- PATENIEBSEP I 1 Ian SHEEI 8 OF 8 FIG /7 SYMMETRICAL DISTRIBUTION ASYMMETRICAL DISTRIBUTION 75 I CUTOFF I LINE '1 TYPICAL ROADWAY 1 LIGHTING FIXTURES BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
- This invention relates to lighting fixtures and is more particularly concerned with outdoor lighting fixtures of the type supported upon posts or poles.
- My prior US. Pat. No. 3,651,320 granted Mar. 21, 1972, discloses a lighting fixture which provides even illumination over a large area of the ground and which provides complete glare cut-off above a selected angle relative to downward vertical, such as an angle of 72.
- the intensity of the light emitted. by the fixture is relatively low directly below the fixture, and the intensity increases smoothly as the angle of emitted light relative to downward vertical increases up to a predetermined angle, so that light which travels farther to reach the ground has greater intensity.
- the lighting fixture of my prior patent employs a pair of re flectors, one of which is substantially tubular and surrounds a portion of the lamp and the other of which is spaced above the first reflector and has a larger diame ter.
- An enclosure of light-transmitting material having a diameter not less than the diameter of the upper reflector extends between and is connected to the reflectors.
- the enclosure has a central opening on its underside, and an annular support member is secured to the enclosure and extends through the opening.
- the lower reflector is mounted on the support member and extends therethrough into the enclosure.
- the lamp which is hidden from view, emits light to the upper reflector directly, as well as by reflection from the lower reflector.
- the upper reflector distributes the light in the'desired pattern.
- a further object of the invention is to provide lighting fixtures of the aforesaid type which are compact, simple in construction, sturdy, and aesthetically pleasing.
- Another object of the invention is to provide lighting fixtures of the aforesaid type which may be used with a wide variety of lamps, but particularly lamps having elongated light sources, such as filaments or are tubes which may be positioned vertically.
- a further object of the invention is to provide lighting fixtures of the aforesaid type which produce large amounts of light at high angles relative to downward vertical but in which the light is substantially cut off at a selected angle less than relative to downward vertical.
- Still another object of the invention is to provide lighting fixtures of the aforesaid type incorporating a simple but effective glare cut-off baffle.
- a still further object of the invention is to provide lighting fixtures of the aforesaid type in which the intensity of the light projected is greatest at a selected high angle relative to downward vertical and decreases progressively at lower angles to provide substantially even illumination over a large area beneath the fixture.
- Yet another object of the invention is to provide lighting fixtures of the aforesaid type in which fill-in illumination adjacent to a post is readily achieved.
- a still further object of the invention is to provide unique lighting fixtures having an upper reflector and a lower reflector, in which the lower reflector, serving to distribute light, is surrounded by a light-transmitting section of an enclosure, the upper reflector and upper section of the enclosure being supported securely, unobtrusively, and independently of the light-transmitting section of the enclosure.
- An additional object of the invention is to provide such lighting fixtures in which the lamp is accurately positioned in a simple manner and in which access to the lamp is easily obtained.
- preferred embodiments of the invention employ a pair of reflectors in conjunction with a lamp having an elongated light source that is oriented vertically.
- One of the reflectors is disposed above the other reflector, surrounds the light source, and reflects light from the source to the lower reflector, which projects and distributes the light.
- the upper reflector has a downwardly-facing concave internal reflecting surface which is a surface of revolution about a vertical axis aligned with the light source.
- the lower reflector has a concave external reflecting surface which faces upwardly and outwardly and which is also a surface of revolution about the vertical axis.
- Light emitted from the upper end of the light source is reflected from the upper reflector to the lower reflector and is projected by the lower reflector at a high angle relative to downward vertical, such as 67.
- Light emitted from the lower end of the light source is reflected from the upper reflector to the lower reflector and is projected by the lower reflector at a somewhat lower angle, such as 48.
- light emitted from the upper end of the light source covers much more of the height of the lower reflector than light emitted from the lower end of the light source.
- Light is also emitted directly from the lamp, without reflection. The intensity of this light is greatest at an angle relative to the downward vertical such as 52, decreasing at higher and lower angles.
- the intensity curves of light projected by the lower reflector and light emitted directly from the lamp are oppositely directed, the former increasing with increase in vertical angle and the latter decreasing.
- An inwardly directing glare baffle at the bottom of the upper reflector ensures light cutoff at a predetermined maximum angle, such as 75 relative to downward vertical.
