Abstract
A lighting assembly has a grid (5) arranged to be adjustable at a light outlet of a housing (1). In one embodiment, there is a plurality of grids (4, 5, 6), preferably arranged one behind the other in a direction of light rays, which are movable relative to one another. When the position of a grid (5) of such a lamp assembly is adjusted, a light emission angle of the lighting assembly is adjusted. When, in a preferred embodiment, slats of the grids are arranged in true alignment to one another, a light emission angle is relatively small. By adjusting the grids, for example by one half step adjustments relative to one another, the light emissions angle is enlarged accordingly. Thus, a directional effect can be achieved without a focussing effect, even with the use of fluorescent tubes.
Claims7
A lightning assembly to be used generally for scene illumination, said assembly comprising:
- a housing defining a light outlet opening;
- a generally broad light-source means arranged in said housing for producing substantially unfocused light from an area extending laterally to light travelling from said light source through said light outlet opening;
- and
- grids arranged at said light outlet opening for affecting light from said light source passing through said light opening, said grids being formed of slats with relatively wide width dimensions thereof extending approximately in the direction of light passing through said light opening and relatively thin thickness dimensions thereof facing light travelling from said light source through said light outlet opening;
- wherein said lighting assembly further includes an adjusting means coupled to at least one of said grids for allowing adjustment of the position of said at least one grid;
- and
- wherein there are at least two grids arranged in the light outlet opening one behind the other in the direction of light rays passing through the outlet opening, said adjusting means allowing relative adjustment of the positions of the grids to one another lateral to the direction of light rays passing through the outlet opening for thereby changing an area being illuminated by said lighting assembly.
