- the aspect ratio of the light guide plates 1 1 .1, 1 1 .2 is approximately 2: 1, wherein the light guide plates 1 1.1, 1 1.2 are arranged such that their narrow sides are aligned.
- the two light guide plates 1 1.1, 1 1 .2 thus an approximately square total area, corresponding to the geometry of the support frame 14. Also included in the support frame 14 are per light guide plate 1 1 .1, 1 1.2 depending a plate-shaped Entblendungselement 1 2.1, 12.2 and a plate-shaped diffuser element 13.1, 13.2, which are included as in the lamp according to the first embodiment in insertion grooves of the frame parts 14.1 ... 5 and to the light guide plates 1 1.1, 1 1.2 are parallel and include an air gap with these.
- Each light-emitting diode band 15.1, 1 5.2 includes a A plurality of light-emitting diodes, which are arranged such that they couple a luminous flux in the longitudinal side of the respective light guide plate 1 1. 1, 1.2 1.2.
- a mirror foil is mounted, these other edges are therefore mirrored.
- the provided with light emitting diode bands 5.1, 5.2 longitudinal sides of the light guide plates 1 1.1, 1 1.2 adjacent frame parts 14.1, 14.3 are provided with cooling elements 19.1, 19.2 with cooling fins.
- FIG. 6 shows a cross section through the lightguide plate of the second embodiment.
- a plurality of structural elements 17 is impressed on the light guide plate 1 1.
- the structural elements 17 are circular cylindrical and rise above the main surfaces of the light guide plate 1 1. They are hexagonal, with a center distance of 1 .3 mm and have a diameter of 0.85 mm and a height of 0.007 - 0.01 5 mm.
- the structural elements 17 on the two opposite major surfaces of the light guide plate 1 1 are each formed at the same locations.
- a long side of the light guide plate 1 1 extends a light emitting diode band 1 5. Behind it is again a rounded mirror 18 is arranged, which has the task, emitted by the light emitting diode band 1 5 partial light streams, which are not irradiated in the respective edge of the light guide plate 1 1 to reflect and finally deliver it to the edge. Another object of these mirrors 18 is to reflect back partial light streams, which leave the light guide plate 1 1 again via the edges, into the light guide plate 11.
- the light-emitting diode strip 15 opposite longitudinal side and the two transverse sides of the light guide plate 1 1 include a pre-reflection 20, which is formed by mounted mirror films and has the task to throw back these reaching partial light streams back into the light guide plate 1 1.
- the plate-shaped Entblendungs institute 1 2.1, 12.2 and diffuser elements 13.1, 13.2 are identical to each other. They have structures that cause both a glare of the direct light and a diffusion of the indirect light.
- the sheets of PMMA have a thickness of 4.0 mm and are structured on both sides, with the Structure on both sides consists of a large number of parallel continuous grooves.
- the structures on both sides are formed by embossing and are substantially the same, but a first structure on a first major surface of the plates is rotated 90 ° relative to a second structure on the second major surface of the plates. This means that the grooves on the first side extend in the longitudinal direction, on the second side in the transverse direction, in each case parallel to the corresponding side edges.
- the mutually immediately adjacent grooves have in cross-section the shape of an isosceles triangle with an angle at the top of 32 °.
- the depth of the grooves is 0.5 mm.
- the mode of operation of the luminaires L, L 1 according to the invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, which are now imagined as a suspended luminaire mounted on a ceiling, is as follows:
- the light-emitting diodes 6 arranged in two light-emitting diode bands 5, 15 produce single light fluxes which are in the corresponding two edges of the light guide plate 1, 1 1 are coupled.
- the mirrors 8, 18 ensure that all partial luminous fluxes are essentially completely coupled into the optical waveguide plate, and that partial luminous fluxes, which leave the optical waveguide plate 1, 11 again via the edges, likewise enter the optical waveguide plate 1, 1 1 of the luminaire L 'L' can be coupled.
- the luminous flux in the light guide plate 1, 1 1 is thus split into two partial light streams, namely in a direct luminous flux and in a Indirektlichtstrom.
- the direct luminous flux is decoupled in the direction of the glare element 2, 12 on the underside of the light guide plate 1, 1 1.
- the indirect light current is decoupled in the direction of the diffuser element 3, 13 on the upper side of the luminaire 1, 1 1.
- the direct luminous flux When decoupling the direct luminous flux, the light beams interact with the structural elements 7, 17 on the first side of the light guide plate 1, 1 1 in such a way that an advantageous light distribution for the direct luminous flux and / or an advantageous size ratio between the direct luminous flux and the indirect luminous flux is achieved.
- the direct luminous flux then passes through the anti-glare element 2, 1 2 with its anti-glare structures. A viewer, who looks at the lamp, thus has a reduced risk of glare, as if he would look directly into the light guide plate 1, 1 1.
- the direct luminous flux is typically suitable for ensuring a standard-compliant illumination on a work surface or on several work surfaces below the luminaire 1.
- the light beams also interact in the decoupling of Indirectlichstroms with the structural elements on the second side of the light guide plate 1 1, such that an advantageous light distribution for the Indirektlichtstrom is achieved.
- the indirect light current in turn radiates through the diffuser element 3, 13, wherein the diffuser element 3, 13 generates from the indirect light flow such a light distribution, which illuminates the ceiling above the lamp 1 homogeneous, in particular so that no dark areas arise above the lamp, which of a Room occupants could be distracting.
- the light guide plate 1, 1 1 is preferably made of plastic, preferably PMMA, but it can also be made of another plastic or glass.
- the light-emitting diodes 6 typically produce white light, with all the light-emitting diodes 6 typically producing light with substantially the same spectral distribution. However, it is also possible that the light-emitting diodes 6 generate light with different spectral distributions.
- the lamp 1, 1 for example, both warm white and cold white LEDs 6 or blue, red or green LEDs 6 or any combination of such light-emitting diodes 6 include. It is particularly advantageous if the lamp 1, 1 1 comprises a control unit and / or can be connected to a control unit which is suitable is, for. B.
- the diffuser element 3, 13 is preferably made of plastic, but can also be made of other materials such. As paper or metal or glass or a combination of such materials. Such material combinations are possible in principle for the anti-glare element 2, 12.
