Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a lighting system for recessed mounting.
  • Conventional lights for recessed mounting in walls and floors are substantially constituted by an outer casing which accommodates the lighting devices, incandescent lamps, fluorescent lamps or, in the most recent products, LEDs.
  • the minimum distance between two contiguous products is, in the best of cases, the sum of the shoulders of the closing flanges of the devices.
  • the closure flanges are not even adjacent.
  • Conspicuous discontinuities are also evident in the points where a directional variation is present, typically at the corners.
  • the conventional products also entail inventory and stock problems, because it is necessary to manage a rather large number of models of different dimensions in order to ensure a minimum of dimensional adaptability.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a lighting system for recessed mounting for walls and floors that overcomes the drawbacks of the prior art.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a modular lighting system that is capable of providing a substantially continuous lighting, ensuring a lighting technology performance of high value.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a lighting system that offers the possibility to vary the length of the product as a function of the requirements in a substantially linear manner, allowing to perfectly adapt the actually lit length with respect to the required length.
  • a further object is to provide a lighting system that allows to provide variations in the direction of the lighting system without interruptions in the continuity of the lighting.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a lighting system that allows to adapt the outer casing according to the requirements, differently from currently commercially available products which have outer casings of a preset length which cannot be modified.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a lighting system in which the minimum distance between two successive components is extremely reduced, so as to eliminate any aesthetic discontinuity of the product, which appears aesthetically identical over its entire length, even independently of variations in direction.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a lighting system that allows extremely simpler management of the product in stock.
  • Another important object of the invention is to provide a lighting system that can be installed very easily and quickly.
  • Another important object of the invention is to provide a lighting system that is extremely versatile and allows to easily change the position of use of the product even when the product is already installed.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a lighting system which, by virtue of its particular constructive characteristics, is capable of giving the greatest assurances of reliability and safety in use.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a lighting system that can be manufactured easily by using commonly commercially available elements and materials and is also competitive from an economic standpoint.
  • a lighting system for recessed mounting comprising an outer casing that can be recessed in a wall or floor and one or more lighting devices, characterized in that the lighting devices are constituted by modular components that comprise single modules and multiple modules, said multiple modules being dimensionally multiples of a single module, said outer casings allowing mutual assembly in a modular fashion, each module being constituted by a single body that is divided into sectors by means of easily breakable partitions, each sector corresponding dimensionally to said single module.
  • the lighting system for recessed mounting according to the invention comprises one or more outer casings 2 that accommodate one or more lighting modules 3, 33.
  • Each lighting module can be constituted by a single module 3 or by a multiple module 33, where the term “single” means a module that constitutes a basic unit and the term “multiple” means a module that is dimensionally a multiple of a single unit.
  • the single module 3 includes a single lighting component, in the specific case the LED 4, while the multiple module includes a plurality of lighting components 4.
  • the single module may in any case contain lighting units that differ both in number and in type.
  • the single module 3 is constituted by a box 5, which is closed in an upper region by an at least partially transparent plate 6.
  • the LED 4 is associated with a supporting and wiring component 7, which is connected electrically to a male connector 8 and to a female connector 9.
  • the connectors 8 and 9 are arranged on the lateral portions of the box 5.
  • the module 3 comprises a reflector component 10, which is suitable to reflect the light emitted by the lighting unit 4 toward the transparent plate 6.
  • An engagement component 11 for example an elastic clip, is associated with the lower outer surface of the box 5 and is adapted to fix the module inside the outer casing 2.
  • the multiple module 33 is similar to the single module and includes an elongated box 55, which is closed in an upper region by a plate 66 that is at least partially transparent.
  • the LEDs 4 are associated with a supporting and wiring component 77, which is connected electrically to a male connector 8 and to a female connector 9.
  • the connectors 8 and 9 are arranged on the lateral portions of the box 55.
  • the multiple module 33 comprises a reflector component 110, which is suitable to reflect the light emitted by the lighting units 4 toward the transparent plate 66.