- Fill-in illumination immediately below the fixture may be provided by stray light from the upper reflector, which may be emitted from the lamp envelope, and/or by light reflected from the inner surface of a light-transmitting enclosure section which surrounds the lower reflector.
- illumination may be increased in certain azimuthal directions and decreased in others.
- the upper reflector and the upper section of the enclosure are supported upon arms which radiate from a structural tube extending through the lower reflector, and the support is independent of the light-transmitting section of the enclosure which surrounds the lower reflector.
- the lamp is received in a centered receptacle within the tube and is seated at the upper end of the tube. Access to the lamp is provided by forming the upper reflector in two parts, one part being movable with a top wall of the enclosure to expose the lamp.

- the lighting fixture 10 comprises an enclosure 12 with an upper section 14, which may be entirely opaque, and a lower section 16, which may be light-transmitting on all sides and on the outer portions of the bottom which extend beyond a base plate 18 on which the fixture is mounted.
- the base plate has a tubular depending neck 20 by which the lighting fixture is supported at the top of a post or pole in a conventional manner.
- the light-transmitting section of the enclosure does not extend into the bottom wall of the enclosure, and the enclosure is supported upon the top of a short post 22 as an extension of the post, so that the lighting fixture appears to be'incorporated into the I post.
- the post of FIG. 3, including the fixture, may be approximately 42 inches high, for example, while the post 22 of FIG. 1 may range in length from approximately 8 feet to approximately 25 feet, for example.
- FIG. 5 a lighting fixture 10 is illustrated which, for purposes of explanation, may be assumed to be the-fixture of FIG. 1, although the basic configuration is applicable to the fixture of FIG. 3 also.
- the lighting fixture comprises a first or upper reflector 24 and a second or lower reflector 26.
- the lower reflector 26 is clearly visible in FIG. 1 and its counterpart 26' is clearly visible in FIG. 3.
- the upper reflector 24 has a downwardly facing concave internal reflecting outwardly somewhat as shown at 32.
- the upper reflector may be termed a collecting reflector, while the lower reflector may be termed a distributing reflector.
- the lower reflector has a concave external reflecting surface 34 which faces upwardly somewhat and laterallyoutward.
- the reflectingsurface 34 is also a surface of revolution about vertical axis V V. Both reflecting surfaces have a specular (mirror polish) finish. While the upper reflector has the general shape of an inverted dish, the lower reflector is tapered, the upper end of the reflecting surface being closer to the axis VV than the lower end. In the form shown, the lower reflector is tubular and contains a receptacle orsocket 36 which receives a lamp 38.
- the lamp which has its base engaged within the receptacle 36, has an elongated lightsource 40, such as an arc tube or an elongated filament, and has an envelope 42 which may be a passive envelope or which may itself be light-emitting, as in certain phosphor coated mercury vapor lamps. As shown in FIG. 5, the elongated light source 40 is aligned with the vertical axis V-V and is surrounded by the collecting reflector 24.
- the lighting fixtures of the invention may be used with almost all lamps commonly employed for outdoor lighting, such as the BT and E shaped mercury vapor lamps, BT and E shaped metal halide lamps, and T shaped high pressure sodium lamps, T shaped quartz lamps and A and PS shaped incandescent lamps. These lamps have differing desirable qualities, such as long life, good lumen maintenance, etc., and it is a distinct advantage of the invention that the lighting fixtures of the invention may be employed with all of them.
- the lighting fixtures of the invention are designed to project the greatest amount of light at a high angle relative to downward vertical and to produce a symmetrical or controlled asymmetrical light distribution pattern on the ground, with even illumination over a wide area.
- the amount of light projected increases progressively (up to a predetermined angle) as the angle increases relative to downward vertical. This increase of light tends to balance the diminution of light reaching the ground caused by the greater distance traveled at high angles.
- light from point A at the upper end of the light source 40 is reflected from the collecting reflector 24 to the distributing reflector 26, which redirects the light outwardly and downwardly toward the ground at a predetermined high angle, such as approximately 67 above downward vertical, as shown by rays a.
- the amount of flash that is, the length of the Light emitted from point B at the lower endof the light source 40 is also reflected by the collecting reflector 24 to the distributing reflector 36 and is projected outwardly at a lower angle, such as approximately 48 relative to downward vertical, as indicated by rays 0.
- the image of the arc tube on the distributing reflector at 48 covers much less than the full length of the distributing reflector, and hence the light intensity at this angle is not a maximum.
