Patent number: 10670199Abstract: The invention relates to a luminaire and a lighting system. The luminaire includes first and second light sources adapted to emit light beams of two different beam patterns encompassed within a single chamber with specular outer walls that are parallel to the optical axis of the beam patterns of both types of light sources. Employing a chamber having specular outer walls aligned with the optical axis of the beam patterns of both types of light sources and adapted to specularly reflect at least a portion of light incident thereon allows more uniform appearance of the luminaire while preserving the respective total beam patterns of the beams produced by the first and second light sources as the light beams are incident on the exit window of the chamber.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2012Date of Patent: June 2, 2020Assignee: SIGNIFY HOLDING B.V.Inventors: Michel Cornelis Josephus Marie Vissenberg, Antonius Petrus Marinus Dingemans, Willem Franke Pasveer

Patent number: 10030850Abstract: Today the use of false ceilings is decreasing as it involves too high an energy consumption. The tendency nowadays is to have bare concrete ceilings onto which luminaires are mounted, which often causes acoustical problems. The invention deals with these acoustical problems and relates to an illumination device (1) comprising a concave reflector (2) bordering, with an outer edge (3), on a light emission window (4). The reflector has a reflective surface (7) facing the light emission window. The illumination device further comprises lamp holding means (8) for accommodating a light source (9), and said lamp holding means being positioned in between the reflective surface and the light emission window. The illumination device is characterized in that the reflector is made of acoustically absorbing material.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2011Date of Patent: July 24, 2018Assignee: PHILIPS LIGHTING HOLDING B.V.Inventors: Michel Cornelis Josephus Marie Vissenberg, Antonius Petrus Marinus Dingemans, Marcus Jozef Van Bommel, Erik Paul Boonekamp
