Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Leucht-Anordnung mit einem, sich längs einer Längsachse erstreckenden Gehäuse, einer darin angeordneten LED-Lichtquelle (LED: Licht emittierende Diode) und einem Sensor, beispielsweise einem Helligkeits- oder Bewegungssensor.The invention relates to a lighting arrangement with a housing extending along a longitudinal axis, an LED light source (LED: light emitting diode) disposed therein, and a sensor, for example a brightness or motion sensor.

Aus dem Stand der Technik ist es bekannt, einen Helligkeits- oder Bewegungssensor, der der Ansteuerung einer Deckeneinbauleuchte mit einer länglichen LED-Lichtquelle dient, neben der Deckeneinbauleuchte in separater Form an der Decke zu montieren. Durch diese Anordnung des Sensors sind die Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten des äußeren Erscheinungsbilds der Anordnung limitiert. In aller Regel wird der Sensor mit Bezug auf die äußere Erscheinung als störend empfunden.From the prior art, it is known to mount a brightness or motion sensor, which serves to control a ceiling light with an elongated LED light source, in addition to the recessed ceiling light in a separate form on the ceiling. By this arrangement of the sensor, the design possibilities of the external appearance of the arrangement are limited. As a rule, the sensor with respect to the external appearance is distracting.

Wenn der Sensor in eine entsprechende Deckenleuchte integriert wird, indem er als fester Bestandteil der länglichen LED-Lichtquelle ausgeführt wird, besteht im Allgemeinen das Problem, dass sich beim Einbau der Deckenleuchte der Sensor mit Bezug auf die durch die räumliche Umgebung vorgegebenen Rahmenbedingungen nicht beliebig positionieren lässt. Der Sensor lässt sich also im zu beleuchtenden Raum nur in bestimmter Art und Weise positionieren. Dies stellt - insbesondere bei vergleichsweise großer Länge der Deckenleuchte - grundsätzlich eine gravierende Einschränkung dar.If the sensor is integrated into a corresponding ceiling light by being an integral part of the elongate LED light source, there is generally the problem that when installing the ceiling light, the sensor does not position itself arbitrarily with respect to the boundary conditions dictated by the spatial environment leaves. The sensor can thus be positioned in the room to be illuminated only in a certain way. This represents - in particular with a comparatively long length of the ceiling light - basically a serious limitation.

Zudem besteht bei Positionierung eines entsprechenden Sensors innerhalb der Leuchte die Gefahr, dass das von dem Sensor erzeugte Signal, das zur Ansteuerung der Leuchte gebildet wird, durch die in der Leuchte befindliche Lichtquelle negativ beeinflusst wird, so dass die Ansteuerung in der Folge in unerwünschter Weise modifiziert wird.In addition, when positioning a corresponding sensor within the luminaire there is the risk that the signal generated by the sensor, which is formed to drive the luminaire, is negatively influenced by the light source located in the luminaire, so that the triggering in the sequence is undesired is modified.

Aus der US 2013/0049598 A1 ist eine Leucht-Anordnung mit einem länglichen Gehäuse, einer LED-Lichtquelle und einem Sensor bekannt. Der Sensor ist dabei durch ein Trägerelement gehalten angeordnet.From the US 2013/0049598 A1 For example, a luminous arrangement with an elongate housing, an LED light source and a sensor is known. The sensor is arranged held by a support element.

Aus der DE 20 2013 000 999 U1 ist eine LED-Leuchte mit einem länglichen Gehäuse und einer LED-Lichtquelle mit einer Patine bekannt. An der Platine ist dabei ein Steckplatz für einen Sensor ausgebildet.From the DE 20 2013 000 999 U1 is an LED lamp with an elongated housing and an LED light source with a patina known. On the board while a slot for a sensor is formed.

Aus der DE 20 2010 009 016 U1 ist eine Befestigungsvorrichtung für einen Sensor an einer Leuchte bekannt. Eine weitere LED-Leuchte ist aus der Schrift US 2006/0262521 A1 bekannt.From the DE 20 2010 009 016 U1 An attachment device for a sensor on a luminaire is known. Another LED light is from the font US 2006/0262521 A1 known.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine entsprechende verbesserte Leucht-Anordnung anzugeben. Insbesondere soll die Leucht-Anordnung mit Bezug auf den Sensor verbesserte Eigenschaften aufweisen.The invention has for its object to provide a corresponding improved lighting arrangement. In particular, the luminous arrangement should have improved properties with respect to the sensor.

Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung mit dem in dem unabhängigen Anspruch genannten Gegenstand gelöst. Besondere Ausführungsarten der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen angegeben.This object is achieved according to the invention with the object mentioned in the independent claim. Particular embodiments of the invention are indicated in the dependent claims.

