With a relatively low cost in this case the additional tear-off straps can be made, which are then integrally connected to the front part 60, but can be removed without much effort. In other words, the additional expenditure for realizing the tanning display according to the invention is relatively low and is clearly compensated by the advantage that can be achieved. Alternatively, of course, the tear-off straps could also be arranged or fastened otherwise or the display means could be realized in another form.
  • the tear tabs according to the invention can of course also indicate other operating parameters of the luminaire, depending on what information should be immediately apparent.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Anbauelement gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1, welches zur Verwendung bei einer länglichen Leuchte vorgesehen ist, die insb. in sog. Lichtbandsystemen genutzt wird. Ferner betrifft die vorliegende Erfindung eine Leuchte mit einem entsprechenden Anbauelement.The present invention relates to a mounting element according to the preamble of claim 1, which is intended for use in an elongated luminaire, which is used esp. In so-called. Lightpipe systems. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a lamp with a corresponding add-on element.

Lichtbandsysteme sind in unterschiedlichen Ausführungsformen bekannt. Sie weisen in der Regel ein längliches Trägerelement zur Halterung der Leitungen für die Stromversorgung auf, an welches dann einzelne sog. Leuchtenmodule angesetzt werden können. Eine Vorteil derartiger Lichtbandsysteme besteht dabei darin, dass Beleuchtungsanordnungen einer nahezu beliebigen Länge realisiert werden können und in der Regel auch eine Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Leuchten zur Verfügung steht, welche sich hinsichtlich ihres Aussehens sowie der mit der jeweiligen Leuchte erzielbaren Lichtabgabe unterscheiden und wahlweise an dem Trägerelement angeordnet werden können. Hierdurch besteht eine hohe Flexibilität bei der Realisierung größerer Beleuchtungssysteme.Lichtbandsysteme are known in different embodiments. They usually have an elongated support member for holding the cables for the power supply, to which then individual so-called. Lamp modules can be recognized. An advantage of such a lighting system is that lighting arrangements of almost any length can be realized and usually a variety of different lights is available, which differ in terms of their appearance and the achievable with the respective light output and optionally arranged on the support element can be. As a result, there is a high degree of flexibility in the realization of larger lighting systems.

Eine Leuchte, die für den Einsatz bei einem derartigen Lichtbandsystem vorgesehen ist, ist bspw. aus der EP 2 375 149 A2 der Anmelderin bekannt. Eine derartige Leuchte, die oftmals auch als Balkenleuchte bezeichnet wird, weist hierbei zunächst eine Basiseinheit in Form eines sog. Balkens auf, der an der Tragschiene, also dem Trägerelement des Lichtbandsystems befestigt wird und dabei gleichzeitig auch die Leitungen zur Stromversorgung sowie ggf. zur Signalübertragung kontaktiert. Der Leuchtenbalken dient dabei auch gleichzeitig der Halterung des oder der Lampenbetriebsgeräte sowie der Lichtquellen, wobei in diesem Fall ein oder mehrere längliche Leuchtstofflampen als Lichtquellen vorgesehen sind. An der Unterseite des Leuchtenbalkens ist ferner ein zusätzliches Anbauelement vorgesehen, welches eine spezielle Optik zur Beeinflussung der Lichtabgabe der Leuchte beinhaltet und bei der in der EP 2 375 149 beschriebenen Ausführungsform zusätzlich derart gestaltet ist, dass die Leuchte die sog. Schutzklasse IP 50 erfüllt, also staubgeschützt ist. Dies wird im bekannten Fall dadurch erreicht, dass an dem nachträglich montierbaren Anbauelement, welches die Lichtquellen umschließt, spezielle Dichtungen vorgesehen sind, durch welche ein staubdichter Übergang zu den restlichen Komponenten der Leuchte geschaffen wird.A luminaire, which is intended for use in such a lighting system, is, for example, from the EP 2 375 149 A2 the applicant known. Such a lamp, which is often also referred to as a bar light, in this case initially has a base unit in the form of a so-called. Beam, which is attached to the support rail, so the support member of the lighting system and at the same time the lines for power supply and possibly for signal transmission contacted. The lightbar is also used at the same time the holder of the lamp or the operating equipment and the light sources, in which case one or more elongated fluorescent lamps are provided as light sources. At the bottom of the light bar, an additional attachment is further provided, which includes a special optics for influencing the light output of the lamp and in which in the EP 2 375 149 described embodiment is additionally designed such that the lamp meets the so-called. Protection class IP 50, that is dust-proof. This is achieved in the known case in that special seals are provided on the retrofittable attachment which encloses the light sources, through which a dust-tight transition to the remaining components of the lamp is created.

