Publication number: 20120020083Abstract: A lighting unit (1), comprising a bowl shaped reflector (6), and a plurality of point shaped light sources (2) arranged inside the reflector. The unit further comprises a mixing chamber (4) in which the point shaped light sources (2) are arranged, and a scattering layer (5) covering the mixing chamber (4). The scattering layer (5) is partially reflecting and partially transmitting, thereby ensuring that light emitted by the point shaped light sources (2) is mixed in the mixing chamber (4) before reaching the reflector. This allows light emitted from the mixing chamber via the reflector to be conceived as one beam. In use, light from the point shaped light sources may be reflected by the scattering layer and then scattered by the scattering layer so that the reflector generates a beam similar to a halogen beam.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 29, 2010Publication date: January 26, 2012Applicant: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS N.V.Inventors: Teunis Willem Tukker, Johannes Petrus Maria Ansems, Denis Joseph Carel Van Oers
