Description

Kit pour la réalisation d'un luminaire  Kit for the realization of a luminaire
La présente invention a pour objet un kit pour la réalisation d'un luminaire destiné plus particulièrement, mais pas exclusivement, à l'éclairage public, et qui soit adapté aussi bien aux zones urbaines ou périurbaines qu'aux zones rurales ou à tout autre endroit nécessitant un tel éclairage. The present invention relates to a kit for producing a luminaire intended more particularly, but not exclusively, to public lighting, and which is suitable both for urban or peri-urban areas or rural areas or any other place requiring such lighting.
En fait, la présente invention entend apporter une réponse universelle aux problématiques qui se posent actuellement tant sur le plan technique qu' esthétique dans la réalisation de luminaires de bonne facture.  In fact, the present invention intends to provide a universal answer to the problems that currently arise both technically and aesthetically in the production of luminaires of good quality.
A cet effet, l'invention a pour objectif principal de fournir une solution basée sur la technologie des lampes à diodes électroluminescentes (ou « lampes à LED ») , solution dont la mise en œuvre repose sur l'assemblage de quelques éléments de structure très simple et compacte conçus de manière à présenter un caractère standard, permettant de proposer une gamme de luminaires adaptés à une multiplicité de configurations, offrant une possibilité de design infinie, ainsi que des performances diverses, améliorées par rapport aux dispositifs classiques en termes de longévité, de consommation énergétique et de qualité d'éclairage.  For this purpose, the main objective of the invention is to provide a solution based on the technology of LED lamps (or "LED lamps"), a solution whose implementation is based on the assembly of a few elements of very strong structure. simple and compact designed to have a standard character, to offer a range of luminaires suitable for a multiplicity of configurations, offering an infinite design possibility, as well as various performance, improved compared to conventional devices in terms of longevity, energy consumption and lighting quality.
Un autre objectif de la présente invention est encore de proposer une solution permettant de générer un éclairage uniforme, permettant au public de repérer d'éventuels obstacles et changements de direction tout en limitant les éventuels phénomènes d'éblouissement sources d'inconfort, voire de mise en danger notamment de piétons ou d'usagers d'une chaussée.  Another objective of the present invention is to propose a solution for generating uniform illumination, allowing the public to identify possible obstacles and changes of direction while limiting possible glare phenomena sources of discomfort or even in danger especially of pedestrians or users of a roadway.
En d'autres termes, le présent demandeur a imaginé une solution dans laquelle les fonctions d'éclairage et d'aspect esthétique d'un luminaire peuvent pratiquement être assurées par son optique LED à elle seule à part entière, qui est rendue autonome et présente des fonctions plurielles, et ne nécessite pour son installation qu'un support sur lequel l'accrocher au moyen d'un organe de solidarisation , ces deux derniers pouvant le cas échéant également contribuer à conférer au luminaire le design final recherché. Dans la présente invention et conformément à ce qui est détaillé dans la norme EN 60598-1.2.1 « un luminaire est un appareil qui répartit, filtre ou transforme la lumière émise par une ou plusieurs lampes et qui comporte non les lampes elles- mêmes, mais toutes les pièces nécessaires pour le support, la fixation et la protection des lampes et, si nécessaire, les circuits auxiliaires et les moyens de branchement de ceux-ci au réseau d'alimentation » ; ainsi un luminaire implique l'utilisation de lampes mais n'est pas une lampe. In other words, the present applicant has devised a solution in which the lighting and aesthetic functions of a luminaire can practically be provided by its LED optics alone in its own right, which is made autonomous and present plural functions, and requires for its installation a support on which to hang by means of a securing member, the latter two may if necessary also contribute to give the luminaire the desired final design. In the present invention and in accordance with this which is detailed in standard EN 60598-1.2.1 "a luminaire is a device that distributes, filters or transforms the light emitted by one or more lamps and that does not include the lamps themselves, but all the parts necessary for the support the fixing and protection of the lamps and, if necessary, the auxiliary circuits and means of connection thereof to the supply network "; thus a luminaire involves the use of lamps but is not a lamp.
À cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un kit pour la réalisation d'un luminaire, ledit kit comprenant :  For this purpose, the subject of the invention is a kit for producing a luminaire, said kit comprising:
- un boîtier de forme plate et de surface plane, intégrant l'ensemble des moyens optiques, électroniques et électriques du luminaire (1) dont au moins une face est au moins partiellement vitrée, hébergeant au moins une carte de circuit imprimé sur laquelle est montée au moins une diode électroluminescente orientée en direction de la face au moins partiellement vitrée, un support pour accrocher ledit boîtier au-dessus d'une zone à éclairer, et  a box of flat shape and of flat surface, integrating all the optical, electronic and electrical means of the luminaire (1) of which at least one face is at least partially glazed, housing at least one printed circuit board on which is mounted at least one light-emitting diode oriented towards the at least partially glazed face, a support for hanging said housing over an area to be illuminated, and
un organe de solidarisation du boîtier audit support, comportant au moins un logement conçu apte à loger au moins une partie du boîtier, et un embout permettant la fixation du logement audit support. Une fois les éléments constituant le kit sélectionnés par le client, lesdits éléments vont être usinés afin de livrer un luminaire complet prêt à poser. Ce kit permet donc de proposer une gamme très vaste de luminaires ayant en commun un boîtier, un support et un organe de solidarisation tels que décrits ci-dessus.  a member for securing the housing to said support, comprising at least one designed housing adapted to accommodate at least a portion of the housing, and a nozzle for fixing the housing to said support. Once the elements constituting the kit selected by the customer, said elements will be machined to deliver a complete luminaire ready to install. This kit therefore makes it possible to offer a very wide range of luminaires having in common a housing, a support and a fastening member as described above.
Conformément à une variante de réalisation envisageable de du kit selon l'invention, l'organe de solidarisation comporte une articulation reliant ledit logement et ledit embout.  According to an alternative embodiment of the kit according to the invention, the securing member comprises a hinge connecting said housing and said tip.
Par ailleurs, il a également été imaginé que dans certains cas, ledit organe de solidarisation peut comporter une carrosserie conçue apte à habiller au moins partiellement ledit boîtier. C'est cette carrosserie qui peut notamment influer sur l'apparence générale du luminaire. Selon une variante de réalisation préférentielle de l'invention, ce dernier peut en outre être conçu de manière à comporter un fond surmonté par une paroi périphérique délimitant un espace de forme et de dimension ajustées en fonction du nombre de cartes de circuit imprimé hébergées par ledit boîtier, ledit espace étant fermé par ladite face au moins partiellement vitrée. Moreover, it has also been imagined that in certain cases, said securing member may comprise a body designed adapted to at least partially dress said housing. It is this body that can affect the overall appearance of the luminaire.

Ces moyens aptes à dissiper la chaleur n'influent aucunement sur le fait que le boîtier soit de forme plate et de surface externe plane.  It is also advantageously provided that said housing comprises means capable of dissipating the heat emitted by said light-emitting diode, and which may in particular be defined by the bottom and the peripheral wall of the housing made of a thermal conductive material selected from the group comprising the aluminum, an aluminum alloy, a steel, a composite material. These means capable of dissipating the heat do not in any way influence the fact that the housing is of flat shape and flat outer surface.
Une autre caractéristique de l'invention est encore définie par le fait que ledit espace est subdivisé en au moins deux compartiments coplanaires au moyen d'au moins une barre en « V » présentant deux flancs opposés réunis par un sommet et s'étendant le long du fond du boîtier de manière telle que son sommet est orienté en direction de la face au moins partiellement vitrée dudit boîtier.  Another feature of the invention is further defined by the fact that said space is subdivided into at least two coplanar compartments by means of at least one "V" bar having two opposite flanks united by a vertex and extending along the bottom of the housing so that its top is oriented towards the at least partially glazed face of said housing.