Balkenleuchten der oben beschriebenen Art unterscheiden sich dabei nicht nur hinsichtlich der optischen Komponenten, die im Wesentlichen das Aussehen der Leuchte sowie die Art und Weise der Lichtabgabe beeinflussen, sondern auch hinsichtlich der Anzahl und der Leistung der zum Einsatz kommenden Lichtquellen. So sind Balkenleuchten sowohl mit ein als auch mit zwei parallel zueinander angeordneten Leuchtstofflampen bekannt. Ferner stehen Leuchtstofflampen in unterschiedlichen Leistungsklassen zur Verfügung, wobei insb. durch das zum Einsatz kommende Betriebsgerät vorgegeben ist, wie viele Leuchtstofflampen und mit welcher Leistung diese versorgt werden können. Die entsprechende Information wird auch als sog. Wattage der Leuchte bezeichnet.Beam lights of the type described above differ not only in terms of the optical components, which essentially affect the appearance of the lamp and the way the light output, but also in terms of the number and performance of the light sources used. Thus, beam lights are known both with one and with two parallel fluorescent lamps. Furthermore, there are fluorescent lamps in different power classes available, esp. Given by the coming to use control gear, how many fluorescent lamps and with what power they can be supplied. The corresponding information is also referred to as wattage of the lamp.

Werden derartige Leuchten mit den Lichtquellen bestückt, was bspw. bei Inbetriebnahme der Leuchte oder bei einem Wechsel einer defekten Lampe der Fall sein kann, so muss sichergestellt sein, dass der geeignete, der Wattage der Leuchte entsprechende Lampentyp eingesetzt wird. Üblicherweise war deshalb bislang vorgesehen, an der Leuchte, insb. an dem Leuchtenbalken selbst die Wattage mit Hilfe eines entsprechenden, aufgeklebten Etiketts anzuzeigen.If such lamps are equipped with the light sources, which may be the case, for example, when starting the lamp or when changing a defective lamp, it must be ensured that the appropriate lamp type corresponding to the wattage of the lamp is used. Usually, therefore, it has been heretofore envisaged to display the wattage on the luminaire, in particular on the luminaire beam itself, with the aid of a corresponding adhesive label.

Beim Einsatz der oben erwähnten Anbauelemente, mit deren Hilfe spezielle Optiken zu einer Beeinflussung der Lichtabgabe hinzugefügt werden, ergibt sich dann allerdings das Problem, dass diese Anbauelemente die Wattage-Anzeige an der Leuchte überdecken, so dass diese nicht mehr sichtbar ist. Ein derartiges Problem stellt sich insb. bei Anbauelementen, welche staubgeschützt ausgeführt sind, da in diesem Fall dann das Anbauelement ein eigenes, im Wesentlichen geschlossenes Gehäuse bildet, welches die Wattage-Anzeige der Leuchte überdeckt. Bei einem Auswechseln einer defekten Lampe kann also nicht mehr unmittelbar erkannt werden, welche Lichtquelle(n) neu eingesetzt werden sollte(n).When using the above-mentioned add-on elements, with the help of special optics are added to influence the light output, but then there is the problem that these attachments cover the Wattage indicator on the lamp, so that it is no longer visible. Such a problem arises esp. In add-on elements, which are designed dust-proof, since in this case, the attachment forms its own, substantially closed housing, which covers the Wattage display of the lamp. When replacing a defective lamp so it can no longer be immediately recognized which light source (s) should be re-used (s).

