Definitions
- the invention relates to an elongated lamp with a built-in, asymmetrical .
- Wall washer known. They have an extremely asymmetrical light distribution for the uniform illumination of vertical surfaces such as walls, shelves, sales counters.
- the luminaires must be mounted at a certain distance from the vertical surface in order to achieve uniform illumination. This optimal installation distance is set at a ratio of 1: 3 to the suspension height or wall height. Due to structural conditions or subsequent changes, this requirement can practically often not be met and therefore no ideal lighting conditions are achieved.
- the invention has for its object to improve a lamp of the type described above so that the luminous intensity index of each individual lamp can be optimally adapted to different suspension heights and mounting distances.
- the lamp shown schematically in cross section in the single figure has an elongated box-shaped housing 1, on the one long side 1 a of which a fluorescent lamp 2 is preferably arranged. This is surrounded by a semicircular secondary mirror 3, which is followed by an approximately parabolically curved deflecting mirror 4 above a light exit opening 5 of the lamp.
- the deflection mirror 4 is pivotally mounted on the longitudinal side 1b of the housing facing away from the lamp and, with its pivot axis 4a, also forms the boundary of the light exit opening on this side.
- the light exit opening is limited by a bend 3a of the secondary mirror. This also prevents a direct view of the fluorescent lamp from below to the level indicated by an arrow 6.
- the deflecting mirror 4 engages with its free edge 4b above the fluorescent lamp 2 under the secondary mirror 3. This ensures that no greater luminous flux losses occur when the deflecting mirror is pivoted into the position 4 'indicated in dashed lines.
- the pivoting range of the deflecting mirror which can be ascertained within this range by means not shown, comprises an angle of approximately 15 °.
- the luminous intensity distribution body of the luminaire can thus be changed such that the light emerging from the light exit opening approximately in the direction of arrow 5a optimally fulfills the respective lighting task.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine langgestreckte Leuchte mit eingebauter, eine asymmetrische.Lichtverteilung aufweisender Spiegeloptik für eine stabförmige Lampe, vorzugsweise zur Anbringung an horizontalen Ebenen für die Anstrahlung von vertikalen Flächen.The invention relates to an elongated lamp with a built-in, asymmetrical . Mirror optics with light distribution for a rod-shaped lamp, preferably for attachment to horizontal planes for illuminating vertical surfaces.
Derartige Leuchten sind als sogen. Wandfluter bekannt. Sie haben eine extrem asymmetrische Lichtverteilung zur gleichmäßigen Ausleuchtung senkrechter Flächen wie beispielsweise Wänden, Regalen, Verkaufstresen. Die Leuchten müssen dabei in einem bestimmten Abstand von der senkrechten Fläche montiert sein, um eine gleichmäßige Ausleuchtung zu erhalten. Dieser optimale Montageabstand ist etwa im Verhältnis 1 : 3 zur Aufhängehöhe bzw. Wandhöhe festgelegt. Aufgrund baulicher Gegebenheiten oder nachträglicher Änderungen läßt sich diese Forderung praktisch oft nicht verwirklichen und somit werden auch keine idealen Beleuchtungsverhältnisse erreicht.Such lights are so-called. Wall washer known. They have an extremely asymmetrical light distribution for the uniform illumination of vertical surfaces such as walls, shelves, sales counters. The luminaires must be mounted at a certain distance from the vertical surface in order to achieve uniform illumination. This optimal installation distance is set at a ratio of 1: 3 to the suspension height or wall height. Due to structural conditions or subsequent changes, this requirement can practically often not be met and therefore no ideal lighting conditions are achieved.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Leuchte der vorbeschriebenen Art so zu verbessern, daß die Lichtstärkeindikatrix jeder einzelnen Leuchte an unterschiedliche Aufhängehöhen und Montageabstände optimal angepaßt werden kann.The invention has for its object to improve a lamp of the type described above so that the luminous intensity index of each individual lamp can be optimally adapted to different suspension heights and mounting distances.
Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe ergibt sich aus den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1. So lassen sich in vorteilhafter Weise unterschiedliche Beleuchtungsaufgaben und Montagearten mit nur einem Leuchtentyp verwirklichen. Weiterbildungen und Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.The solution to this problem arises from the characterizing features of
Anhand der Zeichnung sei die Erfindung nachstehend näher erläutert.The invention is explained in more detail below with the aid of the drawing.
Die in der einzigen Figur schematisch im Querschnitt gezeigte Leuchte hat ein langgestrecktes kastenförmiges Gehäuse 1, an dessen einer Längsseite 1a vorzugsweise eine Leuchtstofflampe 2 angeordnet ist. Diese ist von einem halbkreisförmigen Fangspiegel 3 umgeben, an dem sich ein annähernd parabolisch gekrümmter Umlenkspiegel 4 oberhalb einer Lichtaustrittsöffnung 5 der Leuchte anschließt. Der Umlenkspiegel 4 ist an der der Lampe abgekehrten Längsseite 1b des Gehäuses schwenkbar gelagert und bildet mit seiner Schwenkachse 4a zugleich die Begrenzung der Lichtaustrittsöffnung auf dieser Seite. An der gegenüberliegenden Seite wird die Lichtaustrittsöffnung durch eine Abwinklung 3a des Fangspiegels begrenzt. Damit ist auch der direkte Blick auf die Leuchtstofflampe von unten bis zu der durch einen Pfeil 6 angezeigten Ebene verwehrt.The lamp shown schematically in cross section in the single figure has an elongated box-
Der Umlenkspiegel 4 greift mit seiner freien Kante 4b oberhalb der Leuchtstofflampe 2 unter den Fangspiegel 3. Dadurch ist sichergestellt, daß beim Verschwenken des Umlenkspiegels bis in die in Strichlinien angedeutete Stellung 4' keine größeren Lichtstromverluste auftreten. Der Schwenkbereich des Umlenkspiegels, der durch nicht dargestellte Mittel innerhalb dieses Bereiches jeweils feststellbar ist, umfaßt einen Winkeloe von etwa 15°. Damit läßt sich der Lichtstärkeverteilungskörper der Leuchte so verändern, daß das aus der Lichtaustrittsöffnung etwa in Richtung des Pfeiles 5a austretende Licht optimal die jeweilige Beleuchtungsaufgabe erfüllt.The deflecting mirror 4 engages with its
