Abstract: An optical device (201) comprises a center portion (203) and a reflector portion (204) surrounding the center portion and comprising a reflector surface (205) configured to provide total internal reflection. The center portion comprises a first lens section (206) and a second lens section (207) after the first lens section in a propagation direction of light. A projection of a light ingress surface (208) of the first lens section on a geometric plane (xy) perpendicular to a geometric line (z) through center of mass points of the first and second lens sections is smaller than a corresponding projection of a light ingress surface (210) of the second lens section on the geometric plane. As there are the two successive lens sections, a desired collimation effect can be achieved even if the lens sections are sufficiently thin from the viewpoint of manufacturing.
Abstract: An optical device includes a first optical element and a second optical element moveable with respect to the first optical element. The first optical element includes a first surface for modifying a distribution of light exiting the first optical element, and the second optical element includes a second surface facing towards the first surface and for further modifying the distribution of the light. One of the first and second surfaces includes convex areas whereas the other one of these surfaces includes concave areas. An optical effect of the optical device is changeable by moving the second optical element with respect to the first optical element in a direction parallel with the first surface. The first and second surfaces are shaped to have stepwise shape discontinuities to reduce a spatial room needed between the first and second surfaces.
Abstract: An optical device for modifying a light distribution is made of transparent material and includes a front wall constituting a front portion, a coupling portion for connecting to a light source system, and side walls between the coupling portion and the front portion. The front wall is configured to let through a first part of light emitted by the light source, and the side walls are configured to let through a second part of the light. The side walls have grooves that refract at least 80% of the second part of the light obliquely rearwards with respect to a direction from the coupling portion to the front portion. Thus, the optical device can be used for illuminating both a floor and a ceiling so that light emitted to unwanted directions and potentially causing glare can be kept at a low level.

Abstract: A light fixture includes side wall sections having first surfaces facing towards each other, a light source on the first surface of at least one of the side wall sections and positioned so that a maximum intensity direction of a light distribution pattern of the light source is towards the other side wall section, and a lens section that constitutes an optical diverter that directs a first part of light emitted by the light source obliquely via a gap between first edges of the side wall sections and a second part of the light obliquely via a gap between second edges of the side wall sections. Thus, the light fixture can illuminate both a floor and a ceiling so that light emitted to unwanted directions and potentially causing unwanted bright spots and/or glare can be kept at a low level.