Aus der DE 10 2006 027 519 A1 ist eine Leuchte mit einem Seitenteil bekannt. An dem Seitenteil sind eine Rasterung und Markierung ausgebildet, die dazu dienen, die Genauigkeit von Reflektoreinstellungen zu wiederholen.From the DE 10 2006 027 519 A1 is a lamp with a side panel known. On the side part of a screening and marking are formed, which serve to repeat the accuracy of reflector settings.

Aus der WO 2012/148382 A1 ist ein Sockelelement zur lösbaren Verbindung mit einem länglichen Leuchtelement bekannt; das Sockelelement weist dabei Anzeigemittel zur einstellbaren Anzeige einer Wattage des Leuchtelements auf.From the WO 2012/148382 A1 a socket element is known for releasable connection to an elongated luminous element; The base element in this case has display means for adjustable display of a wattage of the lighting element.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabenstellung zugrunde, für das oben genannte Problem eine Lösung zu schaffen, derart, dass auch bei dem Einsatz entsprechender Anbauelemente unmittelbar ersichtlich ist, welche Wattage die Leuchte besitzt.The present invention is therefore based on the object to provide for the above problem a solution, such that even in use corresponding extension elements is immediately apparent, which wattage has the lamp.

Die Aufgabe wird durch ein Anbauelement zur lösbaren Befestigung an einer länglichen Leuchte mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.The object is achieved by a mounting element for releasable attachment to an elongated luminaire with the features of claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung beruht auf dem Gedanken, dass zusätzlich zu der Wattage-Anzeige an dem Leuchtenbalken selbst auch das AnbauelementThe solution according to the invention is based on the idea that in addition to the wattage display on the lightbar itself and the attachment

Anzeigemittel zur einstellbaren Anzeige einer Betriebsinformation der Leuchte, insb. zur Anzeige der Wattage der Leuchte aufweist.Display means for adjustably displaying operating information of the luminaire, in particular for displaying the wattage of the luminaire.

Erfindungsgemäß wird deshalb ein Anbauelement zur lösbaren Befestigung an einer länglichen Leuchte, insb. einer Leuchte eines Lichtbandsystems vorgeschlagen, wobei das Anbauelement dazu ausgebildet ist, eine oder mehrere Lichtquellen der Leuchte zu umgeben, und wobei erfindungsgemäß das Anbauelement Anzeigemittel zur einstellbaren Anzeige einer Betriebsinformation der Leuchte, insb. zur Anzeige einer Wattage der Leuchte aufweist.According to the invention therefore an attachment for releasable attachment to an elongated lamp, esp. A lamp of a lighting system is proposed, wherein the attachment is adapted to surround one or more light sources of the lamp, and wherein according to the invention the attachment display means for adjustable display of operating information of the lamp , Especially for displaying a Wattage of the lamp has.

Dadurch, dass nunmehr an dem Anbauelement selbst die Wattage der Leuchte angezeigt wird, ist also bei einem Lampenwechsel unmittelbar ersichtlich, welche Art von Lichtquelle an die Lampenfassungen angeschlossen werden kann. Dadurch, dass die Anzeige einstellbar ist, wird ferner die Möglichkeit eröffnet, identisch ausgeführte Anbauelemente für Leuchten unterschiedlicher Wattagen zur Verfügung zu stellen. D.h., für die Leuchte einer bestimmten Wattage muss nicht ein speziell darauf abgestimmtes Anbauelement zur Verfügung gestellt werden, sondern dieses kann generell für alle Leuchten gemeinsam genutzt werden, wobei dann bei Anbringen des Anbauelements die einstellbare Anzeige auf die entsprechende Leuchte abgestimmt wird.Due to the fact that the wattage of the luminaire is now displayed on the add-on element itself, it is thus immediately apparent when changing the lamp which type of light source can be connected to the lamp sockets. The fact that the display is adjustable, the possibility also opens up to provide identical running attachments for lights of different wattages available. In other words, for the luminaire of a particular wattage, it is not necessary to provide a specially adapted add-on element, but this can generally be used in common for all luminaires, in which case the adjustable display is matched to the corresponding luminaire when the add-on element is attached.