Par ailleurs, il peut encore être prévu que la face au moins partiellement vitrée repose et est fixée sur un épaulement s'étendant entre la face interne et le chant libre de la paroi périphérique du boîtier, et qui peut comporter, le cas échéant, une gorge pourvue d'un joint d'étanchéité.  Furthermore, it can also be provided that the at least partially glazed face rests and is fixed on a shoulder extending between the inner face and the free edge of the peripheral wall of the housing, and which may comprise, where appropriate, a groove provided with a seal.
Une caractéristique additionnelle de la présente invention est encore définie par le fait que le fond et/ou la paroi périphérique du boîtier comportent des orifices taraudés destinés à permettre la fixation dudit logement de l'organe de solidarisation sur ledit boîtier au moyen de vis.  An additional feature of the present invention is further defined by the fact that the bottom and / or the peripheral wall of the housing comprise threaded orifices intended to allow the fastening of said housing of the fastening member to said housing by means of screws.
Il peut également être prévu que ledit boîtier abrite de préférence des moyens de protection électrostatique de ladite carte de circuit imprimé.

En référence aux figures, la présente invention concerne un kit pour la réalisation d'un luminaire 1 se composant de différents éléments structurels, qui sont avantageusement disponibles chacun sous forme de gamme, et qui peuvent par conséquent être spécifiquement sélectionnés pour correspondre aux besoins exprimés aussi bien en termes d'éclairage que d'aspect esthétique final du luminaire 1. With reference to the figures, the present invention relates to a kit for producing a luminaire 1 consisting of different structural elements, which are advantageously available each in the form of a range, and which can therefore be specifically selected to correspond to the needs expressed as well. good in terms of lighting that final aesthetic appearance of the luminaire 1.
En particulier, le kit selon l'invention comporte en tant qu' élément structurel de base, un boîtier 2 intégrant l'ensemble des moyens optiques, électroniques et électriques du luminaire 1 et assurant par conséquent à lui seul au moins la fonction d'éclairage de ce dernier. En effet, comme on le verra plus en détails ci-après, le boîtier 2 peut également déterminer à lui seul l'aspect esthétique final du luminaire 1. Les figures 3-5 détaillent un boîtier 2 selon l'invention qui est plat et de surface externe plane. Cette forme plate et cette surface externe plane sont nécessaires à cet élément structurel de base pour permettre la modularité proposée par le kit selon l'invention. On voit notamment en figure 3 la forme plate du boîtier 2 avec ses surfaces nommées fond 3 et face vitrée 8 qui sont planes. In particular, the kit according to the invention comprises, as a basic structural element, a housing 2 integrating all the optical, electronic and electrical means of the luminaire 1 and thus ensuring, by itself, at least the lighting function. of the last. Indeed, as will be seen in more detail below, the housing 2 can also determine alone the final aesthetic appearance of the luminaire 1. Figures 3-5 detail a housing 2 according to the invention which is flat and flat outer surface. This flat shape and this flat outer surface are necessary for this basic structural element to allow the modularity proposed by the kit according to the invention. We see in particular in Figure 3 the flat shape of the housing 2 with its surfaces called bottom 3 and glass face 8 which are flat.
Dans la variante de réalisation illustrée, le boîtier 2 présente une forme de pavé comportant un fond 3 surmonté par une paroi périphérique 4 délimitant un espace 5 conçu apte à loger quatre cartes de circuit imprimé 6 portant chacune une pluralité de diodes électroluminescentes 7. Bien entendu, le boîtier 2 pourrait également héberger un nombre différent de cartes de circuit imprimé 6 ou présenter une autre forme, par exemple celle d'un disque d'épaisseur appropriée, ou toute autre conforme aux attentes exprimées.  In the variant embodiment illustrated, the casing 2 is in the form of a block comprising a bottom 3 surmounted by a peripheral wall 4 delimiting a space 5 designed capable of accommodating four printed circuit boards 6 each carrying a plurality of light-emitting diodes 7. Of course , the housing 2 could also host a different number of printed circuit boards 6 or have another form, for example that of a disc of appropriate thickness, or any other in accordance with the expressed expectations.