- Light emitted from the light source 40 between points A and B is reflected from collecting reflector 24 to the distributing reflector 26 and is redirected outwardly by the distributing reflector at angles which fill in the angles between 67 and 48.
- the reduction of image length on the distributing reflector is progressive as the beam moves from 67 to lower angles, and therefore the intensity of light projected is reduced in a like manner.
- Some light is emitted directly from the light source 40 without striking reflectors. This light has been indicated in FIG. 5 by rays e and f at 67 and 52, respectively, relative to downward vertical. More such light is emitted at low angles, toward 52, than at higher an gles, toward 67. The amount of light increases as the angle decreases from 67 until at approximately 52 the amount of light begins to decrease progressively. If two intensity curves were plotted in a vertical plane containing the axis VV, one for reflected light and the other for light emitted directly from the light source 40, the two curves would be oppositely directed above 52, the intensity of the light emitted from the reflectors increasing progressively above 52 and the intensity of the directly emitted light decreasing progressively above 52.
- Total intensity of the light emitted at each angle is the sum of the two. If the number 1.0 represents the full intensity of light per inch emitted directly from the arc tube and if this number is multiplied by the length of the arc tube visible between the reflectors at its maximum (52), which may be 1.25 inches, the resulting intensity figure is 1.25. Assuming percent reflector efficiency, the number 0.64 then indicates the intensity of light per inch reflected from the collecting and distributing reflectors in sequence (0.8 X 0.8). At its maximum (67) the image of thearc tube covers the full length of the distributing reflector, as noted above, which may be 9 inches long. The resulting intensity is thus 5.76 (0.64 X 9). This confirms that the light projected by the reflector system contributes much more intensity than the light emitted directly from the light source.
- FIG. 2 is a candlepower distribution curve, being downward vertical and 90 being horizontal.
- the curve is shown only for the quadrant between 0 and 90, the same curve would be obtained in the quadrant between 0 and 90 (and in any plane containing the axis of the lighting fixture) due to the symmetrical construction.
- the intensity of light is low at 0, toward the bottom of the pole or post on which the lighting fixture is mounted. From 0 to about 45 most of the light is in fact stray light, which will be explained later.
- the intensity climbs steadily to a maximum at approximately 60 and remains near maximum until 67, where it rapidly falls off, disappearing completely at angles which exceed the angle of greatest intensity by approximately 10 to Since these higher angles are the ones at which the fixture will usually be observed, the result is the total elimination of glare, with only a soft glow remaining at the fixture for aesthetic purposes. Moreover, the light distribution on the ground is unusually constant over a wide area.
- the reflector system will, in itself, eliminate glare. Since light emitted from points low on the arc tube or filament (point B) is distributed at low angles by the invention and since light emitted from high on the arc tube or filament (point A) is distributed at high angles by the invention, the arc tube or filament need only be positioned so that its upper end is located at the exact point where beam cut-off is desired.
- Lamps which emit light only from the arc tube or filament are the high pressure sodium, metal halide and clear mercury lamps (are tube types), and the single end quartz and clear incandescent lamps (filament types).
- the most popular outdoor lamps are the phosphor coated mercury vapor lamps. While the major position of the light comes from the arc tube of these lamps as well, the phosphor coating which covers the entire lamp envelope radiates enough light to cause considerable glare. It is possible to make the reflector system large enough so that the arc tube would be in position to emit maximum intensity at 60 and still have the top of the lamp envelope occur at the point where beam cut-off is desired. However, since the compactness of the invention is a major advantage, this would be undesirable. To eliminate glare without requiring a larger reflector system the invention employs a glare baffle 44 (FIG.
- FIG. 5 which may be a horizontal rectangular plate with a large circular opening centered on the vertical axis V-V and with the plate material which surrounds the opening constituting an annulus which protrudes inwardly toward the axis V-V from the bottom of the collecting reflector 24.
- the operation of the glare baffle is illustrated in FIG. 6.
- the reflector system is so designed that light rays which are ultimately projected outwardly at low angles travel between the collecting and distributing relectors in such a way that they cross at points relatively close to the vertical axis near the open end of the collecting reflector, in comparison to rays which are ultimately projected at higher angles and which cross at points farther from the vertical axis.
- FIG. 7 represents the embodiment of FIG. 1, that is, a lighting fixture mounted high on a pole
- the light-transmitting section 16 of the enclosure extends into the bottom wall beneath the fixture.
