  • Patent number: 11644180
    Abstract: The invention relates to an illumination device comprising a domeshaped, cylindrical lens (7) having an optical focal line (19) and a plurality of light sources (3) arranged along the focal line and configured to emit light during operation. Said lens being disposed to receive and to deflect said light as a light beam having an angle y in a transverse direction, wherein 0?<=7<=30?. In transversal cross section the cylindrical lens comprises a central portion (21) flanked by a first side portion (23) and a second side portion (25). The illumination device further comprises an axially extending screen (27) disposed adjacent to the first side portion; and an axially extending diffuser (33) provided at the second side portion.

  • Patent number: 11588286
    Abstract: The invention relates to a kit of parts comprising DC, low voltage system of an elongated track and a plug. The elongated track has a first and a second end and comprises an elongated slot formed by a central groove with at least one shielded lateral groove, both grooves lying in a plane P. Typically two electric conductors are accommodated in said at least one lateral groove. A connector portion of the plug having a connector cross section which matches with a cross section of the slot. Both said slot cross section and connector cross section are asymmetrical with respect to a plane Q extending over the length axis perpendicular to plane P, and at least one of the slot cross section and connector cross section is mirror symmetrical with respect to said plane P.

  • Patent number: 9234636
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a light guide (100) and a luminaire (700) including such a light guide (100). The light guide (100) guides light emitted in a first direction (500) from a light source (200) comprising at least one light emitting diode (210). The light guide (100) directs a major part of the light in a second direction (600), wherein the first direction (500) is not equal to the second direction (600). The light guide (100) comprises an upper part (110) having a shape of a cone, and a center axis (120) of the upper part (110) is in the first direction (500). The light guide (100) can be used with reflectors (800) that have originally been manufactured for use with high intensity discharge lamps or halogen lamps but because of the light guide (100), the reflectors (800) can be used together with light sources (200) in the form of at least one light emitting diode (210).

  • Publication number: 20150276166
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a bowl-shaped optical cover (110) for a light-emitting module. The optical cover (110) has an inner concave surface (112) for facing a light source, and an outer convex surface (114) for facing away from a light source. The optical cover (110) comprising: a micro lenses array structure (122) arranged on the inner surface (112) of the optical cover (110) for refracting light emitted from a light source; and a macro lens structure (124) formed between the micro lenses array structure (122) and the outer convex surface (114) of the optical cover (110). The macro lens structure(124) has a thickness (Z1), wherein the thickness (Z1) is varied along the optical cover (110) such that light is refracted from a thinner part towards a thicker part of the macro lens structure (124). Various embodiments of the present invention provide improved luminous intensity distribution and luminance uniformity.