Dans un mode de réalisation particulier de l'invention le boîtier 2 de forme plate présente une épaisseur totale de 10 cm, plus préférentiellement une épaisseur comprise entre 1 et 4 cm et encre plus préférentiellement une épaisseur comprise entre 2 et 3 cm. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré le boîtier 2 de forme plate a une épaisseur totale de 3 cm.  In a particular embodiment of the invention, the box 2 of flat shape has a total thickness of 10 cm, more preferably a thickness of between 1 and 4 cm and more preferably a thickness of between 2 and 3 cm. In a preferred embodiment, the flat-shaped housing 2 has a total thickness of 3 cm.
Il convient de noter que la performance des diodes électroluminescentes 7 montées sur chacune des cartes de circuit imprimé 6, est améliorée par la présence de lentilles 70, de préférence interchangeables, qui permettent d'obtenir une distribution photométrique par réfraction du rayonnement lumineux bien supérieure en qualité à celle d'une distribution par réflexion obtenue au moyen de lampes à décharge classiques.  It should be noted that the performance of the light-emitting diodes 7 mounted on each of the printed circuit boards 6, is improved by the presence of lenses 70, preferably interchangeable, which make it possible to obtain a photometric distribution by refraction of the much higher luminous radiation. quality to that of a reflection distribution obtained by means of conventional discharge lamps.
D'autre part, en référence aux figures, l'espace 5 est recouvert par une face 8 comportant une zone vitrée 9, réalisée de préférence en verre trempé à haute résistance aux chocs ou en tout autre matériau à propriétés équivalentes, et apte à permettre le passage du rayonnement lumineux émis par les diodes électroluminescentes 7.  On the other hand, with reference to the figures, space 5 is covered by a face 8 comprising a glazed area 9, preferably made of toughened glass with high impact resistance or any other material with equivalent properties, and capable of permitting the passage of the light radiation emitted by the light-emitting diodes 7.
A ce propos, il est prévu que la face vitrée 8 repose sur un épaulement 10, s'étendant entre la face interne 40 et le chant libre 41 de la paroi périphérique 4 du boîtier 2, et sur lequel elle est fixée, par exemple au moyen d'une colle de composition appropriée. Par ailleurs, l'étanchéité de l'espace 5 est assurée au moyen d'un joint, disposé entre la face vitrée 8 et l'épaulement 10, dans une gorge 11 que comporte ce dernier. Il est précisé que conformément à une variante de réalisation préférentielle, il peut être prévu que la colle utilisée pour fixer la face vitrée 8 sur l'épaulement 10 joue conjointement le rôle de joint d'étanchéité. In this regard, it is expected that the glass face 8 rests on a shoulder 10, extending between the inner face 40 and the song free 41 of the peripheral wall 4 of the housing 2, and on which it is fixed, for example by means of a glue of appropriate composition. Furthermore, the sealing of the space 5 is provided by means of a seal, disposed between the glass face 8 and the shoulder 10, in a groove 11 that comprises the latter. It is specified that according to a preferred embodiment, it can be provided that the glue used to fix the glass face 8 on the shoulder 10 jointly plays the role of seal.
Conformément à l'invention, les cartes de circuit imprimé 6 sont avantageusement disposées dans l'espace 5 de manière telle qu'elles se situent au contact tant du fond 3 que de la paroi périphérique 4 du boîtier 2, qui sont avantageusement réalisés en un matériau conducteur thermique tel que par exemple de l'aluminium, un alliage d'aluminium, un acier, un matériau composite, ou en tout autre matériau présentant des propriétés équivalentes .  According to the invention, the printed circuit boards 6 are advantageously arranged in the space 5 so that they are in contact with both the bottom 3 and the peripheral wall 4 of the housing 2, which are advantageously made of a thermal conductive material such as for example aluminum, an aluminum alloy, a steel, a composite material, or any other material having equivalent properties.