- Light coming directly from the lamp 38, either from the envelope 42 or the light source 40, is intercepted by the side wall of the light-transmitting enclosure section 16 at a low angle, approximately 18 with a phosphor coated lamp and approximately 28 with a clear lamp, as indicated by the rays h and i, respectively.
- Stray light from the upper reflector 24 extends down at an angle of approximately 8 with respect to downward vertical, as indicated by ray j.
- Light rays such as ray j pass directly through the light-transmitting section at the bottom of the enclosure, while light rays such as rays i and h strike the inner surface of the enclosure at such a low angle of incidence that the inner surface of the enclosure acts as a reflector and redirects some of this light toward and even beyond the vertical axis, as indicated by dashed portions of the rays, thereby providing fill-in illumination for the area beneath the lighting fixture. Since the inner surface of the enclosure receives light rays at many different angles, it is not necessary that the sides of the enclosure be vertical for proper operation, and the side walls may be flared, for example.
- FIGS. 3 and 4 where, for aesthetic reasons, the light-transmitting section of the enclosure does not extend inwardly beneath the fixture, rays such as rays h and i in FIG. 7 cannot be directed inwardly toward the vertical axis. However, there is still some fill-in illumination as indicated by rays k and l in FIG. 4 emitted directly from the lamp envelope 42 and by reflection from the collecting reflector 24, for example. Since the lighting fixture of FIGS. 3 and 4 is supported quite close to the ground, the dark circle extends only about seven inches beyond the base of the post and is not objectionable.
- greatest beam intensity occurs at about relative to downward vertical, and the beam disappears at slightly below Since the-reflector system is circular in its horizontal cross-section, the pattern of light projected on the ground will ordinarily be symmetrical about. the vertical axis. Although asymmetrical patterns could be achieved by blocking out light from various portions of the collecting reflector, either by extending areas of the glare baffle inwardly or by simply painting sections of the collecting reflector black, for example, such methods would create asymmetry by diminishing illumination in certain areas without increasing it in other areas. Light would thus be wasted. Asymmetry could also be achieved by changing the contour angle of selected sections of the distributing reflector, but since this reflector is visible to the observer, an obvious change of this sort has aesthetic disadvantages.
- FIG. 12 illustrates a bettersolution to this problem, the figure being a horizontal cross-section taken through the lamp and collecting reflector as indicatedin FIG. 11. Light striking the concentric surface of the collecting reflector is reflected directly back to the distributing reflector in a radial plane and from there is projected outward in the same plane. This is indicated diagrammatically by ray m.
- the non-concentric reflector sections can be given a semi-diffuse reflector finish, so that the major "portionof the light will follow the direction imparted by a specular finish, but enough stray (diffused) light will'be created to fill-in theaffected area.
- FIG. 17 illustrates the usual symmetrical light distribution produced on the ground surrounding a poleK when the concentric reflector arrangement of the invention is not modified.
- FIG. 18 illustrates an asymmetrical light distribution (shown superimposed on a symmetrical distribution for comparison) which may be produced in a manner described hereinafter. It will be noted that FIGS. 17 and 18 are divided by orthogonal lines L and M radiating from the pole K, line L being parallel to a typical roadway (so-labeled) at one side of the line, and line M being perpendicular to the roadway. Lines L and M are also indicated in FIG. 15.
- Sections 46 and 46" are oppositely angulated in a horizontal plane with respect to line M, and since the sections and their orientation are identical, except for the opposite angulation, a description of the operation of section 46' will suffice for both.
- the non-concentric orientation of section 46' in a horizontal plane causes rays such as q and r emanating from the arc tube 40 and reflected from section 46 to be reflected past the distributing reflector 26 at one side thereof. Rays will be similarly reflected from section 46 at the opposite side of the distributingreflector, so
- FIG. 16 illustrates light raysof one of the beams in a vertical plane. With the non-concentric reflector section 46' of the heightshown, the beam extends from approximately 50 upto approximately 75 from downward vertical. It is apparent that if the reflector section 46 were taller, the beam would extend to an angle lower than 50.
- the basic symmetrical distribution is altered to create a relatively long rectangular pattern on the street side. Since light was taken from the house side to create the additional beams referred to above, the distribution is reduced at the house side.
- FIG. 18 also illustratesa 75 cut-off line. This line is established by determining the point at which a ray at 75 with respect to downward vertical would strike the ground along line L. From this point the 75 cut-off line ground within the 75 cut-off line.
- FIG.8 Themechanical construction of a practical form of the invention, corresponding to FIG. 1 but largelyapplicable to FIG. 3 also, is illustrated in FIG.8,:the view being taken along line 8-8 of the bottom view of'FIG.
