Abstract
The invention relates to an optical component (140) for a luminaire (100). The optical component (140) comprises a carrier plate (141) having an upper surface (141a) and a lower surface (141b), and a plurality of lens elements (142) provided on the upper surface (141a). Each two neighboring lens elements (142) has an intermediate region (143). In each intermediate region (143), the carrier plate (141) comprises a slit (144) having an elongated shape with an axis of elongation parallel to a plane of the carrier plate (141). The optical component (140) can be used in a luminaire (100) to meet the office requirements regarding glare, in particular the L65 requirement.
