  • Publication number: 20230148488
    Abstract: A light generating device (100) comprising a plurality of solid state light sources (10) and a housing (120) comprising side wall elements (20). The light sources (10) are enclosed by the side wall elements (20), and the light generating device (100) generates >=90% of light source light (11) within a triangular prism having a top angle (?)<=180°. The side wall elements (20): —each have a first side (21) directed inwards facing the light sources (10) and a second side (22) which is directed outwards and is reflective for visible light;—are configured at both sides of a housing plane (110), under an angle (?1) between 0-45° relative to the housing plane (110);—have a projection with height H1 on the housing plane (110)—define a largest width (W1) of the light housing 120), wherein H1/W1>1.
