  • Patent number: 10302288
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device carrier (10) for a strip-lighting luminaire, comprising: first lines (14) for forming a first power supply circuit; second lines (14) for forming a second power supply circuit; and at least one converter unit (12) for electrically coupling the first to the second power supply circuit, said converter unit being mounted on the device carrier (10). The first lines (14) are arranged on a rear face of the device carrier (10) so that the first lines (14) are concealed by the device carrier (10) in the mounted state of the strip-lighting luminaire. The invention further relates to a strip-lighting luminaire comprising at least one device carrier (10) according to the invention.

  • Patent number: 10281121
    Abstract: A mounting system (1) for mounting a light fixture comprises two substantially L-shape designed receiving rails (4a, 4b). The receiving rails (4a, 4b) each have a first leg (5a, 5b) which is designed to be fastened to a front side of a suspended wall or an underside of a suspended ceiling (2) on a respective opposite edge of a recess (3) of the wall or ceiling (2). The receiving rails (4a, 4b) each further comprise a second leg (6a, 6b) which is designed to protrude into the recess (3) and to carry a light fixture housing (10) of the light fixture, but without connecting the light housing (1) rigidly to the first legs (5a, 5b) of the receiving rails (4a, 4b).

  • Publication number: 20090103315
    Abstract: The invention concerns a luminaire having a housing, which at the emission side of the luminaire has a housing opening, having, situated in the housing, connection means for at least one lamps which define the position thereof in the housing, having a light guiding element which is so positioned that, in the main emission direction, it is located in front of the lamp to be used, and having at least one diffuser arranged at the side neighbouring the light guiding element, which has a shaping projecting beyond the edges of the housing, having a flank rising towards the light guiding element. In order to improve the light guiding and/or light emission of the diffuser, the shaping has further a flank falling towards the light guiding element.

  • Publication number: 20080273321
    Abstract: Disclosed is a light (1) comprising means (3a) for retaining and electrically connecting at least one elongate light source (2) and a light-influencing element (10) which is located next to the light source (2) and is composed of several individual elements (15). Said elements (15) that form the light-influencing element (10) can be swiveled or rotated independently of each other about an axis that extends substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the light source (2).

  • Publication number: 20080210953
    Abstract: A luminaire with a plurality of light-emitting diodes in a decentralized arrangement. To improve the light emission pattern issued by the luminaire, the emission region defined by the light guide emission ends is smaller than the arrangement region defined by the totality of the light-emitting diodes.

  • Publication number: 20040042203
    Abstract: A luminaire (1) has means for holding and for electrically connecting a tube-like lamp (2) and a back reflector (4), extending over the length of the lamp (2), which is provided for the purpose of reflecting a part of the light emitted from the lamp (1) counter to a certain emission direction. In the back reflector there are provided through-openings (5) which are provided for the purpose of allowing a part of the light emitted from the lamp (2) to pass through in the emission direction, whereby pot reflectors (6) adjoin onto the through-openings (5) in the back reflector (4) in the emission direction. The luminaire distinguishes itself through the variety of the illumination effects which can be achieved therewith, which however have no effect on the functionality of the luminaire for room illumination or for the illumination of workplaces.