Gemäß der Erfindung ist eine Leucht-Anordnung vorgesehen, die ein sich längs einer Längsachse erstreckendes Gehäuse aufweist und eine innerhalb des Gehäuses angeordnete, sich längs der Längsachse erstreckende LED-Lichtquelle zur Erzeugung eines Lichts; dabei ist durch das Gehäuse eine Lichtaustrittöffnung für das Licht begrenzt. Weiterhin weist die Leucht-Anordnung einen Sensor auf, insbesondere zur Erfassung einer Helligkeit und/oder einer Bewegung in einer Umgebung der Leucht-Anordnung sowie ein Trägerelement für den Sensor, das dazu ausgestaltet ist, mit Bezug auf die Längsachse an unterschiedlichen Längspositionen relativ zu der LED-Lichtquelle in dem Gehäuse angeordnet zu werden.According to the invention, there is provided a luminous arrangement having a housing extending along a longitudinal axis and an LED light source disposed within the housing and extending along the longitudinal axis for generating a light; In this case, a light exit opening for the light is limited by the housing. Furthermore, the luminous arrangement has a sensor, in particular for detecting a brightness and / or a movement in an environment of the luminous arrangement and a support element for the sensor, which is designed with respect to the longitudinal axis at different longitudinal positions relative to the LED light source to be arranged in the housing.

Auf diese Weise lässt sich der Sensor mit Bezug auf die Längsachse an unterschiedlichen Stellen positionieren. Dies ist insbesondere von Vorteil, wenn die Leucht-Anordnung vergleichsweise lang ist, beispielsweise mehrere Meter. Hier ist es im Allgemeinen erwünscht, in Abhängigkeit von den jeweils gegebenen Rahmenbedingungen bei der Montage der Leucht-Anordnung die Position des Sensors quasi frei bestimmen zu können.In this way, the sensor can be positioned at different locations with respect to the longitudinal axis. This is particularly advantageous if the lighting arrangement is comparatively long, for example several meters. In this case, it is generally desirable to be able to determine the position of the sensor quasi-freely as a function of the prevailing general conditions during the assembly of the luminous arrangement.

Vorzugsweise ist dabei das Trägerelement dazu ausgestaltet, derart angeordnet zu werden, dass der Sensor zwischen der LED-Lichtquelle einerseits und der Lichtaustrittsöffnung andererseits positioniert ist. Auf diese Weise lässt sich erzielen, dass der Sensor einen Umgebungsbereich der Leucht-Anordnung vorteilhaft erfassen kann.Preferably, the carrier element is configured to be arranged such that the sensor between the LED light source on the one hand and the light exit opening on the other hand is positioned. In this way, it can be achieved that the sensor can advantageously detect an ambient region of the luminous arrangement.

Erfindungsgemäß weist das Trägerelement einen Abschattungsbereich auf, durch den der Sensor vor dem Licht der LED-Lichtquelle abgeschattet ist. Auf diese Weise lässt sich die Gefahr verringern, dass ein von dem Sensor erzeugtes Signal, das für eine Ansteuerung der Leucht-Anordnung verwendet wird, durch das Licht der LED-Lichtquelle ungünstig beeinflusst wird.According to the invention, the carrier element has a shading region, by which the sensor is shaded from the light of the LED light source. In this way, it is possible to reduce the risk that a signal generated by the sensor, which is used for driving the luminous arrangement, will be adversely affected by the light of the LED light source.

Vorzugsweise ist der Abschattungsbereich derart geformt, dass er sich - in einem Längsschnitt parallel zur Längsachse betrachtet - auf zwei einander gegenüberliegenden Seiten des Sensors erstreckt. So ist insbesondere eine entsprechende beidseitige Abschattung ermöglicht.Preferably, the shading area is shaped so that it extends - viewed in a longitudinal section parallel to the longitudinal axis - on two opposite sides of the sensor. In particular, a corresponding two-sided shading is possible.

Vorzugsweise umfasst das Trägerelement ein, insbesondere aus einem gebogenen Blechteil gefertigtes Trageteil, durch das der Abschattungsbereich gebildet ist. Dies ist von Vorteil mit Bezug auf eine einfache Herstellungsmöglichkeit sowie eine Begrenzung der benötigten Bauteile.The carrier element preferably comprises a carrying part, in particular made of a bent sheet-metal part, through which the shading region is formed. This is advantageous with respect to a simple production possibility and a limitation of the required components.

Vorzugsweise ist dabei das Trageteil derart gestaltet, dass es - in einem Längsschnitt parallel zur Längsachse betrachtet - den Sensor umgreift. Hierdurch ist eine besonders effektive Abschattung ermöglicht.Preferably, the support member is designed such that it - viewed in a longitudinal section parallel to the longitudinal axis - surrounds the sensor. As a result, a particularly effective shading is possible.

Vorzugsweise weist der Abschattungsbereich eine schwarze Oberfläche auf oder ist mit einer schwarzen Oberflächenschicht versehen. Hierdurch ist die Lichtabschattung unterstützt.Preferably, the shading area has a black surface or is provided with a black surface layer. As a result, the Lichtabschattung is supported.

Vorzugsweise ist das Trägerelement dazu ausgestaltet, innerhalb des Gehäuses fixiert zu werden. So lässt sich der Sensor besonders geeignet relativ zu dem Gehäuse positionieren.Preferably, the carrier element is configured to be fixed within the housing. Thus, the sensor can be positioned particularly suitable relative to the housing.

