeben werden.An alternative embodiment of this would be that the
Das Abstrahlen von Licht in eine zu den Topfreflektoren 16 entgegengesetzte Richtung könnte allerdings auch durch eine alternative Lösung verhindert werden, die in
Bei den Ausführungsformen gemäß den
Bei dieser Variante ist die Außenfläche des Lagerteils 5 nicht vollständig glatt, sondern weist stattdessen an einer bestimmten Stelle eine noppenartige Vorwölbung 6 auf. An der Innenseite des Topfreflektors 17 wiederum sind mehrere Vertiefungen 19 oder Kerben angeordnet, in welche die Vorwölbung 6 des Trägerteils 5 eingreifen kann. Durch diese Maßnahme werden in bestimmten Winkelabständen vorgesehene Vorzugspositionen gebildet, in welche das Zellenraster-Element 15 gedreht und mit dem Lagerteil 5 verrastet werden kann. Eine reproduzierbare Einstellung der verschiedenen Elemente wird hierdurch deutlich vereinfacht. In Ergänzung hierzu könnte ferner an dem Zellenraster-Element 15 eine Skala bzw. Skalierung angebracht werden, über welche die aktuelle Winkelposition abgelesen werden kann, so dass eine einheitliche Ausrichtung der Elemente weiter vereinfacht wird. Diese Skalierung könnte selbstverständlich auch in der Variante gemäß
Anzumerken ist, dass das bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß den
Bei den bisher beschrieben Ausführungsbeispielen war vorgesehen, dass die Zellenrasterelemente jeweils einzeln und individuell gegenüber dem transparenten Lagerteil verstellt werden können. Es wäre allerdings auch denkbar, dass ein Verschwenken der gesamten Anordnung vorgesehen ist, wobei hierzu nicht die Zellenraster-Elemente einzeln sondern stattdessen das gesamte Lagerteil um die Längsachse der Lichtquelle verdreht werden kann. Durch diese Maßnahme, die alternativ oder auch ergänzend zu einem individuellen Verschwenken der Zellenraster-Elemente vorgesehen sein kann, könnte in einfacher Weise ein einheitliches Verstellen der verschiedenen Teile des Lichtbeeinflussungselements erzielt werden.In the exemplary embodiments described so far, it was provided that the cell grid elements can each be adjusted individually and individually relative to the transparent bearing part. However, it would also be conceivable that a pivoting of the entire arrangement is provided, for which purpose not the cell grid elements individually but instead the entire bearing part to the Longitudinal axis of the light source can be rotated. By this measure, which can be provided alternatively or in addition to an individual pivoting of the cell grid elements, a uniform adjustment of the different parts of the light influencing element could be achieved in a simple manner.
Bei den dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen war das Lagerteil für die Zellenraster-Elemente immer konzentrisch zur Lichtquelle angeordnet, so dass die Schwenk- bzw. Drehachse mit der Längsachse der Lichtquelle zusammenfiel. Es wäre jedoch auch denkbar, die Lichtquelle eher im unteren Bereich des Schutzrohres anzuordnen und dementsprechend die Schwenkachse gegenüber der Lampenachse etwas zu verschieben. Besonders die Anordnung des Lichtzentrums in der Nähe der Rückreflektoren der Zellenraster-Elemente wäre in diesem Zusammenhang sogar vorteilhaft.In the illustrated embodiments, the bearing part for the cell grid elements was always arranged concentrically to the light source, so that the pivot or rotation axis coincided with the longitudinal axis of the light source. However, it would also be conceivable to arrange the light source rather in the lower region of the protective tube and accordingly to slightly shift the pivot axis relative to the lamp axis. In particular, the arrangement of the light center in the vicinity of the back reflectors of the cell grid elements would even be advantageous in this context.
Abschließend ist noch darauf hinzuweisen, dass anstelle der dargestellten Zellenraster-Elemente auch andere Lichtbeeinflussungselemente in erfindungsgemäßer Weise an einer Leuchte schwenk- oder drehbar angeordnet werden könnten. Beispielsweise wäre auch der Einsatz bestimmter Farbfilter oder Lochbleche denkbar. Auch in diesen Fällen bringt die Möglichkeit des Verschwenkens zusätzliche Vorteile mit sich, da die Lichtabgabe der Leuchte in gewünschter Weise beeinflußt werden kann.Finally, it should be pointed out that instead of the illustrated cell grid elements, other light influencing elements could also be pivotally or rotatably arranged on a luminaire in accordance with the invention. For example, the use of certain color filters or perforated plates would be conceivable. Even in these cases, the possibility of pivoting brings additional benefits, since the light output of the lamp can be influenced in the desired manner.
