  • Patent number: 10942297
    Abstract: An optical output device comprises a plate having at least one surface formed as an array of tessellated lenses. The tessellated lenses comprise at least first and second regions of regular hexagonal lens tessellation, wherein the first and second regions are slanted with respect to each other. By removing full periodicity in this way, but maintaining localized periodicity, visible non-uniformities are reduced in both color and intensity. The optical output device does not need to be illuminated uniformly to generate an output without visible intensity or color edges.

  • Patent number: 10670199
    Abstract: The invention relates to a luminaire and a lighting system. The luminaire includes first and second light sources adapted to emit light beams of two different beam patterns encompassed within a single chamber with specular outer walls that are parallel to the optical axis of the beam patterns of both types of light sources. Employing a chamber having specular outer walls aligned with the optical axis of the beam patterns of both types of light sources and adapted to specularly reflect at least a portion of light incident thereon allows more uniform appearance of the luminaire while preserving the respective total beam patterns of the beams produced by the first and second light sources as the light beams are incident on the exit window of the chamber.

  • Patent number: 10595514
    Abstract: An aquarium lighting system has a set of lighting elements (30) each with a beam shaping element (60, 70) for passing first light which is emitted from the lighting element at an angle to the normal below a threshold and for processing second light which is emitted from the lighting element at an angle to the normal above the threshold. The processing gives a greater amount of scattering compared to the passed light so that direct light at steep angles is avoided.

  • Patent number: 10571082
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a color tunable lighting device comprising at least one light source (302), a symmetry axis (306) and an envelope (304). The at least one light source (302) is disposed on a base (301) extending within a plane and the envelope (304) is disposed at least above the base (301) and defines a cavity (305) extending along the symmetry axis (306). The at least one light source (302) is arranged at a distance X from the symmetry axis (306) along a radial direction relative to the symmetry axis. The plane is arranged to intersect the symmetry axis (306). The distance X may be at least 50% of a total distance between the symmetry axis (306) and an edge of the envelope (304), or a projection of the edge of the envelope (304) on the plane in which the base (301) extends, as seen along the radial direction. A curvature of the envelope (304) is monotonically increasing with an increasing distance from the base (301).
