Abstract
The present invention relates to a lighting device, which comprises a structure of interconnected sleeves and a light emitting arrangement arranged inside the sleeves. The structure forms a polygon mesh and light sources on the light emitting arrangement can be positioned by the structure so that the problem of glare can be reduced. The present invention also provides a sound-absorbing, flexible and collapsible structure which can be used in e.g. large scale architectural panels, horticulture and phototherapy devices. The lighting device can be produced by connecting the sleeves with thermoplastic material or by sewing.
Claims6
A method of producing a lighting device, comprising the steps of:
- A) arranging a first and a second flexible sheet on top of each other, such that they form a first pair of sheets,
- B) arranging a third and a fourth sheet on top of each other, such that they form a second pair of sheets,
- C) placing the first pair of sheets onto the second pair of sheets and connecting the first pair of sheets to the second pair of sheets,
- D) joining longitudinal edges in each pairs of sheets, such that each pair of sheets form a sleeve, and such that the first pair of sheets, the second pair of sheets and the joint longitudinal edges together define an opening, and further that the longitudinal edges are joined such that the opening is skewed thereby preventing direct sight through the opening, and
- E) inserting a light-emitting arrangement into the opening.