Die erfindungsgemäßen Anzeigemittel sind dabei mechanisch einstellbar, wobei die Anzeigemittel mehrere Anzeigeelemente aufweisen, die jeweils einer bestimmten Betriebsinformation bzw. einer bestimmten Wattage entsprechen und wahlweise entfernbar sind. Diese Anzeigeelemente sind dabei durch sog. Abrisslaschen gebildet, wobei dann im Ausgangszustand unterschiedliche Abrisslaschen vorliegen, welche letztendlich alle mit Ausnahme derjenigen Lasche, die die korrekte Information anzeigt, entfernt werden. Die Abrisslaschen können dabei insb. aus Kunststoff bestehen, wobei sie vorzugsweise an zumindest einem Stirnelement des Anbauelements einstückig befestigt sind. Diese spezielle Anordnung ist insofern von Vorteil, als das Stirnelement bzw. die Stirnelemente der Optiken von Balkenleuchten in der Regel als Kunststoffbauteile ausgeführt sind, welche im Spritzgussverfahren hergestellt werden. Hier ist das Anbringen zusätzlicher Abrisslaschen mit einem verhältnismäßig geringen Aufwand realisierbar.The display means according to the invention are mechanically adjustable, wherein the display means comprise a plurality of display elements, each corresponding to a specific operating information or a specific wattage and are optionally removable. These display elements are formed by so-called. Breakaway tabs, then in the initial state different tear-off tabs are present, which are eventually all except the tab that displays the correct information removed. In particular, the tear-off straps can be made of plastic, wherein they are preferably integrally attached to at least one end element of the attachment element. This special arrangement is advantageous in that the end element or the end elements of the optics of beam lights are usually designed as plastic components, which are produced by injection molding. Here is the attachment of additional tear-off with a relatively low cost feasible.

Das erfindungsgemäße Anbauelement kann dabei insb. eine Optik zur Beeinflussung der Lichtabgabe der Leuchte bilden bzw. entsprechende optische Mittel aufweisen. Ferner ist es vorzugsweise staubgeschützt ausgeführt, derart, dass es der Schutzklasse IP 50 genügt.The add-on element according to the invention can, in particular, form an optical system for influencing the light emission of the luminaire or have corresponding optical means. Furthermore, it is preferably designed dust-proof, such that it meets the protection class IP 50.

Figur 1 zeigt zunächst den grundsätzlichen Aufbau eines typischen Lichtbandsystems mit einer daran befestigten sog. Balkenleuchte. Das Grundgerüst des Lichtbandsystems 100 wird dabei durch eine längliche Tragschiene 10 gebildet, welche durch ein zur Unterseite hin offenes, U-förmiges Profilelement gebildet ist. Diese Tragschiene 10 kann entweder unmittelbar an einer Decke oder abgehängt befestigt werden und dient der Halterung mehrerer Leuchteneinheiten, wobei in Fig. 1 eine einzelne Leuchteneinheit dargestellt ist, welche mit dem Bezugszeichen 30 versehen ist. In diesem Zusammenhang ist darauf hinzuweisen, dass Fig. 1 lediglich einen kurzen Abschnitt des Lichtbandsystems 100 zeigt. Tatsächlich ist die Tragschiene 10 deutlich länger als die daran befestigte Leuchteneinheit 30, so dass in der Regel mehrere Leuchteneinheiten 30 - insbesondere bündig - hintereinander an der Tragschiene 10 befestigt sind. FIG. 1 shows first the basic structure of a typical lighting system with an attached so-called beam light. The basic structure of the light band system 100 is formed by an elongated support rail 10, which is formed by a U-shaped profile element which is open towards the underside. This support rail 10 can either be attached directly to a ceiling or suspended and serves to hold several lighting units, wherein in Fig. 1 a single lamp unit is shown, which is provided with the reference numeral 30. In this context, it should be noted that Fig. 1 only shows a short section of the lighting system 100. In fact, the mounting rail 10 is significantly longer than the lamp unit 30 attached thereto, so that usually a plurality of lamp units 30 - in particular flush - are mounted one behind the other on the support rail 10.

