Abstract
A lighting device with a light source followed by an optical apparatus in an emission direction, and a primary optics element with a light inlet and a light outlet being arranged between the light source and the optical apparatus. The primary optics element is designed such that desired characteristics of the light beam are formed within the primary optics element by deliberate reflections on specially shaped reflective surfaces of the primary optics element.
Claims30
A lighting means comprising:
- a light source;
- and
- an optical apparatus which is arranged downstream from the light source in an emission direction;
- and
- a primary optics element comprising a light inlet and a light outlet disposed between the light source and the optical apparatus, the light outlet or an imaginary surface, being located in a beam path of the light emitted from the light source, is projected by the optical apparatus;
- wherein the primary optics element has the form of a non-imaging concentrator which, compared with a normal use of a concentrator, allows radiation to pass through in an opposite direction;
- and
- wherein the light outlet of the primary optics element, seen in a plan view, has a long shape with a first longitudinal face and a second longitudinal face opposite the first longitudinal face, the first longitudinal face being closer to the light inlet than the second longitudinal face.
A primary optics element in the form of a non-imaging concentrator which, compared with a normal use of a concentrator, allows radiation to pass through in an opposite direction, the primary optics element comprising a light inlet and a light outlet, seen in a plan view, having a long shape with a first longitudinal face and a second longitudinal face opposite it, the first longitudinal face being closer to the light inlet than the second longitudinal face.