Vorzugsweise umfasst das Trägerelement ein Federelement, das dazu ausgestaltet ist, zur Fixierung des Trägerelements in dem Gehäuse gegen einen, innerhalb des Gehäuses befindlichen Flächenbereich der Leucht-Anordnung zu drücken.Preferably, the carrier element comprises a spring element, which is designed to press for fixing the carrier element in the housing against a, located within the housing surface area of the luminous arrangement.

Vorzugsweise ist dabei das Federelement weiterhin zur elektrischen Erdungsübertragung ausgestaltet.Preferably, the spring element is further configured for electrical grounding transmission.

Weiterhin vorzugsweise umfasst die Leucht-Anordnung außerdem ein Folienelement, das zwischen dem Sensor einerseits und der Lichtaustrittsöffnung andererseits positioniert angeordnet ist. Dies ist vorteilhaft mit Bezug auf das äußere Erscheinungsbild der Leucht-Anordnung, weil sich der Sensor durch das Folienelement quasi kaschieren lässt.Furthermore, preferably, the lighting arrangement also comprises a film element, which is arranged between the sensor on the one hand and the light exit opening on the other hand positioned. This is advantageous with respect to the external appearance of the luminous arrangement, because the sensor can be virtually laminated by the film element.

Vorzugsweise ist dabei das Folienelement derart gestaltet, dass es sich - in einem Längsschnitt parallel zur Längsachse betrachtet - zumindest im Wesentlichen nicht über das Trägerelement hinaus erstreckt. So lässt sich vermeiden, dass das von der LED-Lichtquelle erzeugte Licht vor Austritt aus der Leucht-Anordnung durch das Folienelement geschwächt oder anderweitig unerwünscht modifiziert wird.In this case, the film element is preferably designed such that, viewed in a longitudinal section parallel to the longitudinal axis, it at least substantially does not extend beyond the carrier element. Thus, it can be avoided that the light generated by the LED light source is weakened or otherwise undesirably modified by the foil element before it exits the luminous arrangement.

Weiterhin vorzugsweise umfasst die Leucht-Anordnung außerdem eine lichtdurchlässige Abdeckung, die die Lichtaustrittsöffnung abdeckend angeordnet ist, wobei das Folienelement zwischen dem Sensor einerseits und der Abdeckung andererseits angeordnet ist. So lässt sich erzielen, dass der Sensor bei ausgeschalteter LED-Lichtquelle von außen betrachtet praktisch nicht oder zumindest kaum erkennbar ist.Furthermore, preferably, the lighting arrangement also comprises a light-permeable cover which is arranged to cover the light exit opening, wherein the film element between the sensor on the one hand and the cover on the other hand is arranged. Thus, it can be achieved that the sensor is practically not visible or at least barely visible when the LED light source is switched off when viewed from the outside.

Fig. 1 zeigt eine Querschnitt-Skizze einer erfindungsgemäßen Leucht-Anordnung. Die Leucht-Anordnung umfasst ein, sich längs einer Längsachse erstreckendes Gehäuse 1 sowie eine, innerhalb des Gehäuses 1 angeordnete, sich ebenfalls längs der Längsachse erstreckende LED-Lichtquelle 2 zur Erzeugung eines Lichts. Durch das Gehäuse 1 ist dabei eine Lichtaustrittsöffnung 3 für das Licht begrenzt. Fig. 1 zeigt dabei einen Querschnitt normal zu der Längsachse. Fig. 1 shows a cross-sectional sketch of a lighting arrangement according to the invention. The light-emitting arrangement comprises a housing 1 extending along a longitudinal axis and an LED light source 2 arranged within the housing 1 and likewise extending along the longitudinal axis for generating a light. Through the housing 1 while a light exit opening 3 is limited to the light. Fig. 1 shows a cross section normal to the longitudinal axis.

Bei dem hier gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Leucht-Anordnung in Form eines Lichtbandsystems gegeben, wobei das Gehäuse 1 durch eine insbesondere profilförmige Tragschiene des Lichtbandsystems gebildet ist; so bezieht sich hier das Bezugszeichen 1 dementsprechend auch auf die Tragschiene 1.In the embodiment shown here, the lighting arrangement is given in the form of a lighting system, the housing 1 by a particular profile-shaped mounting rail of the lighting system is formed; Thus, the reference numeral 1 accordingly refers to the mounting rail. 1