Grâce à une telle structure, les cartes de circuit imprimé 6 profitent de la masse du corps du boîtier 2 qui, faisant office de radiateur, se refroidit rapidement au contact de l'air extérieur. Le boîtier 2 en tant que tel permet ainsi de contrôler 1' échauffement inhérent au fonctionnement des diodes électroluminescentes 7, et d'éviter que celles-ci ne soient soumises à des températures supérieures à environ 85°C. En effet, de manière connue, au-delà de ce seuil, l'intégrité des diodes électroluminescentes 7, et par conséquent leur longévité, est menacée .  With such a structure, the printed circuit boards 6 take advantage of the mass of the housing body 2 which, as a radiator, cools quickly in contact with the outside air. The housing 2 as such thus makes it possible to control the heating inherent in the operation of the light-emitting diodes 7, and to prevent them from being subjected to temperatures higher than about 85 ° C. In fact, in known manner, beyond this threshold, the integrity of the light-emitting diodes 7, and consequently their longevity, is threatened.
Conformément à une autre caractéristique de l'invention, dans la variante de réalisation illustrée, l'espace 5 est subdivisé, au moyen de trois barres 13 à section en « V », en quatre compartiments coplanaires 12, hébergeant chacun une carte de circuit imprimé 6. Les barres 13 présentent chacune deux flancs opposés 14a, 14b réunis par un sommet 15, et s'étendent le long du fond 3 du boîtier 2 de manière telle que leur sommet 15 est orienté en direction de la face vitrée 8 du boîtier 2. En fait, chacune des barres 13 est spécifiquement étudiée, structurée et disposée dans l'espace 5 de manière à définir une surface jouant le rôle d'un mur anti-éblouissement pour un usager de la zone dans laquelle le luminaire 1 est implanté. En d'autres termes, la présence des barres 13 permet de conférer d'excellentes performances en termes de confort au luminaire 1 présentant par ailleurs d'ores et déjà d'excellentes performances en termes d'éclairage au travers des lentilles 70. According to another characteristic of the invention, in the variant embodiment illustrated, the space 5 is subdivided, by means of three bars 13 with a "V" section, into four coplanar compartments 12, each housing a printed circuit board 6. The bars 13 each have two opposite sides 14a, 14b joined by a vertex 15, and extend along the bottom 3 of the housing 2 so that their apex 15 is oriented towards the glass face 8 of the housing 2 . In fact, each of the bars 13 is specifically studied, structured and arranged in the space 5 so as to define a surface acting as an anti-glare wall for a user of the area in which the luminaire 1 is implanted. In other words, the presence of the bars 13 makes it possible to confer excellent performance in terms of comfort to the luminaire 1, which also already has excellent lighting performance through the lenses 70.
De plus, les barres 13 présentent l'avantage de définir chacune une surface d'échanges thermique supplémentaire, permettant de contribuer à la dissipation de l' échauffement induit par les diodes électroluminescentes 7 lorsqu'elles fonctionnent. En d'autres termes, la présence des barres 13 permet de réduire encore plus efficacement la chaleur dégagée par les cartes de circuit électronique 6 et par conséquent de contribuer à l'allongement de la longévité du luminaire 1.  In addition, the bars 13 have the advantage of defining each an additional heat exchange surface, to contribute to the dissipation of the heating induced by the light emitting diodes 7 when they work. In other words, the presence of the bars 13 makes it possible to reduce the heat generated by the electronic circuit boards 6 even more efficiently and consequently to contribute to the extension of the longevity of the luminaire 1.
Dans un objectif similaire de préservation de l'intégrité du luminaire 1, et de suppression de toute opération de maintenance, comme notamment le remplacement des ampoules, la présente invention a également prévu que le volume disponible à l'intérieur du boîtier 2, en dehors de l'espace 5, est conçu apte à recevoir tous les organes électriques et électroniques nécessaires au fonctionnement pérenne des diodes électroluminescentes 7. A cet effet, le boîtier 2 renferme une cavité additionnelle 16 abritant, entre autres, des moyens de protection des cartes de circuit imprimé 6 contre les nuisances de courant électrostatique. La cavité 16 peut également renfermer un filtre thermique supplémentaire pour parer à des fonctionnements sous des températures inhabituelles.  For a similar purpose of preserving the integrity of the luminaire 1, and of eliminating any maintenance operation, such as in particular the replacement of the bulbs, the present invention has also provided that the volume available inside the casing 2, outside of the space 5, is designed capable of receiving all the electrical and electronic components necessary for the long-term operation of the light-emitting diodes 7. For this purpose, the housing 2 encloses an additional cavity 16 housing, inter alia, means for protecting the light-emitting diodes. printed circuit board 6 against the electrostatic current nuisance. The cavity 16 may also contain an additional thermal filter to counteract operation under unusual temperatures.
