Publication number: 20190302344Abstract: A lighting system comprises an elongate light guiding structure comprising a input edge miming along the length of the structure, and first and second side walls which extend between the input edge and a end face, at least one of which is stepped. The steps comprise at least a first step region which forms a total internal reflection surface for the light provided into the light guiding structure from the input edge such that light leaves the light guiding structure from the second side wall, and at least a second step region which forms a refracting interface for the light provided into the light guiding structure from the input edge such that light leaves the light guiding structure from the first side wall. In this way the use of refraction and total internal reflection is combined to enable flexibility in the control of the light output distribution as well as the appearance of the system. The lighting system for example comprises luminaire for ceiling mounting.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2017Publication date: October 3, 2019Inventors: SILVIA MARIA BOOIJ, JOHANNES MARIA THIJSSEN

Patent number: 10338299Abstract: A lighting system comprising an array of LEDs, collimators for collimating the light output from the LEDs and a lightguide mounted over the array of collimators. The lightguide comprises an elongate structure having a length direction with one light input end mounted over the collimators, wherein the general shape in cross section perpendicular to the length direction comprises a non-circular arc. The array of LEDs is mounted following a corresponding non-circular arc. Light extraction features are provided for out-coupling light from an outer arcuate surface of the lightguide. The non-circular arc formed by the outer surface of lightguide enables a non-uniform light output distribution to be formed.
