Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Beleuchtungsanordnung, insbesondere eine Anordnung von Leuchtstoffröhren oder LED-Modulen.The invention relates to a lighting arrangement, in particular an arrangement of fluorescent tubes or LED modules.
Herkömmlich werden zur Beleuchtung von Räumen häufig in einer Flucht angeordnete Leuchtstoffröhren eingesetzt. Da jede einzelne Leuchtstoffröhre jedoch eine endliche Länge aufweist, bilden sich Orte verringerter Leuchtstärke an den Übergangspunkten zwischen zwei Leuchtstoffröhren. Selbst bei Einsatz eines lichtstreuenden Materials sind diese dunkleren Bereiche noch sichtbar.Conventionally, florescent fluorescent tubes are often used to illuminate rooms. However, since each individual fluorescent tube has a finite length, places of reduced luminosity are formed at the transition points between two fluorescent tubes. Even when using a light-diffusing material, these darker areas are still visible.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine flexible Beleuchtungsanordnung zu schaffen, welche eine gleichmäßige Beleuchtung bei möglichst frei einstellbarer Länge der Beleuchtungsanordnung ermöglicht.The invention has for its object to provide a flexible lighting arrangement, which allows a uniform illumination at the most freely adjustable length of the lighting arrangement.
Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß für die Vorrichtung durch die Merkmale des unabhängigen Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen sind Gegenstand der hierauf rückbezogenen Unteransprüche.The object is achieved for the device by the features of independent claim 1. Advantageous developments are the subject of the dependent claims.
Eine erfindungsgemäße Beleuchtungsanordnung weist ein Gehäuse mit einer Öffnung zur Lichtabgabe in eine Hauptstrahlrichtung, ein erstes Leuchtmittel und zumindest ein zweites Leuchtmittel auf. Das erste Leuchtmittel und das zweite Leuchtmittel sind in Hauptstrahlrichtung gesehen nebeneinander und der Länge nach um eine Überlappungslänge versetzt zueinander angeordnet. Die Überlappungslänge ist stufenlos einstellbar. So wird erreicht, dass ohne Produktionsänderung eine beliebige Länge einer langgestreckten Beleuchtungsanordnung erreicht werden kann. Durch die versetzte Anordnung ergibt sich eine über die Länge der Beleuchtungsanordnung durchgehende Beleuchtung. Ein Abfallen der Lichtstärke an Übergangspunkten zwischen einzelnen Leuchtmitteln tritt nicht auf.A lighting arrangement according to the invention has a housing with an opening for emitting light in a main beam direction, a first lighting means and at least one second lighting means. The first light source and the second lighting means are seen in the main beam direction next to each other and the length offset by an overlap length to each other. The overlap length is infinitely adjustable. This ensures that any change in length of an elongated lighting arrangement can be achieved without production change. The staggered arrangement results in a continuous over the length of the lighting illumination. A drop in light intensity at transition points between individual bulbs does not occur.
Wird eine starke Überlappung der Leuchtmittel eingestellt, kann sich jedoch in dem Überlappungsbereich eine überhöhte Lichtstärke ergeben. Dies wird bevorzugt ausgeglichen, indem zumindest eines der Leuchtmittel in zumindest einem Teil des Überlappungsbereichs durch ein Abschattungselement z. B. durch ein Überwurfprofil abgedeckt wird.If a strong overlap of the lamps is set, however, an excessive light intensity may result in the overlap area. This is preferably compensated by at least one of the lighting means in at least a part of the overlapping area by a shading element z. B. is covered by a throw-over profile.
Ein gleichmäßiges Lichtbild über die Breite der Beleuchtungsanordnung wird vorteilhafterweise erreicht, indem die Leuchtmittel nahe der Längsachse der Beleuchtungsanordnung angebracht werden.A uniform light image across the width of the lighting arrangement is advantageously achieved by mounting the lighting means near the longitudinal axis of the lighting arrangement.
Bei den Leuchtmitteln handelt es sich um Leuchtstoffröhren. Jede Leuchtstoffröhre ist dann in einer Leuchtstoffröhren-Halterung eingefasst. Die Leuchtstoffröhren-Halterung besteht aus einem Geräteträger und zumindest zwei Leuchtstoffröhren-Fassungen. Die Leuchtstoffröhre ist dabei vorteilhafterweise asymmetrisch neben der Längsachse des Geräteträgers von den Leuchtstoffröhren-Fassungen befestigt. Auf der, der Leuchtstoffröhre abgewandten Seite der Längsachse des Geräteträgers weist der Geräteträger vorteilhafterweise auf beiden Seiten jeweils einen Absatz und damit eine geringere Länge auf, als die Leuchtstoffröhre. Jeweils an dem Absatz befindet sich ein Aufnahmeelement zur Aufnahme des Abschnitts eines weiteren derartigen Gehäuses, in welchem sich die Leuchtstoffröhre befindet. Zwei derartige Gehäuse können somit ineinander geschoben werden. Die Leuchtstoffröhren der beiden Geräteträger kommen dann direkt nebeneinander zu liegen.The bulbs are fluorescent tubes. Each fluorescent tube is then enclosed in a fluorescent tube holder. The fluorescent tube holder consists of a device carrier and at least two fluorescent tube sockets. The fluorescent tube is advantageously asymmetrically attached next to the longitudinal axis of the device carrier of the fluorescent tube sockets. On the side facing away from the fluorescent tube side of the longitudinal axis of the equipment carrier, the equipment carrier advantageously on both sides in each case a paragraph and thus a shorter length than the fluorescent tube. In each case at the shoulder is a receiving element for receiving the portion of another such housing, in which the fluorescent tube is located. Two such housing can thus be pushed together. The fluorescent tubes of the two equipment carriers then come to lie directly next to each other.
Das Aufnahmeelement ist dabei vorteilhafterweise derart gestaltet, dass die Gehäuse stufenlos ineinander geschoben werden können. So lässt sich eine in Grenzen beliebige Gesamtlänge der Anordnung durch eine in Grenzen beliebige Überlappungslänge der Leuchtstoffröhren einstellen. Das Aufnahmeelement wird dabei von Längsausstanzungen in dem Geräteträger gebildet, welche biegsame Laschen ergeben.The receiving element is advantageously designed such that the housing can be pushed continuously into one another. Thus, an arbitrary overall length of the arrangement can be set within limits of any overlap length of the fluorescent tubes within limits. The receiving element is formed by Längsausstanzungen in the equipment carrier, which yield flexible tabs.
Zur Gewährleistung einer einheitlichen Lichtstärke auf der gesamten Länge der Beleuchtungsanordnung kann im Überlappungsbereich vorteilhafterweise zusätzlich mittels eines Überwurfprofils oder einer anderen Abschattungseinrichtung eine der Leuchtstoffröhren abgeschattet werden.In order to ensure a uniform light intensity over the entire length of the lighting arrangement, one of the fluorescent tubes can advantageously also be shaded in the overlapping area by means of a throw-over profile or another shading device.