Die Leuchteneinheit 30 wiederum besteht zunächst aus einem länglichen Abdeckbalken 31, welcher von der Unterseite her an die Tragschiene 10 angesetzt und befestigt wird. Mit Hilfe von Kopplungselementen 36 (siehe Fig. 2), welche über Öffnungen 35 in dem Abdeckbalken 31 zugängig und betätigbar sind, kann dabei sowohl eine mechanische Befestigung an der Tragschiene 10 als auch eine elektrische Kontaktierung innerhalb der Tragschiene 10 verlaufender, hier nicht näher dargestellter Stromleitungen erfolgen. Diese können in unterschiedlicher Weise innerhalb der Tragschiene verlaufen, z.B. derart, dass eine freie Anordnung der Leuchteneinheiten 30 an der Tragschiene 10 ermöglicht ist, was die Flexibilität des Lichtbandsystems 100 zusätzlich erhöht. Es wäre allerdings auch denkbar, das Lichtbandsystem derart auszugestalten, dass die Leuchteneinheiten lediglich an fest vorgegebenen Positionen angeordnet werden können. Dies spielt für die vorliegende Erfindung keine Rolle.The lamp unit 30, in turn, initially consists of an elongated cover bar 31, which is attached to the support rail 10 from the underside and fastened. With the aid of coupling elements 36 (see Fig. 2 ), which are accessible and operable via openings 35 in the cover bar 31, can be done both a mechanical attachment to the support rail 10 and an electrical contact within the support rail 10 extending, not shown here power lines. These can be done in different ways run within the mounting rail, for example, such that a free arrangement of the lamp units 30 is made possible on the support rail 10, which additionally increases the flexibility of the lighting system 100. However, it would also be conceivable to design the lighting strip system in such a way that the lighting units can be arranged only at fixed predetermined positions. This is irrelevant to the present invention.

Die Leuchteneinheit 30 weist weiterhin an den beiden Stirnseiten Halteelemente 32 auf, welche der Anordnung von Lampenfassungen 33 dienen. In diese Fassungen 33 ist im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel eine längliche Lichtquelle 34 in Form einer Leuchtstofflampe eingesetzt. Die Stromversorgung der Lampe 34 erfolgt über Lampenbetriebsmittel 37, welche an der Oberseite des Abdeckbalkens 31 angeordnet und dementsprechend nach Montage der Leuchteneinheit 30 in dem Aufnahmeraum 11 der Tragschiene 10 angeordnet sind.The lamp unit 30 further has on the two end faces holding elements 32, which serve the arrangement of lamp sockets 33. In these versions 33, an elongated light source 34 is used in the form of a fluorescent lamp in the illustrated embodiment. The power supply of the lamp 34 via lamp operating means 37, which are arranged on the upper side of the cover bar 31 and accordingly arranged after mounting the lamp unit 30 in the receiving space 11 of the support rail 10.

In Figur 1 ist die Leuchte 30 ohne zusätzliche Anbauelemente bzw. optische Mittel dargestellt. In der Regel ist allerdings vorgesehen, dass der Leuchte 30 ein Anbauelement zugeordnet wird, wie es bspw. in Figur 2 dargestellt und mit dem Bezugszeichen 50 versehen ist. Dieses Anbauelement 50 beinhaltet optische Mittel bzw. bildet eine Optik, um die Lichtabgabe der Leuchte 30 in geeigneter Weise zu beeinflussen. Oftmals soll die Optik gleichzeitig auch einen Staubschutz bilden bzw. derart ausgeführt sein, dass das Eindringen von Staub und dergleichen in das Anbauelement 50 verhindert wird, um sicherzustellen, dass dieser sich nicht an transparenten Elementen der Abdeckung ansetzt und dementsprechend die Lichtabgabe bzw. das Erscheinungsbild der Leuchte 30 negativ beeinträchtigt. Idealerweise sollte hierbei der sog. Schutzgrad IP50 erreicht werden, durch den ein entsprechender Staubschutz der Leuchte 30 definiert wird.In FIG. 1 the lamp 30 is shown without additional attachments or optical means. In general, however, it is provided that the lamp 30 is assigned an attachment element, as for example. In FIG. 2 is shown and provided with the reference numeral 50. This add-on element 50 includes optical means or forms an optical system in order to influence the light output of the luminaire 30 in a suitable manner. Often, the optics should at the same time also form a dust cover or be designed in such a way that the penetration of dust and the like into the attachment element 50 is prevented to ensure that it does not attach to transparent elements of the cover and, accordingly, the light output or the appearance the lamp 30 adversely affected. Ideally, the so-called degree of protection IP50 should be achieved, by which a corresponding dust protection of the luminaire 30 is defined.

