Abstract
A light assembly disperses light emitted by a light source. The lighting assembly includes a light entry surface for receiving the light emitted by the light source. A direction surface directs the light in a predetermined direction. A stepped region, disposed adjacent the light entry surface receives the light directed by the direction surface and reflects the light. The stepped region includes a plurality of step parts, each defining a light deflection surface, wherein each of the light deflection surfaces is greater in area s step distance between the light deflection surface and the direction surface increases.
Claims21
A lighting assembly (2) for dispersing light emitted by a light source (6), said lighting assembly (2) comprising:
- a light entry surface (23) for receiving the light emitted by the light source (6);
- a direction surface (126) for directing the light in a predetermined direction;
- and
- a stepped region (31) disposed adjacent said light entry surface (23) for receiving the light directed in the predetermined direction and for reflecting the light, said stepped region (31) including a plurality of step parts (32) each defining a light deflection surface having a length equal to said length of each other of said light deflection surfaces, wherein each of said light deflection surfaces (132-139) is greater in area as step distance between said step part and said direction surface (126) increases.
A lighting assembly for dispersing light emitted by a light source, said lighting assembly comprising:
- a light entry surface for receiving the light emitted by the light source;
- a direction surface for directing the light in a predetermined direction;
- and
- a plurality of step parts for receiving the light directed in the predetermined direction and for reflecting the light, each of said plurality of step parts defining a light deflection surface and a crest at which said light deflection surface terminates, each of said crests defining a crest distance between said crest and a preceding one of said crests, whereby said crest distance decreases as said crest is further from said direction surface.