In der Tragschiene 1 ist eine längliche, sich längs der Längsachse erstreckende Leuchte 15 in Form eines so genannten Leuchtbalkens angeordnet. Dabei ist die LED-Lichtquelle 2 an der Leuchte 15 montiert. In Fig. 2 ist die Leuchte 15 von der Tragschiene 1 separiert entsprechend skizziert. Die Tragschiene 1 kann sich im Allgemeinen in Richtung der Längsachse betrachtet weiter erstrecken als die Leuchte 15, wobei insbesondere mehrere entsprechende Leuchten vorgesehen sind, die in analoger Weise in der Tragschiene 1 angeordnet werden können, so dass die Leuchten eine, sich entlang der Längsachse erstreckende Reihe bilden. Auch können entsprechend mehrere Tragschienen jeweils stirnseitig aneinandergrenzend angeordnet werden, so dass sich insgesamt mit dem Lichtbandsystem besonders lange "Lichtbänder" bzw. "Lichtlinien" bilden lassen.In the mounting rail 1 is an elongated, extending along the longitudinal axis extending lamp 15 is arranged in the form of a so-called light bar. In this case, the LED light source 2 is mounted on the lamp 15. In Fig. 2 is the light 15 separated from the mounting rail 1 is sketched accordingly. The mounting rail 1 can generally extend further in the direction of the longitudinal axis than the luminaire 15, wherein in particular a plurality of corresponding luminaires are provided, which can be arranged in an analogous manner in the mounting rail 1, so that the luminaires one extending along the longitudinal axis Form row. Also, according to a plurality of mounting rails each frontally adjacent to each other are arranged, so that can form a total of the light band system particularly long "light bands" or "light lines".

Die Tragschiene 1 ist beim gezeigten Beispiel im Querschnitt normal zu der Längsachse betrachtet in erster Näherung U-förmig, so dass ein erster U-Schenkel 31 der Tragschiene 1 und ein zweiter U-Schenkel 32 der Tragschiene 1 gebildet sind. Dabei ist die Lichtaustrittsöffnung 3 durch die beiden freien Endbereiche dieser beiden U-Schenkel 31, 32 begrenzt. Durch die Lichtaustrittsöffnung 3 bzw. die beiden freien Endbereiche des ersten U-Schenkels 31 und des zweiten U-Schenkels 3 der Tragschiene 1 ist eine Ebene E festgelegt. Im gezeigten Beispiel umfasst die LED-Lichtquelle 2 eine Platine 21, auf der LEDs 22 angeordnet sind, insbesondere längs der Längsachse L eine Reihe bildend. Die Platine 21 ist dabei vorzugsweise parallel zu der Ebene E ausgerichtet angeordnet, und zwar von dieser in einem Abstand a.The support rail 1 is in the example shown in cross section normal to the longitudinal axis considered in a first approximation U-shaped, so that a first U-leg 31 of the support rail 1 and a second U-leg 32 of the support rail 1 are formed. The light exit opening 3 is limited by the two free end portions of these two U-legs 31, 32. Through the light exit opening 3 and the two free end portions of the first U-leg 31 and the second U-leg 3 of the support rail 1, a plane E is set. In the example shown, the LED light source 2 comprises a board 21, on which LEDs 22 are arranged, in particular along the longitudinal axis L forming a row. The board 21 is preferably arranged aligned parallel to the plane E, and that of this at a distance a.

Weiterhin umfasst die Leucht-Anordnung einen Sensor 4. Bei dem Sensor 4 kann es sich insbesondere um einen Sensor zur Erfassung einer Helligkeit und/oder einer Bewegung in einer Umgebung der Leucht-Anordnung handeln. Vorzugsweise ist weiterhin eine (in den Figuren nicht gezeigte) Steuereinheit zur Ansteuerung der LED-Lichtquelle 2 vorgesehen, wobei die Gestaltung derart ist, dass ein von dem Sensor 4 erzeugtes Signal an die Steuereinheit übermittelt werden kann und durch die Steuereinheit in Abhängigkeit von dem Signal eine Ansteuerung der LED-Lichtquelle 2 erfolgt. Da dies als solches bekannt ist, wird hierauf an dieser Stelle nicht näher eingegangen.Furthermore, the luminous arrangement comprises a sensor 4. The sensor 4 may in particular be a sensor for detecting a brightness and / or a movement in an environment of the luminous arrangement. Preferably, a control unit (not shown in the figures) for controlling the LED light source 2 is furthermore provided, the design being such that a signal generated by the sensor 4 can be transmitted to the control unit and by the control unit in dependence on the signal a control of the LED light source 2 takes place. Since this is known as such, this will not be discussed at this point.

Der Sensor 4 kann eine Sensorfläche 41 aufweisen, die wie im gezeigten Beispiel näherungsweise plan gestaltet sein kann und die vorzugsweise im eingebauten Zustand nahe der Lichtaustrittsöffnung 3 bzw. nahe der Ebene E positioniert ist. Beispielsweise kann die Gestaltung derart sein, dass zwischen der Sensorfläche 41 und der Ebene E ein Abstand d gebildet ist, der deutlich kleiner ist als der Abstand a zwischen der Ebene E und der Platine 21. Beispielsweise kann vorgesehen sein, dass hierbei Folgendes gilt: d < 0,25 a, besonders bevorzugt d < 0,15 a.The sensor 4 may have a sensor surface 41 which, as in the example shown, may be approximately planar and which is preferably positioned near the light exit opening 3 or near the plane E when installed. For example, the design may be such that between the sensor surface 41 and the plane E, a distance d is formed, which is significantly smaller than the distance a between the plane E and the board 21. For example, it may be provided that the following applies: d <0.25 a, more preferably d <0.15 a.

