Description
- The present invention relates to a lighting apparatus that comprises a parallelepiped body extending vertically from a base that can be fixed to the ground, and a light source housed in an end portion of the body that can emit a beam of light in the radial direction.
- These types of apparatuses are usually used in external environments, for example for lighting pathways and gardens.
- The light generated by the light source can be emitted at an emission angle of 360° about the vertical apparatus axis, or at smaller angles of a preset size.
- In some embodiments, the light source directly emits the light in the radial direction and an anti-glare screen is therefore provided in the side wall of the body of the apparatus. If the light-emission angle is 360°, the screen may also function as a support for the top of the body of the apparatus that protects or houses the light source.
CN 204 665 085 U discloses a street lamp holder, including a top lighting head and a reflective member surrounded by a lamp shade. Another prior art lighting device is known fromCN 104 728 720 A . - The object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus of the type mentioned above, which does not require the presence of an anti-glare screen in the side wall of the body of the apparatus and which is therefore able to offer an improved lighting effect.

It is clear that the geometric shape of the slide can be selected on the basis of what direction the beam of light leaving the apparatus is intended to go in.
- In one embodiment, the
light source 14; 114 is positioned above the reflective slide. - In one embodiment, the
light source 14; 114 comprises an LED printed circuit board housed in a source seat that is made in the lighting head and is open towards thereflective slide 18; 118.

head support neck 20 comprises a side wall 20' that extends vertically from the radially inner edge of thereflective slide 18; 118 and is received in the innercentral portion 22 of the lighting head. - In this way, the
head support neck 20 is hidden from view and makes it possible to bring together thelower wall 13; 113 of the lighting head and the upper edge of thereflective slide 18; 118 substantially seamlessly, as can be observed in particular from the elevated views inFig. 1 and4 . - In one embodiment shown in the drawings, the
main body 10; 110 is substantially cylindrical. - In one embodiment, the
reflective slide 18; 118 is formed by at least one portion of a truncated cone-shaped side wall. - In accordance with another aspect of the invention, the
reflective slide 18; 118 comprises a surface knurling or groove, suitable to diffuse the light generated by the light source. - This surface knurling or groove therefore performs an anti-glare function.
- In one embodiment shown in the drawings, the surface knurling or groove is formed by an alternation of ridges and slopes, preferably having a radial extension.
- In one embodiment, the
reflective slide 18; 118 also comprises an opaque color, preferably black, which is useful for further improving the visual comfort, particularly in combination with the surface knurling or groove. - In one embodiment, if the reflective slide is conical, the ridges and slopes of the surface knurling become progressively wider towards the bottom so as to ensure uniform diffusion of the light.

light source 114 comprises an extension that is shape as a sector of a circular crown and extends in part around the innercentral portion 22. - The light emission aperture is preferably superimposed and coincides, in plan view, with the truncated cone-
shaped wall portion 118. - In this embodiment, the
upper portion 116 preferably forms a dampingsector 120 that extends at an angle between the ends of the truncated cone-shapedwall portion 118 and vertically from theside wall 4 to thelighting head 112. - In other words, this damping
sector 120 fills up the region beneath the lighting head that is not delimited between the reflective slide and the light emission portion of the lower wall of the lighting head. - In one embodiment, this damping
sector 120 is provided with acurb 122, at least along its radial edges, which penetrates thelighting head 112 in order to block the passage of light between the lighting head and the damping sector. - The description given above shows how the lighting apparatus according to the invention achieves the set aims.
