Abstract: An illumination device (100) is provided, comprising a light source (110), an envelope (120) adapted to at least partially enclose the light source, and a positioning member (130) adapted to position the light source within the envelope. The positioning member can be arranged to assume a first state in which the light source is positioned at a first distance (d1) from an inner surface portion (123) of the envelope and a second state in which the light source is positioned at a second distance (d2) from the inner surface portion. The positioning member comprises a shape-memory material adapted to shift the positioning member from the first state to the second state as the shape-memory material is exposed to an external stimulus such as a temperature or magnetic field exceeding a predetermined threshold value.

Abstract: The invention relates to a lighting device (1) comprising a housing (8) with a light source connector for a LED (11) and a reflective collimator (3) and a refractive collimator (9) as well as to a method for their manufacture.

The segments (4, 4?, 5, 5?, 6, 6?, 7, 7?) are adapted to reflect laterally emitted light generated by the light source (11) towards a direction which is substantially parallel to said main direction. Lighting devices according to this invention may have a compact design and an improved dissipation of the heat generated by the LEDs.