D'autre part, le kit objet de la présente invention comporte, en plus du boîtier 2, un support 17 pour accrocher ce dernier au- dessus d'une zone à éclairer et intégrant des moyens de pilotage des cartes de circuit électronique 6 et par conséquent des diodes électroluminescentes 7, reliés audit boîtier 2 par une liaison filaire. Une telle caractéristique permet, si nécessaire, de procéder à un remplacement des moyens de pilotage sans avoir à accéder ou à démonter le boîtier 2. On the other hand, the kit object of the present invention comprises, in addition to the housing 2, a support 17 for hanging the latter above an area to be illuminated and incorporating control means of the electronic circuit cards 6 and by consequently, light-emitting diodes 7 connected to said housing 2 by a wire link. Such a characteristic allows, if necessary, proceed to a replacement of the control means without having to access or dismantle the housing 2.
Dans la variante de réalisation illustrée, le support est défini par un mât 17 destiné à être ancré au sol, par exemple le long d'une chaussée, ou fixé sur une façade ou un mur d'un bâtiment. Bien entendu, d'autres types de supports sont également envisageables, tels que par exemple un câble tendu entre deux bâtiments respectivement situés de part et d'autre d'une chaussée.  In the illustrated embodiment, the support is defined by a mast 17 intended to be anchored to the ground, for example along a roadway, or fixed on a facade or a wall of a building. Of course, other types of supports are also conceivable, such as for example a cable stretched between two buildings located respectively on either side of a roadway.
Le boîtier 2 est par ailleurs relié au mât 17 au moyen d'un organe de solidarisation 18. Ce dernier comporte un logement 19, au creux duquel est fixé le boîtier 2, par exemple au moyen de vis vissées dans des orifices taraudés (non illustrés) dont est pourvu le fond 3 du boîtier 2 dont l'épaisseur est adaptée en conséquence. Dans la variante de réalisation illustrée, le logement 19 est solidaire d'une carrosserie 21 recouvrant le fond 3 du boîtier 2 et octroyant au luminaire 1 un aspect esthétique particulier .  The housing 2 is also connected to the mast 17 by means of a securing member 18. The latter comprises a housing 19, the recess of which is fixed the housing 2, for example by means of screws screwed into threaded orifices (not shown ) which is provided the bottom 3 of the housing 2, the thickness is adapted accordingly. In the embodiment shown, the housing 19 is integral with a body 21 covering the bottom 3 of the housing 2 and granting the luminaire 1 a particular aesthetic appearance.
L'organe de solidarisation 18 comporte par ailleurs un embout 20 solidaire du logement 19 et permettant la fixation de ce dernier au mât 17 par des moyens d'assemblage appropriés. Il convient de préciser que dans le cadre de l'invention, l'organe de solidarisation 18 peut présenter de multiples autres formes que celles illustrées à la figure 1, chacune d'entre elles conférant au luminaire 1 le design recherché, qui peut avantageusement être extrêmement épuré ou à l'inverse de style par exemple baroque pour répondre à tous les goûts.  The securing member 18 furthermore comprises an end piece 20 secured to the housing 19 and enabling the latter to be fixed to the mast 17 by appropriate assembly means. It should be noted that in the context of the invention, the fastening member 18 may have many other forms than those illustrated in Figure 1, each of them giving the luminaire 1 the desired design, which can advantageously be extremely uncluttered or conversely style for example baroque to suit all tastes.