Die Montage des Anbauelements 50 erfolgt dabei dadurch, dass dieses auf die Leuchteneinheit 30 aufgesetzt und mit dieser beispielsweise verrastet wird. Anschließend kann von der Unterseite her das Anbauelement 50 vorübergehend geöffnet und die Lampe 34 in die entsprechenden Fassungen 33 eingesetzt werden. Hierzu muss wie bereits erwähnt die untere Abdeckung vorübergehend entfernt werden, sie wird allerdings nach dem Befestigen der Lampe 34 in den Fassungen 33 wieder aufgebracht, um das Anbauelement 50 zu schließen.The mounting of the add-on element 50 takes place in that this is placed on the lamp unit 30 and locked with this, for example. Subsequently, the attachment element 50 can be temporarily opened from the underside and the lamp 34 can be inserted into the corresponding sockets 33. For this purpose, as already mentioned, the lower cover has to be temporarily removed, but it is reapplied after fixing the lamp 34 in the sockets 33 in order to close the attachment element 50.

Eine denkbare Ausführungsform eines Anbauelements 50 ist in Explosionsdarstellung in Figur 3 gezeigt. Das Anbauelement 50 weist hierbei ein längliches, etwa C-förmiges Gehäuseelement 51 auf, welches einerseits der Befestigung an der Leuchteneinheit bzw. dem Balken 31 dient und andererseits die Halterung für alle weiteren Komponenten des Anbauelements 50 bildet. Dabei ist insb. im Innenraum des Anbauelements 50 ein im Querschnitt etwa C-förmiger Reflektor 52 aus vorzugsweise hochreflektierendem Material angeordnet, der die Lichtquellen umgibt, um das von diesen abgegebene Licht möglichst effizient nutzen zu können. Die Unterseite des Elements 51 wird durch die rahmenförmige Abdeckung 53 verschlossen, welche zusätzlich der Lagerung optischer Elemente, bspw. einer entsprechenden Streu- oder Prismenscheibe 54 dient. Diese Scheibe 54 kann allerdings ggf. auch klar ausgeführt sein, was sich insbesondere dann anbietet, wenn im Inneren des Anbauelements 50 weitere optische Elemente, z.B. ein Raster oder dgl. angeordnet sind. Wie bereits erwähnt ist diese Abdeckung 53 lösbar von dem Gehäuseelement 51 gestaltet, um einen Zugang zum Innenraum des Anbauelements 50 zu ermöglichen. Diese lösbare Halterung kann dabei mittels entsprechender, nicht näher dargestellter Rastelemente erzielt werden. Eine umlaufende Dichtung 55 gewährleistet ferner, dass in diesem unteren Bereich ebenfalls der gewünschte Staubschutz erzielt wird. An den beiden Stirnseiten des Anbauelements 50 ist dieses durch entsprechende Stirnteile 60 abgeschlossen.A conceivable embodiment of a mounting element 50 is in exploded view in FIG. 3 shown. The attachment member 50 in this case has an elongated, approximately C-shaped housing member 51, which on the one hand the attachment to the lamp unit or the beam 31 and on the other hand forms the holder for all other components of the add-on element 50. In this case, in particular in the interior of the add-on element 50, a reflector 52, preferably C-shaped, of preferably highly reflective material is arranged, which surrounds the light sources in order to be able to use the light emitted by them as efficiently as possible. The underside of the element 51 is closed by the frame-shaped cover 53, which additionally serves for the storage of optical elements, for example a corresponding scattering or prismatic disk 54. However, if necessary, this disk 54 can also be made clear, which is particularly suitable if 50 further optical elements, such as a grid or the like are arranged in the interior of the add-on element. As already mentioned, this cover 53 is detachably designed by the housing element 51 in order to allow access to the interior of the attachment element 50. This releasable holder can be achieved by means of corresponding, not shown detent elements. A circumferential seal 55 also ensures that the desired dust protection is also achieved in this lower area. At the two end sides of the add-on element 50 this is completed by corresponding end portions 60.

