A method for producing a lighting device, the device including a body provided with at least one lighting module. The body includes a rim bounding an opening being closed by a cover that is able to allow the light from the lighting module to pass through the cover. The cover is concave in shape and includes a central region that is able to be attached to a central region of the body. The method includes the steps of placing the cover in the form of a flat plate facing the opening in the body so that the periphery of the cover comes into contact, at least partially, with the rim of the body; deforming the flat cover so as to shape it into its concave shape by pressing on the central region of the cover; and attaching the central region of the cover to the central region of the body.
A method for producing a lighting device (1), the device comprising a body (4) equipped with at least one lighting module (10), the body (4) comprising a rim (5) defining an opening (7), said opening (7) being closed by a cover (13) that is able to allow the light from the lighting module (10) to pass through said cover (13), said cover (13) being concave in shape and comprising a central region suitable for being attached to a central region (10) of the body (4), the method comprising the steps of:
The method according to the preceding claim, wherein an annular ring (15) is mounted on the central region of the cover (13), a force being applied to said ring (15) so as to deform the cover (13), said ring (15) then being attached to the central region of the cover (13).
The method according to one of the preceding claims, wherein a seal (14) is mounted between the rim (5) of the body (4) and the periphery of the cover (13).
The method according to the preceding claim, wherein the seal (14) comprises a first groove (19) and a second groove (19), the rim (5) of the body (4) being engaged in the first groove (19), the periphery of the cover (13) being engaged in the second groove (19).
The lighting method according to the preceding claim, wherein the seal (14) is held in position on the body (4) by a plurality of flanges (21) distributed along the rim (5) of the body (4).
The method according to one of the preceding claims, wherein the body (4) and the cover (13) each comprise a central part from which lobes (8, 13b) extend, the cover (13) being first cut from a flat plate before being placed on the rim (5) and being deformed so as to being shaped into its concave shape.
The lighting device (1) obtained by the method according to one of the preceding claims.
