  • Patent number: 7497587
    Abstract: A light fixture for fixing to a building or building surface has a trough-shaped reflector having first and second side walls forming a light outlet and a reflective inner surface, each of the side walls having a planar section. A diffuser is mounted on the outlet. A plurality of LED's of different colors on the planar sections are positioned such that a predominant portion of the light emitted by the LED's on one of the side walls only reaches the diffuser element after reflection off the other side wall.

  • Publication number: 20090027892
    Abstract: The invention relates to and discloses a light fixture (10) for illuminating a building surface (15), comprising a dished housing (11) having a light-output opening (24), a light source (12) being provided on the interior (31) of the housing, indirect light (30a, 30b, 30c) starting from the light source passing through a light-output opening only after being reflected on reflector surfaces (21, 22) and direct light (29a, 29b, 29c) starting from the light source passing through without reflection on reflector surfaces, a spread lens (23) being provided that is at the light-output opening and that ensures that the light is spread in order to illuminate the building surface more uniformly, the reflector surfaces each comprising a wall region (22) having a parabolic cross-section and a wall region (21) having an elliptical cross-section.

  • Publication number: 20070103894
    Abstract: On the basis of the known light fixture, it is the object of the present invention to provide a light fixture by using LED's (light emitting diodes) as a light source, which largely prevents the structures of the individual light sources from melting and, by providing a compact style, offers the option of a simple assembly.

  • Publication number: 20070097693
    Abstract: Described and shown is inter alia a light fixture (10) with a housing (11), in which a light source (15) is located and with a light outlet (23), wherein a diffuser element (18) is located in the light path between the light source and the light outlet. The invention consists in the fact that the diffuser element for the generation of two different light cones (25, 27) has two regions (20, 21) with different transmission characteristics.

  • Publication number: 20060120078
    Abstract: A light fixture has a housing having an open side and a hollow shell secured to the housing, having an inwardly directed mirrored surface, and formed with a window. At least two different light sources of different colors cast light against the mirrored surface so that the light from the sources is reflected and mixed by the mirrored surface and passes out the window. A reflector secured to the housing is positioned to intercept light passing out of the shell through the window and reflect the intercepted light out of the housing.
