Abstract: A solid state lighting strip (100) for mounting in or on a panel support element (210) of a modular panel system (200) including a plurality of solid state lighting elements (110, 110?), a light extraction layer (120) and a glare reducing layer (130) is disclosed. The solid state lighting elements are arranged such that the light emitted by said elements is coupled into the glare reducing layer via the light extraction layer. The solid state lighting strip (100) can be used as part of a lighting system, a panel support element (210) and a modular panel system (200).

Abstract: The invention relates to a luminaire that enables the use of more sparsely distributed light sources, having a uniform fixture surface brightness and good color mixing. The luminaire comprises first and second light guide layers (10, 11) optically coupled together by at least one optical coupler (12a, 12b), which allows the passage of light from the first (10) to the second light guide layer (11). The luminaire also comprises a plurality of light sources (16a, 16b), each of which being arranged such that light emitted by the light source (16a, 16b) is coupled into the first light guide layer (10) at an interface surface (17)arranged substantially perpendicularly to a longitudinal axis of the first light guide layer (10). The luminaire further comprises a scattering element (14) adapted to cause light to be emitted from an emitting surface of the second light guide layer (11).

Abstract: The invention relates to a lighting strip (100) for mounting in or on a panel support element (210) of a modular panel system (200). The lighting strip comprises an optical waveguide (120) having a tapered portion increasing in thickness from the center towards a first side of the lighting strip. The lighting strip also comprises a first plurality of solid state lighting elements (110) placed along the first side of the lighting strip, facing said tapered portion (120). The lighting strip further comprises a reflective surface (140) and a light output surface comprising a glare reducing member (130), each extending between the first side and a second side opposite to the first side. The optical waveguide is located between the reflective surface and the glare reducing member. A lighting system, panel support element (210) and modular panel system (200) including such a lighting strip (100) are also disclosed.

Abstract: A system comprises a light source and an electrode device (20, 30, 60). The light source comprises a base (40) with a base surface (42) on which at least two contact elements are provided. The electrode device has at least two electrodes (23, 24, 34, 35), preferably of ferromagnetic or electromagnetic material and having a different polarity during operation. Adjacent electrodes are arranged at a predetermined electrode distance. Both electrodes are provided in one layer and are arranged in an interdigitated configuration. The light source has at least two, but preferably four contact elements (43, 53, 63) arranged at a mutual spacing which is essentially compatible with said electrode distance.
