  • Publication number: 20130135874
    Abstract: A luminaire housing (100, 200, 300, 400, 500) having an upper region and a lower region and a channel (110, 210, 310, 410, 415, 510), wherein the channel (110, 210, 310, 410, 415, 510) is connected to an air-exit opening (120, 220, 225, 320, 325, 420, 425) in the upper region and is connected to an air-entry opening (130, 230, 330, 430, 435, 530) in the lower region, and wherein the luminaire housing (100, 200, 300, 400, 500) also comprises an accommodating space for a lighting module (250, 550), which is arranged so that the lighting module (250, 550), in the installed state, is located on the channel (110, 210, 310, 410, 415, 510).

  • Patent number: 7207699
    Abstract: A system composed of a plurality of light units with each light unit having different light emission properties. The component parts of each of the light units, such as optically effective components that influence the beam path of the light emitted by the lamp, and end cap reflectors are of a standard dimension so that light units of different configurations can use the same elements to reduce the number of different parts required for the group of different light units of the system.

  • Patent number: 6742914
    Abstract: A lighting fixture that has a plurality of differently fashioned regions wherein different light emission properties occur. The fixture includes at least one hollow light guide having a cavity, one or more bulbs that emit light into the cavity of the hollow light guide, and at least one light output device having a light-refractive structure for outputting light from the cavity of the hollow light guide to a light exit face. The light output device forms at least a part of the wall of the hollow light guide and the light of at least one bulb that directs light into the hollow light guide is beamed out in different regions of the lighting fixture that have different light emission properties.

  • Patent number: 4882662
    Abstract: Interior lighting fixtures having specific shielding conditions. For lighting fixtures having a center-symmetrical light exit area, a structural pattern for a grid inserted into the light exit opening of the lighting fixture is provided which meets the specific shielding conditions of the BAP picture screen workstation condition and the like and which masks the light from the lighting fixture as little as possible. This structural pattern is based on a subdivision of the grid into segments of identical size having self-contained framing cells whose diagonal or whose largest, straight side or, respectively, a chord of the largest, arcuate side does not exceed a value 2 Ro of the diameter of the center grid cell. The size of the center grid cell thereby results from the height of lamellae exhibiting a double-parabolic cross-section while preserving the desired shielding condition for this center grid cell.
