Publication number: 20150369434Abstract: According to an aspect, a light guiding assembly (1) with a tubular member (2) for guiding light is provided. The light guiding assembly comprises a first layer (51, 61) having a first optical characteristic, the first layer being arranged on an inner wall (5) of the tubular member, and a second layer (52, 62) having a second optical characteristic, the second layer being adjustable at least with respect to the second optical characteristic and with respect to the extent of light allowed to be transmitted through the second layer. The second layer is coupled to a side of the first layer facing away from the inner wall. One of the first and second optical characteristics effects changing of the color of light guided in the tubular member, and the other one of the first and second optical characteristics effects reflection of light guided in the tubular member. Accordingly, the color of daylight guided through the tubular member can be tuned.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 10, 2014Publication date: December 24, 2015Inventors: Johannes Petrus Wilhelmus BAAIJENS, Kars-Michiel Hubert LENSSEN, Arend Jan Wilhelmus Abraham VERMEULEN

Publication number: 20150362143Abstract: According to an aspect, a lighting device (10) for a light guiding assembly (1) is provided. The lighting device is adapted to be arranged at an output end (4) of a tubular member (2) of the light guiding assembly. The lighting device comprises a light source (13), and a layer (11) adjustable at least with respect to reflection of light impinging thereon and with respect to the extent of light allowed to be transmitted through the layer. The layer is arranged to reflect light outputted from the output end of the tubular member when the layer has been adjusted so as to be at least partially reflective, and transmit light emitted by the light source through the layer when the layer has been adjusted so as to be at least partially light transmitting. The light redirected by the layer may be part of the illumination output by the light guiding assembly.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 9, 2014Publication date: December 17, 2015Applicant: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Johannes Petrus Wilhelmus BAAIJENS, Kars-Michiel Hubert LENSSEN, Arend Jan Wilhelmus Abraham VERMEULEN

Publication number: 20150322712Abstract: According to an aspect, a control unit (130) adapted to be communicatively coupled to a window (110) is provided. The window is adapted to controllably effect changing of color temperature of light transmitted through the window. The control unit is configured to obtain a signal indicative of the color temperature of light which is to be, and/or has been, transmitted through the window, and control the window at least with respect to color temperature of light transmitted through the window based at least on the signal indicative of color temperature. With the present control unit, it may be possible to maintain a certain color temperature even if the color temperature of the light to be transmitted through the window changes.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 22, 2014Publication date: November 12, 2015Inventors: Johannes Petrus Wilhelmus Baaijens, Kars-Michiel Hubert Lenssen, Arend Jan Wilhelmus Abraham Vermeulen