Weiterhin umfasst die Leucht-Anordnung ein Trägerelement 5 für den Sensor 4, das dazu ausgestaltet ist, mit Bezug auf die Längsachse an unterschiedlichen Längspositionen relativ zu der LED-Lichtquelle 2 in dem Gehäuse 1 bzw. in der Tragschiene 1 angeordnet zu werden. So lässt sich der Sensor 4 mithilfe des Trägerelements 5 grundsätzlich an einer beliebigen Stelle längs der LED-Lichtquelle 2 anordnen. Dies ist vorteilhaft, weil es im Allgemeinen von den in jedem Einzelfall gegebenen Rahmenbedingungen abhängt, an welcher Stelle bzw. Längsposition der Sensor 4 erwünscht ist.Furthermore, the luminous arrangement comprises a carrier element 5 for the sensor 4, which is designed to be arranged with respect to the longitudinal axis at different longitudinal positions relative to the LED light source 2 in the housing 1 or in the mounting rail 1. Thus, the sensor 4 can be arranged at any point along the LED light source 2 by means of the carrier element 5. This is advantageous because in general it depends on the given conditions in each individual case, at which point or longitudinal position the sensor 4 is desired.

Wie in Fig. 1 beispielhaft skizziert, ist dabei vorzugsweise das Trägerelement 5 dazu ausgestaltet, derart angeordnet zu werden, dass der Sensor 4 zwischen der LED-Lichtquelle 2 einerseits und der Lichtaustrittsöffnung 3 andererseits positioniert ist. Fig. 3 zeigt eine perspektivische Ansicht auf einen Bereich der - hier von der Tragschiene 1 separierten - Leuchte 15, in dem der Sensor 4 angeordnet ist. Die Längsachse ist hier mit dem Bezugszeichen L angedeutet skizziert.As in Fig. 1 by way of example, the carrier element 5 is preferably designed to be arranged such that the sensor 4 is positioned between the LED light source 2 on the one hand and the light exit opening 3 on the other hand. Fig. 3 shows a perspective view of an area of the - here separated from the support rail 1 - 15, in which the sensor 4 is arranged. The longitudinal axis is sketched here by the reference symbol L.

Bei dem hier gezeigten Beispiel weist die Leuchte 15 ein profilartiges Leuchtengehäuse 16 auf, das in einem Querschnitt normal zu der Längsachse L betrachtet in erster Näherung U-förmig ist, so dass - wie in Fig. 2 bezeichnet - ein erster U-Schenkel 17 des Leuchtengehäuses 16 und ein zweiter U-Schenkel 18 des Leuchtengehäuses 16 gebildet sind. Das Leuchtengehäuse 16 ist beim gezeigten Beispiel vollständig in der Tragschiene 1 aufgenommen. Dabei sind die beiden U-Schenkel 31, 32 der Tragschiene 1 zumindest im Wesentlichen parallel zu den beiden U-Schenkeln 17, 18 des Leuchtengehäuses 15 ausgerichtet.In the example shown here, the luminaire 15 has a profile-like luminaire housing 16, which in a cross-section normal to the longitudinal axis L viewed in a first approximation U-shaped, so that - Fig. 2 a first U-leg 17 of the lamp housing 16 and a second U-leg 18 of the lamp housing 16 are formed. The luminaire housing 16 is completely received in the support rail 1 in the example shown. Here, the two U-legs 31, 32 of the support rail 1 at least substantially parallel to the two U-legs 17, 18 of the lamp housing 15 aligned.

Die Leuchte 15 kann beispielsweise über eine Rastverbindung in der Tragschiene 1 gehalten angeordnet sein.The lamp 15 may be arranged, for example, held in the support rail 1 via a latching connection.

Vorzugsweise weist das Trägerelement 5 einen Abschattungsbereich 6 auf, durch den der Sensor 4, insbesondere mit seiner Sensorfläche 41, vor dem Licht der LED-Lichtquelle 2 abgeschattet ist.Preferably, the carrier element 5 has a shading region 6, by which the sensor 4, in particular with its sensor surface 41, is shaded from the light of the LED light source 2.

In Fig. 4 ist eine Explosionsdarstellung des Trägerelements 5 und des Sensors 4 skizziert. Vorzugsweise ist der Abschattungsbereich 6 derart geformt, dass er sich - in einem Längsschnitt parallel zur Längsachse L betrachtet - auf zwei einander gegenüberliegenden Seiten des Sensors 4 erstreckt. So lässt sich geeignet eine entsprechende beidseitige Abschattung bewirken.In Fig. 4 is an exploded view of the support member 5 and the sensor 4 outlined. The shading region 6 is preferably shaped in such a way that, viewed in a longitudinal section parallel to the longitudinal axis L, it extends on two opposite sides of the sensor 4. Thus, a suitable two-sided shading can be suitably effected.