Wie der Darstellung von Figur 3 entnehmbar ist, weist das Gehäuseelement 51 an seiner Oberseite eine in Längsrichtung verlaufende, im Wesentlichen geschlossene Wand 51a auf. Diese ermöglicht es in einfacher Weise, den gewünschten Staubschutz für das Anbauelement 50 zu erzielen, gleichzeitig deckt sie allerdings die dem Anbauelement 50 zugewandte Unterseite des Leuchtenbalkens 31 vollständig ab. Eine an diesem Leuchtenbalken 31 angebrachte Information hinsichtlich der Wattage der Leuchte 30 ist dementsprechend im montierten Zustand des Anbauelements 50 nicht mehr erkennbar. Soll nunmehr bspw. aufgrund eines Defekts eine Lampe ausgewechselt werden, so ist nicht ohne Weiteres erkennbar, welcher Lampentyp geeignet ist, was ggf. dazu führen kann, dass die Leuchte 30 mit falschen Lampen bestückt wird. Um diese Problematik zu vermeiden, ist eine besondere Ausgestaltung des Anbauelements 50, insbesondere der Stirnteile 60 vorgesehen, welche nachfolgend anhand der Figuren 4 bis 6 näher erläutert werden soll.Like the presentation of FIG. 3 can be removed, the housing member 51 on its upper side a running in the longitudinal direction, substantially closed wall 51a. This makes it possible in a simple manner to achieve the desired dust protection for the add-on element 50, but at the same time it covers the underside of the light bar 31 facing the add-on element 50 completely. An attached to this light bar 31 information regarding the wattage of the lamp 30 is accordingly no longer recognizable in the assembled state of the add-on element 50. If now, for example, due to a defect, a lamp to be replaced, it is not readily apparent which lamp type is suitable, which may possibly lead to the lamp 30 is equipped with wrong lamps. To avoid this problem, a special embodiment of the add-on element 50, in particular the end portions 60 is provided, which hereinafter with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6 will be explained in more detail.

Die Besonderheit besteht hierbei darin, dass die Stirnteile 60 eine Anzeige zur Verfügung stellen, durch welche die Wattage der Leuchte 30 unmittelbar erkennbar ist und dementsprechend die oben beschriebene Problematik vermieden wird. Diese Anzeige ist dabei wahlweise auf einen bestimmten Wattage-Wert einstellbar, so dass das erfindungsgemäße Anbauelement 50 universal genutzt werden kann und unabhängig vom dem Leuchtentyp ist. Dies wiederum bedeutet, dass nicht für jeden Leuchtentyp unterschiedlicher Wattage ein eigenes Anbauelement zur Verfügung gestellt werden muss, was letztendlich auch zu einer Reduzierung der entsprechenden Kosten führt.The peculiarity here is that the end pieces 60 provide a display through which the wattage of the lamp 30 is directly visible and accordingly the problem described above is avoided. This display is optionally adjustable to a certain Wattage value, so that the add-on element 50 according to the invention can be used universally and is independent of the type of luminaire. This in turn means that not every luminaire type of different wattage has its own add-on element which ultimately leads to a reduction in the corresponding costs.

Die erfindungsgemäßen Anzeigemittel werden hierbei dadurch gebildet, dass an der Oberseite 61 des Stirnteils 60 drei an dem Umfang verteilt angeordnete Abrisslaschen 65-67 ausgebildet sind, die jeweils mit einem unterschiedlichen Wattage-Wert bedruckt sind. Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel sind hierbei die Werte 35W, 49W und 80W vorgesehen, wobei offensichtlich auch entsprechend andere Werte dargestellt werden können, sofern dies erforderlich ist. Für die derzeit gängigen Leuchtstofflampen sowie Leuchtentypen sind diese drei Werte jedoch die üblicherweise vorliegenden Wattage-Werte einer Leuchte, abhängig davon, welcher Lampentyp zum Einsatz kommt sowie von der Anzahl der eingesetzten Leuchten.The display means according to the invention are in this case formed by the fact that on the upper side 61 of the front part 60, three tear-off tabs 65-67 arranged distributed on the circumference are formed, which are each printed with a different wattage value. In the illustrated embodiment, the values 35W, 49W and 80W are provided here, although obviously other values can be represented accordingly, if necessary. However, for the currently used fluorescent lamps and luminaire types, these three values are the usual wattage values of a luminaire, depending on which lamp type is used and the number of luminaires used.