  • the multiple module 33 has a plurality of engagement components 11, which are associated with the lower outer surface of the box 55, in order to fix the module within the outer casing 2.
  • An end module 103 is substantially similar to a single or multiple module and further comprises a power supply connector 19, for supplying power to the entire system.
  • a corner module 333 which differs from the single module 3 in that it has the connectors 8 and 9 arranged on two adjacent sides instead of opposite sides, constitutes a direction changing unit, as shown schematically in Figures 1 , 2 and 11 .
  • the outer casings 2 are constituted by a single molded body, which is made of plastics and is preferably divided into sectors 12 by means of easily breakable partitions 13, and can be assembled together according to the specific requirements.
  • Each sector 12 corresponds dimensionally to a single module 3 so that the outer casing 2 can be adapted to the number of single modules or to the dimensions of the multiple modules that one wishes to use.
  • the system also comprises end components 14 to be applied to the free ends of the outer casing.
  • Figures 1 , 2 and 11 illustrate some examples of configuration of the modular lighting system according to the present invention.
  • the installation of the system initially entails laying the outer casings 2, whose longitudinal extension can be adjusted easily by separating the excess sectors 12 by breaking the partitions 13 and/or by assembling multiple adjacent outer casings.
  • the modules are inserted and simply arranged side by side, in order to connect them electrically by means of the female and male connectors, locking them onto the bottom of the outer casing by means of the clips 11.
  • the modular system of the present invention solves the problems of the prior art.
  • the distance between contiguous modules is so small that the center distance between the light sources within a module is maintained even in passing from one module to the next, without compromising luminous uniformity.
  • Corners do not constitute points of discontinuity, because they maintain the characteristics cited above, allowing lighting even at the corner, by using an appropriately provided corner module 333 to be inserted in an appropriately provided outer corner casing that can be assembled together with the preceding ones.
  • the electrical connection system of the lighting system according to the present invention allows to limit the wiring operation to the first unit and to obtain sequentially the connection of all the other devices, simply by interlocking them successively.
  • the arrangement of the modules within the outer casing can be continuous, as shown in Figure 1 , or discontinuous, as shown schematically in Figure 2 , only at the objects that one wishes to light at that moment, covering any holes with the appropriately provided aesthetic modules.
  • the lighting system allows to vary the color of the light at a given point by simply choosing the suitable module, i.e., with a lighting unit 4 or transparent plate 6 of the chosen color.
  • the lighting system according to the present invention also allows to adjust the luminous intensity, by means of a dimmer, of the entire line by acting only on the first module.
  • the invention achieves the intended aim and objects, a lighting system for recessed mounting having been provided which allows to obtain a practically continuous lighting while ensuring a lighting technology performance of great value with respect to the products of the prior art, which have evident discontinuities linked to the minimum distance between two successive lighting units.
  • the lighting system according to the present invention offers the possibility to vary the length of the product according to the requirements in a substantially linear manner, in contrast to the conventional products known up to now, which by not being modular do not allow to adapt perfectly the length that is actually lit with respect to the required one.
  • the lighting system according to the present invention also allows to provide variations in the direction of the product without interruptions in the continuity of the lighting, in contrast to hitherto known products, which have evident discontinuities in the points where it was necessary to ensure a directional passage.
  • Another important advantage of the lighting system according to the present invention is constituted by the possibility to adapt the dimensions of the outer casing to the specific requirements, in contrast to hitherto known products, which have outer casings of a preset and non-modifiable length.
  • the lighting system according to the present invention also has the important advantage of being able to vary easily the distribution of the light, even when the product is already installed, simply by varying the position of the modules.
  • the possibility to supply the modules after the first one by simply interlocking them, with consequent extremely easy assembly and speed in execution, is extremely advantageous both during first installation and subsequently, when one wishes to modify the lighting configuration.
  • Another important advantage of the lighting system according to the present invention is constituted by the simplified management of the product in stock, due to its extreme modularity, which allows to manage a minimal number of unit types.