Par ailleurs, il peut également être prévu d'utiliser un organe de solidarisation 180 (cf. fig. 5) présentant un embout 200 relié à un logement 190 au moyen d'une articulation 22 permettant de modifier l'orientation du logement 190, dans lequel est fixé le boîtier 2, par rapport à l'embout 200. Une telle structure d'organe de solidarisation 180 permet, lors de l'installation d'un luminaire obtenu au moyen d'un kit selon l'invention, de procéder éventuellement à des réglages permettant d'ajuster la position du boîtier 2 au-dessus de la zone à éclairer afin de diriger l'éclairage de manière plus précise vers celle-ci. Tel qu'il ressort clairement de ce qui précède, le kit selon la présente invention permet d'atteindre les objectifs fixés en préambule. En effet, chacun des éléments structurels le composant est disponible sous forme d'une gamme infinie parmi laquelle il peut être spécifiquement sélectionné pour composer à chaque fois des luminaires différents. Furthermore, it may also be envisaged to use a securing member 180 (see FIG 5) having a tip 200 connected to a housing 190 by means of a hinge 22 for changing the orientation of the housing 190, in which is fixed the housing 2, relative to the endpiece 200. Such a fastening member structure 180 allows, when installing a fixture obtained by means of a kit according to the invention, to possibly proceed. adjustments to adjust the position of the housing 2 above the area to be illuminated to direct the lighting more accurately to it. As is clear from the above, the kit according to the present invention achieves the objectives set in the preamble. Indeed, each of the structural elements the component is available in the form of an infinite range from which it can be specifically selected to compose each time different luminaires.
Ainsi, le boîtier 2 peut présenter toutes les formes possibles et imaginables et héberger un nombre variable de cartes de circuit imprimées 6 portant la quantité de diodes électroluminescentes 7 nécessaire à la puissance d'éclairage souhaitée .  Thus, the housing 2 can have all possible shapes and imaginable and accommodate a variable number of printed circuit boards 6 carrying the amount of light emitting diodes 7 necessary for the desired lighting power.
De plus, comme déjà indiqué ci-dessus, le support peut se présenter sous la forme d'un mât 17 très simple ou sous toute autre forme, et peut en outre présenter en tant que tel un aspect esthétique original ou comporter des accessoires lui conférant un tel aspect. Il en va de même en ce qui concerne l'organe de solidarisation 18.  In addition, as already indicated above, the support may be in the form of a mast 17 very simple or in any other form, and may further present as such an original aesthetic appearance or include accessories conferring such an aspect. The same applies to the solidarization body 18.
En d'autres termes, grâce à ses trois éléments structurels de base, le kit selon l'invention permet d'aboutir à un luminaire aux allures très modernes, plus petit et plus plat que les luminaires classiques. Une forme claire et très épurée peut notamment être obtenue en associant un boîtier 2 à un support réduit à sa plus simple structure au moyen d'un organe de solidarisation compact dépourvu de carrosserie. Une telle forme répond parfaitement aux exigences actuelles des marchés correspondants.  In other words, thanks to its three basic structural elements, the kit according to the invention leads to a very modern luminaire, smaller and flatter than conventional luminaires. A clear and very refined form can in particular be obtained by combining a housing 2 to a reduced support to its simplest structure by means of a compact fastening member devoid of bodywork. Such a form perfectly meets the current requirements of the corresponding markets.
Par ailleurs, le kit selon l'invention permet de réaliser un luminaire 1 conçu pour fonctionner en moyenne une vingtaine d'années, indépendamment de toute opération de maintenance. A cet effet, le boîtier 2 est équipé de moyens garantissant son étanchéité et son inviolabilité, son alimentation électrique s'effectuant par l'extérieur, grâce à un câblage étanche réalisé en usine et adapté à la configuration de l'installation.  Furthermore, the kit according to the invention makes it possible to produce a luminaire 1 designed to operate on average twenty years, regardless of any maintenance operation. For this purpose, the housing 2 is equipped with means ensuring its tightness and inviolability, its power supply being effected from the outside, thanks to a sealed wiring made in the factory and adapted to the configuration of the installation.
