Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a light source assembly and to a light fixture comprising said light source assembly.
  • the light fixture is a stage light fixture.
  • Solid State Lighting such as LEDs
  • Solid state light sources are associated with electronic components that can become a significant source of acoustic noise, especially when they are adjusted by pulse width modulation commands.
  • the electromagnetic force induced on these components by the PWM modulation in fact, determines a vibration of the components, which causes audible acoustic noise.
  • the generated acoustic noise has a dominant component at the same frequency as the PWM modulation or its harmonics.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a light source assembly that is free from the drawbacks of the known art herein disclosed.
  • an object of the invention is to provide a light source assembly in which the acoustic noise is significantly reduced and which, at the same time, emits a high quality light beam.
  • the present invention relates to a light source assembly comprising:
  • the light source assembly according to the present invention is noiseless with respect to the source assemblies of the known art.
  • the presence of the acoustic barrier element in fact, significantly reduces the audible noise level outside the light source assembly.
  • the acoustic barrier element and the optical element are made in a single piece. In this way, the assembling of the light source assembly is simplified and speeded up.
  • the acoustic barrier element and the optical element are distinct pieces.
  • the acoustic barrier element is air-permeable. In this way, the air circulates inside the chamber housing the light source. This avoids the onset of pressure imbalances due to temperature changes caused by the presence of at least one light source.
  • the acoustic barrier element is made of a polymeric material.
  • the acoustic barrier element is made of a material having a hardness below 100 on the Shore OO hardness scale. In this way, the acoustic barrier element has a level of compressibility that is sufficient to guarantee a correct acoustic noise reduction effect.
  • the acoustic barrier element is made of a silicone material.
  • the reflector assembly comprises a reflector element and at least one support body configured to support the reflector element.

  • the light source assembly comprises at least one further acoustic barrier element arranged between the support plate and the support body. This further optimizes the acoustic noise isolation level.
  • the further acoustic barrier element is air-permeable. In this way, even the further acoustic barrier element ensures a correct air circulation to avoid the onset of any pressure unbalance.

This is mainly due to the particular arrangement of the elements that make up the light source assembly 7 and to the presence of the acoustic barrier element 13 arranged between the optical element 13 and the reflector assembly 11.
  • the clamping device 39 further improves the soundproofing properties thanks to the clamping of the acoustic barrier element against the adjacent elements.
  • the further acoustic barrier element 36 further optimizes the soundproofing properties, thus contributing to the closure of the chamber 15.
  • the further acoustic barrier element 36 is preferably air-permeable, for example made of an air-permeable material.
  • the further acoustic barrier element 36 is made of a compressible material.
  • the further acoustic barrier element 36 is made of a material having a hardness below 100 in the Shore OO hardness scale, preferably in the range 80-90.

  • the first central area will be made of a material having the required optical properties (e.g. silicone enriched with ceramic powder), while the second peripheral area will be made of a material which is air-permeable and, for example, also compressible.
  • Figure 4 shows a light source assembly 7 in accordance with a further variant of the present invention, in which the optical element 12 comprises a diffuser element 51 and a condenser element 52, which are mutually spaced apart by an annular spacer element 53.