Bei der Inbetriebnahme der Leuchte 30 bzw. bei dem erstmaligen Befestigen des Anbauelements 50 an der Leuchte 30 ist die Wattage der Leuchte 30 bekannt, so dass in einfacher Weise die Abrisslaschen mit den unzutreffenden Wattage-Werten entfernt werden können. Es verbleibt dann lediglich die Abrisslasche mit der korrekten Wattage-Anzeige, welche allerdings -wie Figur 6 entnehmbar ist - nach einem Abnehmen der unteren Öffnung 53 unmittelbar erkennbar ist. Im vorliegenden Fall wurden hierbei die Abrisslaschen 65 und 67 entfernt und es verbleibt die Lasche 66, welche den Wattage-Wert 49W für die Leuchte anzeigt. Bei einem Bestücken der Leuchte 30 mit Leuchtstofflampen bzw. einem Wechsel der Lampe(n) kann also die Person dann unmittelbar den richtigen Wattage-Wert ablesen und die geeignete Lampe auswählen.When commissioning the lamp 30 or when first attaching the add-on element 50 to the lamp 30, the wattage of the lamp 30 is known, so that in a simple way the tear-off tabs with the incorrect wattage values can be removed. There then remains only the tear-off tab with the correct Wattage indicator, which, however, like FIG. 6 can be removed - after a removal of the lower opening 53 is directly visible. In the present case, the tear-off tabs 65 and 67 have been removed and the tab 66 remains, which indicates the wattage value 49W for the luminaire. When equipping the lamp 30 with fluorescent lamps or a change of the lamp (s) so the person can then immediately read off the correct wattage value and select the appropriate lamp.

Das Anbringen der erfindungsgemäßen Abrisslaschen 65-67 an den Stirnteilen 60 bietet sich dabei insb. deshalb an, da die Stirnteile 60 üblicherweise aus Kunststoff bestehen und bspw. im Spritzgussverfahren hergestellt werden. Mit einem verhältnismäßig geringen Aufwand können hierbei die zusätzlichen Abrisslaschen gefertigt werden, welche dann einstückig mit dem Stirnteil 60 verbunden sind, jedoch ohne großen Kraftaufwand entfernt werden können. D.h., der Zusatzaufwand zum Realisieren der erfindungsgemäßen Wattageanzeige ist verhältnismäßig gering und wird durch den erzielbaren Vorteil deutlich kompensiert. Alternativ hierzu könnten selbstverständlich die Abrisslaschen auch anderweitig angeordnet bzw. befestigt werden oder die Anzeigemittel könnten in anderer Form realisiert sein.Attachment of the tear-off tabs 65-67 according to the invention to the end parts 60 lends itself, in particular, to the fact that the end parts 60 are usually made of plastic and, for example, are produced by injection molding. With a relatively low cost in this case the additional tear-off straps can be made, which are then integrally connected to the front part 60, but can be removed without much effort. In other words, the additional expenditure for realizing the tanning display according to the invention is relatively low and is clearly compensated by the advantage that can be achieved. Alternatively, of course, the tear-off straps could also be arranged or fastened otherwise or the display means could be realized in another form.

Letztendlich wird also mit Hilfe der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung eine einfache Möglichkeit geschaffen, jederzeit die korrekte Wattage einer Leuchte anzeigen zu können. Dabei können die erfindungsgemäßen Abrisslaschen selbstverständlich auch andere Betriebsparameter der Leuchte anzeigen, je nachdem, welche Information unmittelbar ersichtlich sein sollte.Ultimately, so with the help of the solution according to the invention provides an easy way to always be able to display the correct wattage of a lamp. Of course, the tear tabs according to the invention can of course also indicate other operating parameters of the luminaire, depending on what information should be immediately apparent.
