Light emitting arrangement for illuminated surfaces

Abstract

A light emitting arrangement (100, 200, 300) is provided, comprising: —a body (10) of solid material having a surface (11); —a light guiding member (101, 110) partially embedded into said body, having a plurality of discrete light outcoupling regions (103) comprising light outcoupling means (230, 730, 830, 930) distributed along a longitudinal direction of the light guiding member, and a plurality of discrete, non-outcoupling regions (102) distributed along a longitudinal direction of the light guiding member, wherein said plurality of light non-outcoupling regions of the light guiding member are embedded by said body and said plurality of light outcoupling regions of the light guiding member are exposed on the surface of said body, wherein said non-outcoupling regions (102) form light incoupling regions comprising light incoupling means (220, 320, 420, 520, 620); and —a plurality of solid state light sources (12) embedded within said body (10) of solid material arranged to emit light towards said light incoupling regions. The light emitting arrangement provides a body with an illuminated surface, and the plurality of light outcoupling regions enables efficient lighting, with no or little loss of light.
