  • Publication number: 20240011625
    Abstract: An adapter system for releasably connecting a lighting unit to an accessory part comprises an adapter element releasably connectable to the lighting unit, and a peg-shaped engagement element. A receiving recess is accessible from the outside through a receiving opening of the adapter element for receiving the engagement element. A locking device serves to fixate the engagement element within the receiving recess and comprises a locking element. The locking element protrudes into the receiving recess in a locking position. An end region of the locking element protrudes into a locking recess of the engagement element and fixes the engagement element in the adapter element. The receiving recess comprises a receiving abutment region conically narrowing toward the receiving recess. The engagement element comprises a corresponding abutment region, which can be brought into abutment with the conical receiving abutment region by inserting the engagement element into the receiving recess.

  • Patent number: 11835223
    Abstract: A luminaire comprises a first light exit opening for emitting light from at least two light sources. A diffusely-reflecting first reflector portion is arranged on an inner side of a luminaire body. A first light source is arranged in an edge portion of the luminaire body surrounding the first light exit opening. First light beams of the first light source are deflected towards the first reflector portion by a second reflector portion, so that said beams exit through the first light exit opening as a diffusely-reflected first light beam bundle. A second light source generates a second light beam bundle. The first light beams exit the luminaire body exclusively as first light beams reflected at the first reflector portion. A second light exit opening is surrounded by the first reflector portion. A second aperture angle of the second light beam bundle is smaller than the first aperture angle.

  • Patent number: 10465867
    Abstract: A linear light is provided with an axially extending housing in which an optical element and an electrical element are integrated. In this context, the optical element is formed as a profile that corresponds approximately to the length of the housing, and the electrical element is also formed as a profile, wherein the profiles can be inserted axially into the housing via a front side and are braced against one another transversially to the axial direction in the mounted state. The invention further relates to a method for mounting this linear light.

  • Patent number: 9841164
    Abstract: A generic reflector comprises a light inlet end, a light outlet end with at least one substantially rectangular light outlet opening, an optical axis, and a reflector surface which extends between the light inlet end and the light outlet end, where the reflector surface in a plane perpendicular to the optical axis defines a polygon. The reflector surface is formed such that the polygon between the light inlet end and the light outlet end at least in sections rotates about an axis of rotation which is oriented parallel to the optical axis. The invention also relates to an arrangement comprising at least two reflectors and a luminaire with a reflector and a light source, comprising an LED.

  • Patent number: 9797591
    Abstract: A LED panel light comprises an optical layer structure, including a top side, a bottom side and an edge and at least two substantially plate-shaped layers arranged on top of one another, and further comprises LEDs as light source, the LEDs being arranged at the edge of the layer structure and radiating light into the layer structure at the side, and further comprises a housing frame and at least one seal. The seal encloses the LEDs and the edge of the layer structure, the seal being in contact with the top side and the bottom side of the layer structure and resting against or on the housing frame so the seal seals the layer structure against the housing frame, the housing frame and the layer structure being clamped relative to one another such that the seal is pressed against the top side and the bottom side of the layer structure.

  • Patent number: 9739456
    Abstract: A luminaire comprises a first housing element which includes at least one groove, a second housing element, and a clamping member. The clamping member of a generic luminaire further comprises a first connection area and a second connection area, the first connection area interacting with the groove and the second connection area being connected, in the assembled state, to the second housing element so that the second housing element is clamped by the clamping member relative to the first housing element. The clamping member is pivotably mounted in the groove, in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the groove.

  • Patent number: 8511848
    Abstract: A luminaire including a plurality of light-emitting light sources is provided. The luminaire can be produced with little manufacturing out-lay and, consequently, economically, which is suited for street and path lighting and reduces the glare for an observer. The luminaire comprises at least one reflector profile extending in the longitudinal direction and comprising a plurality of apertures and at least one reflector surface provided on the front of the reflector profile, the light sources being arranged in the area of the apertures at the back of the reflector profile. A reflector profile for a luminaire is also provided.

  • Patent number: 8282244
    Abstract: In a color-selectively dimmable and focusing LED emitter comprising a plurality of different-colored LEDs arranged, on a support element, as a plurality of similar LED tuples, each of the LED tuples comprising at least two different-colored LEDs, each LED tuple having assigned thereto a separate reflector, and each of the LED tuples being rotated about the optical axis of the associated reflector relative to a neighboring LED tuple. Improved color mixing is achieved together with high efficiency and good focusing in that the LED-emitter comprises more than four LED tuples and each of the LED tuples is rotated about the optical axis of the associated reflector relative to a preceding neighboring LED tuple by a respective angle ?, the angle ? being calculated as 360° divided by the number of the LED tuples.

  • Patent number: 5778625
    Abstract: A recessed lighting fixture includes a back housing which is secured to a form board for receiving poured concrete such that the concrete sets around the housing to form a recessed area in a concrete structure. The form board is joined to a stiffener plate to support the housing under the force of the concrete. The form board and stiffener plate are removed from the back housing and the internal components of the lighting fixture are disposed in and secured to the interior of the back housing to form a recessed lighting fixture which is flush with the surface of the structure, for example a concrete wall. The internal components of the fixture may subsequently be removed and replaced should the need arise as only the back housing is fixed to the concrete wall.

  • Patent number: 4081052
    Abstract: The present invention refers to a safety seat belt locking device for vehicles, comprising a relay with an adjustable time delay, a solenoid device connected to a locking-lever and an impact-responsive switch. If an impact occurs from any direction, which might endanger the passenger, the impact-responsive switch will cause current to be cut off to the solenoid device after a determined time delay, thus releasing the tongue of the safety belt automatically. This device is of particular interest where the car catches fire after a collision, or in similar circumstances, when the passenger should be able to leave the car as quickly as possible.
