  • Publication number: 20220049835
    Abstract: A luminaire (500) comprising a linearly polarized light source (200) and a collimating reflector (301) arranged to collimate light from the light source towards an optical axis OA. The reflective inner surface of the reflector comprises at least one set of grooves (306), or four spaced zones of grooves, which each extend in a respective plane including the optical axis. Each groove comprises two flat side surfaces to cause light from the light source to undergo a double reflection in the groove, to avoid rotation of each beamlet and thus to reduce loss of imaging of the source. This partly preserves the linear polarization of the source, for use in reducing glare in displays or from lights on the road, or enhancing sparkle for illuminating jewellery.

  • Patent number: 10670247
    Abstract: A lighting device has at least two lighting strips, which are slidable relative to each other and overlap in a region of overlap so that the overall length may be adjusted. The combined light intensity per unit length of the lighting strips in the region of overlap corresponds to the light intensity per unit length of the first and second lighting strips outside the region of overlap. This arrangement makes sure the combined light output in the region of overlap is the same as where the lighting strips do not overlap. In this way, the overall device is reversibly and repeatedly extendable and retractable and maintains a relatively constant light output per unit length.