Herstellungstechnisch vorteilhaft kann das Trägerelement 5 ein Trageteil 7 umfassen, durch das der Abschattungsbereich 6 gebildet ist. Weiterhin herstellungstechnisch vorteilhaft kann das Trageteil 7 aus einem gebogenen Blechteil gefertigt sein.In terms of manufacturing technology, the carrier element 5 can comprise a carrier part 7, by which the shading region 6 is formed. Furthermore manufacturing technology advantageous, the support member 7 may be made of a bent sheet metal part.

In Fig. 5 ist eine normal zur Längsachse L und dabei parallel zur Ebene E gerichtete Seitenansicht des Sensors 4 und des Trägerelements 5 in separierter Form skizziert; zur Verdeutlichung der Größenverhältnisse ist ergänzend die Ebene E skizziert und der Abstand der Ebene E zur Platine 21 der LED-Lichtquelle 2.In Fig. 5 is a normal to the longitudinal axis L and thereby directed parallel to the plane E side view of the sensor 4 and the support member 5 in a separate form outlined; to clarify the proportions, the plane E is additionally sketched and the distance of the plane E to the board 21 of the LED light source. 2

Fig. 6 zeigt eine entsprechende Ansicht auf das Trägerelement 5 und den Sensor 4 bei Blickrichtung normal zur Ebene E und Fig. 7 eine entsprechende Ansicht entlang der Längsachse L. In der Regel wird das Lichtbandsystem zum Betrieb so ausgerichtet, dass die U-Schenkel 31, 32 der Tragschiene 1 senkrecht nach unten weisen bzw. die Ebene E horizontal orientiert ist. So betrachtet zeigt Fig. 6 also eine Ansicht "von unten". Fig. 6 shows a corresponding view of the support member 5 and the sensor 4 in viewing normal to the plane E and Fig. 7 a corresponding view along the longitudinal axis L. As a rule, the lighting system is aligned for operation so that the U-legs 31, 32 of the support rail 1 point vertically downwards or the plane E is oriented horizontally. Seen that way Fig. 6 So a view "from below".

Wie aus den Figuren beispielhaft zu entnehmen, ist dabei das Trageteil 7 vorzugsweise derart gestaltet, dass es - in einem Längsschnitt parallel zu der Längsachse L betrachtet - den Sensor 4 umgreift, insbesondere U-förmig umgreift.As can be seen by way of example from the figures, the support member 7 is preferably designed such that - viewed in a longitudinal section parallel to the longitudinal axis L - surrounds the sensor 4, in particular U-shaped surrounds.

Das Trageteil 7 kann hierzu - wie beispielsweise aus den Figuren 4 und 5 hervorgeht - einen ersten Schenkelbereich 61 und einen zweiten Schenkelbereich 62 aufweisen, die den Sensor 4 entsprechend umgreifen. Vorzugsweise weist das Trageteil 7 dabei einen Basisbereich 63 auf, über den die beiden Schenkelbereiche 61, 62 miteinander verbunden sind. Im gezeigten Beispiel sind die beiden Schenkelbereiche 61, 62 jeweils über eine Biegekante, die senkrecht zur Längsachse L orientiert verläuft, mit dem Basisbereich 63 verbunden. Der Basisbereich 63 ist dabei - im montierten Zustand des Sensors 4 - zwischen der LED-Lichtquelle 2 einerseits und dem Sensor 4 andererseits angeordnet. Der Basisbereich 63 kann dabei plan und parallel zur Ebene E orientiert gestaltet sein.The support member 7 can do this - such as from the FIGS. 4 and 5 shows - have a first leg portion 61 and a second leg portion 62 which engage around the sensor 4 accordingly. In this case, the support part 7 preferably has a base region 63, via which the two limb regions 61, 62 are connected to one another. In the example shown, the two leg regions 61, 62 are each connected to the base region 63 via a bending edge which is oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis L. The base portion 63 is - in the assembled state of Sensor 4 - arranged between the LED light source 2 on the one hand and the sensor 4 on the other. The base region 63 can be designed to be flat and oriented parallel to the plane E.

Vorzugsweise erstrecken sich die beiden Schenkelbereiche 61, 62 bis nahe an die Lichtaustrittsöffnung 3 bzw. die Ebene E heran. Insbesondere kann die Gestaltung derart sein, dass - wie in Fig. 5 bezeichnet - ein Abstand δ zwischen den Schenkelbereichen 61, 62 und der Ebene E kleiner oder gleich dem Abstand d zwischen der Sensorfläche 41 und der Ebene E ist, vorzugsweise δ < d erfüllt ist. Dies ist von Vorteil mit Bezug auf eine besonders effektive Abschattung der Sensorfläche 41.Preferably, the two leg regions 61, 62 extend close to the light exit opening 3 or the plane E. In particular, the design may be such that - as in Fig. 5 a distance δ between the leg portions 61, 62 and the plane E is less than or equal to the distance d between the sensor surface 41 and the plane E, preferably δ <d is satisfied. This is advantageous with respect to a particularly effective shading of the sensor surface 41.