- the outer configuration is only one of many possible configurations, which may range from contemporary to traditional lantern shapes, for example, all of which may employ the same optical system.
- the tubular neck of the base plate 18 supports the entire fixture.
- An inverted cup-shaped base 48 has a skirt 50 which may be secured to the base plate 18 by screws 52, the periphery of the skirt 50 being flared upwardly and outwardly to engage and support the bottom of the distributing reflector 26.
- a structural tube 54 is supported upon the top of base 48, being secured thereto by screws 56, and has an open upper end which projects from the top of the distributing reflector 26.
- a lamp receptable or socket 58 is mounted on a sleeve 60 which has a reduced diameter portion extending downwardly through openings in the bottom of tube 54 and the top of base 48.
- a helical compression spring 62 surrounds the lower portion of sleeve 60 and is held captive between washers 64 and 66, washer 64 abutting the top of base 48 and washer 66 being supported on a nut 68 threaded onto the bottom of sleeve 60. The spring biases receptacle 58 downwardly.
- the socket 58 When the lamp 38 is engaged with the receptacle 58, as by being threaded therein, the socket 58 is drawn upwardly, spring 62 being compressed, and the shoulder of the lamp envelope is drawn downwardly upon a circular ring seat 70 provided at the top of tube 54.
- This centering ring seat and a further centering ring 72 which surrounds the receptacle 58 and guides the reciprocative movement of the receptacle within the tube 54, ensure that the lamp 38 is properly positioned relative to the reflector system.
- the lamp is shown base down in FIG. 8, it may be supported base up as indicated in FIG. 10.
- the socket 58 is again springloaded in a downward direction, by springs 62, and the top of the lamp is held against the seat 70, which centers the lamp and holds it vertical.
- the seat presses the spring-loaded lamp up into position when the hinged or removable top wall of the enclosure is closed.
- horizontal supporting arms 74 (see FIGS. 1 and 8) have their inner ends attached to a ring 75 fixed about the upper end of tube 54.
- the arms radiate from the tube, and their outer ends support the upper portion of the fixture, including the glare baffle 44, the collecting reflector 24, and the upper section 14 of the enclosure 12.
- the portions of the arms spanning the space between tube 54 and glare baffle 44 have small thickness relative to height, so that the arms have the appearance of vertical fins, which have adequate structural strength without significantly interrupting optical paths.
- the outer ends of the arms fit into notches in the glare baffle and have portions bent horizontally to receive screws 75a which fix the glare baffle to the arms.
- Screws 75b and 75c fix the collecting reflector to the glare baffle and the upper enclosure section 14 to the glare baffle, respectively.
- the arms preferably have a highly specular finish similar to the collecting reflector 24, so that they are almost invisible when viewed at normal angles (from below).
- the arms may simply be painted black. Since the upper portion of the lighting fixture is supported upon and connected to the neck 20 by the structural tube and arm assembly, the light-transmitting enclosure section 16 may simply float, without structural strain, between upper and lower cushions 76 and 78, the bottom wall being positioned by screws d passing therethrough and threaded into base 48. This is highly advantageous, because the light-transmitting enclosure section is normally the weakest part of the lighting fixture. If this section is shattered, the upper portion of the. lighting fixture will still be supported.
- the collecting reflector 24 is preferably constructed in two sections, with an upper section 80'being removable from the remaining lower section of the reflector and spring-biased toward it by means of compression springs 82, so that the upper section rests firmly against the lower section when in place.
- the upper section 80 may have a cupped portion 84 depending-from a plate 86, screws 88 passing loosely through plate 86 and being threaded into bosses of the top wall 90 of the enclosure 12.
- the top wall 90 is removably attached to the side walls of the upper section 14 of the enclosure by means of conventional fasteners 92.
- the top wall is removed or opened, lifting with it the upper section 80 of the collecting reflector, so that the lamp 38 is exposed through the hole at the top of the collecting reflector resulting from the removal of upper section 80.
- Weatherproofing and/or cushioning gaskets may be provided as indicated at 94, 96, 98, and 102, for example, in addition to those mentioned previously.

- a lighting fixture in accordance with claim 1 wherein light rays emitted from said'upper end of said source at different angles in a vertical plane and reflected from said surface of said upper reflector cross over at points which in general are located laterally outward of the cross over points of light rays emitted from thelower end of said source at different angles in the vertical plane and reflected from said surface of said upper reflector.
