  • Twisted downlight reflectors
    Patent number: 9841164
    Abstract: A generic reflector comprises a light inlet end, a light outlet end with at least one substantially rectangular light outlet opening, an optical axis, and a reflector surface which extends between the light inlet end and the light outlet end, where the reflector surface in a plane perpendicular to the optical axis defines a polygon. The reflector surface is formed such that the polygon between the light inlet end and the light outlet end at least in sections rotates about an axis of rotation which is oriented parallel to the optical axis. The invention also relates to an arrangement comprising at least two reflectors and a luminaire with a reflector and a light source, comprising an LED.