Entlang der Längsachse L ist zwischen den beiden Schenkelbereichen 61, 62 und der Sensorfläche 41 vorzugsweise ebenfalls ein Abstand gebildet; dies ist vorteilhaft mit Bezug auf die erwünschte Abschattung der Sensorfläche 41. Insbesondere lässt sich so ein quasi klar definierter "Arbeitsbereich" für den Sensor 4 bilden. Im Fall eines Helligkeitssensors kann so das Umgebungslicht von dem Sensor 4 auf diese Weise besonders geeignet genau erfasst werden.Along the longitudinal axis L between the two leg portions 61, 62 and the sensor surface 41 is preferably also formed a distance; This is advantageous with respect to the desired shadowing of the sensor surface 41. In particular, a quasi-clearly defined "working range" for the sensor 4 can thus be formed. In the case of a brightness sensor, the ambient light from the sensor 4 can thus be detected in a particularly suitable manner in a particularly suitable manner.

Im gezeigten Beispiel ist zwischen dem ersten Schenkelbereich 61 und der Sensorfläche 41 ein erster Längsabstand Δl1 gebildet und zwischen dem zweiten Schenkelbereich 62 und der Sensorfläche 41 ein zweiter Längsabstand Δl2. Dabei ist jeder der beiden Längsabstände Δl1, Δl2 vorzugsweise größer als 25% des Abstands a zwischen der Ebene E und der Platine 21, besonders bevorzugt größer als 40%, jedoch weiterhin vorzugsweise kleiner als 150% des Abstands a, besonders bevorzugt kleiner als der Abstand a. Insbesondere kann die Gestaltung derart sein, dass die beiden Längsabstände Δl1, Δl2 jeweils mindestens so lang sind wie die Erstreckung D der Sensorfläche 41 entlang der Längsachse L.In the example shown, a first longitudinal distance .DELTA.l1 is formed between the first leg region 61 and the sensor surface 41 and a second longitudinal distance .DELTA.l2 between the second leg region 62 and the sensor surface 41. In this case, each of the two longitudinal distances Δl1, Δl2 is preferably greater than 25% of the distance a between the plane E and the board 21, more preferably greater than 40%, but still preferably less than 150% of the distance a, more preferably less than the distance a. In particular, the design may be such that the two longitudinal distances Δl1, Δl2 are each at least as long as the extent D of the sensor surface 41 along the longitudinal axis L.

Vorzugsweise weist der erste Schenkelbereich 61 auf seiner, der Ebene E zugewandten Seite einen ersten Flanschbereich 611 auf und der zweite Schenkelbereich 62 analog einen zweiten Flanschbereich 621, wobei sich die beiden Flanschbereiche 611, 621 jeweils parallel zur Ebene E erstrecken; insbesondere sind die Flanschbereiche 611, 621 jeweils nach außen gerichtet, also voneinander weg.The first leg region 61 preferably has on its side facing the plane E a first flange region 611 and the second leg region 62 analogously has a second flange region 621, wherein the two flange regions 611, 621 each extend parallel to the plane E; In particular, the flange portions 611, 621 are each directed outwards, ie away from one another.

Parallel zur Längsachse L betrachtet erstrecken sich die Schenkelbereiche 61, 62 vorzugsweise deutlich über die Sensorfläche 41 hinaus. Wie beispielsweise aus Fig. 2 hervorgeht, erstrecken beim gezeigten Beispiel die beiden Schenkelbereiche 61, 62 bis an die beiden U-Schenkel 17, 18 des Leuchtengehäuses 16 heran. Zwischen den freien Endbereichen der beiden U-Schenkel 17, 18 des Leuchtengehäuses 16 und der Ebene E sind sie dabei vorzugsweise nochmals verbreitert.Viewed parallel to the longitudinal axis L, the leg regions 61, 62 preferably extend clearly beyond the sensor surface 41. Like, for example Fig. 2 shows, in the example shown, the two leg portions 61, 62 extend to the two U-legs 17, 18 of the lamp housing 16 zoom. Between the free end regions of the two U-legs 17, 18 of the lamp housing 16 and the plane E, they are preferably widened again.

Wie aus Fig. 4 hervorgeht, kann zur Halterung des Sensors 4 an dem Trägerelement 5 beispielsweise eine Schraubverbindung vorgesehen sein. Beim gezeigten Beispiel ist der Sensor 4 mittels einer Schraube 64 an dem Basisbereich 63 des Trageteils 7 befestigt.How out Fig. 4 it can be seen, for example, a screw connection can be provided for supporting the sensor 4 on the carrier element 5. In the example shown, the sensor 4 is fastened by means of a screw 64 to the base region 63 of the support part 7.

Eine besonders wirksame Abschattung lässt sich erzielen, wenn der Abschattungsbereich 6 eine schwarze Oberfläche aufweist oder mit einer schwarzen Oberflächenschicht versehen ist, also beispielsweise schwarz lackiert ist.A particularly effective shading can be achieved if the shading region 6 has a black surface or is provided with a black surface layer, that is, for example, is painted black.

Vorzugsweise ist das Trägerelement 5 dazu ausgestaltet, innerhalb des Gehäuses bzw. der Tragschiene 1 fixiert zu werden. Vorzugsweise umfasst das Trägerelement 5 hierzu ein Federelement 8, das dazu ausgestaltet ist, zur Fixierung des Trägerelements 5 in der Tragschiene 1 gegen einen, innerhalb der Tragschiene 1 befindlichen Flächenbereich 9 der Leucht-Anordnung zu drücken. Beim gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel ist der Flächenbereich 9 durch den ersten U-Schenkel 17 des Leuchtengehäuses 16 gebildet. (In Fig. 3 ist das Federelement 8 nicht eingezeichnet.)Preferably, the carrier element 5 is configured to be fixed within the housing or the mounting rail 1. For this purpose, the carrier element 5 preferably comprises a spring element 8, which is configured to press against a lying within the support rail 1 surface area 9 of the lighting arrangement for fixing the support member 5 in the support rail 1. In the embodiment shown, the surface area 9 is formed by the first U-leg 17 of the lamp housing 16. (In Fig. 3 is the spring element 8 not shown.)

Vorzugsweise ist das Federelement 8 derart gestaltet, dass es bei montiertem Trägerelement 5 an den beiden U-Schenkeln 17, 18 des Leuchtenhegäuses 16 festgekrallt ist, so dass das Trägerelement 5 mit dem daran montierten Sensor 4 allein hierdurch gegenüber der Leuchte 15 in Position gehalten ist. Wie aus Fig. 4 hervorgeht, kann das Federelement 8 hierzu auf zwei gegenüberliegenden Seiten Zacken 81 aufweisen, die zum Einkrallen in die beiden U-Schenkel 17, 18 des Leuchtengehäuses 16 vorgesehen sind.Preferably, the spring element 8 is designed such that it is festgekrallt with mounted support member 5 on the two U-legs 17, 18 of the Leuchtenhegäuses 16, so that the support member 5 is held with the sensor 4 mounted thereto alone thereby relative to the lamp 15 in position , How out Fig. 4 It can be seen, the spring element 8 may have for this purpose on two opposite sides prongs 81 which are provided for clawing in the two U-legs 17, 18 of the lamp housing 16.

Weiterhin vorteilhaft ist dabei das Federelement 8 außerdem zur elektrischen Erdungsübertragung ausgestaltet.Further advantageous is the spring element 8 also designed for electrical grounding transmission.

Beim gezeigten Beispiel ist das Federelement 9 an dem Basisbereich 63 des Trageteils 7 befestigt, vorzugsweise mithilfe der Schraube 64, mit der auch der Sensor 4 am Trageteil 7 befestigt ist.In the example shown, the spring element 9 is secured to the base portion 63 of the support member 7, preferably by means of the screw 64, with which the sensor 4 is attached to the support member 7.

Weiterhin vorzugsweise umfasst die Leucht-Anordnung außerdem ein Folienelement 10, das zwischen dem Sensor 4 einerseits und der Lichtaustrittsöffnung 3 andererseits positioniert angeordnet ist. Dies ist vorteilhaft mit Bezug auf die Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten des äußeren Erscheinungsbilds der Leucht-Anordnung, weil hierdurch der Sensor 4 und das Trägerelement 5 besonders unauffällig gestaltet werden können.Furthermore, preferably, the lighting arrangement also comprises a film element 10, which is arranged between the sensor 4 on the one hand and the light exit opening 3 on the other hand positioned. This is advantageous with respect to the design possibilities of the external appearance of the lighting arrangement, because in this way the sensor 4 and the carrier element 5 can be designed in a particularly inconspicuous manner.

Insbesondere ist hierzu das Folienelement 10 derart gestaltet, dass es sich - in einem Längsschnitt parallel zur Längsachse L betrachtet - zumindest im Wesentlichen nicht über das Trägerelement 5 hinaus erstreckt. Beispielsweise kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Folienelement 10 derart geformt ist, dass es sich quer zur Längsachse L betrachtet von der Außenkante des ersten Flanschbereichs 611 bis zur Außenkante des zweiten Flanschbereichs 621 erstreckt.In particular, for this purpose, the film element 10 is designed such that it - viewed in a longitudinal section parallel to the longitudinal axis L - at least substantially does not extend beyond the support member 5 also. For example, it can be provided that the film element 10 is shaped such that it extends transversely to the longitudinal axis L viewed from the outer edge of the first flange portion 611 to the outer edge of the second flange 621.

Weiterhin vorzugsweise umfasst die Leucht-Anordnung außerdem eine lichtdurchlässige, insbesondere opale Abdeckung 11, die die Lichtaustrittsöffnung 3 abdeckend angeordnet ist, wobei das Folienelement 10 zwischen dem Sensor 4 einerseits und der Abdeckung 11 andererseits angeordnet ist. Hierdurch lässt sich erzielen, dass der Sensor 4 und das Trägerelement 5 bei ausgeschalteter LED-Lichtquelle 2 von außen betrachtet praktisch nicht erkennbar ist. Das Folienelement 10 kann hierzu - in Abhängigkeit von der Abdeckung 11 - beispielsweise geeignet digital bedruckt sein und eine entsprechend geeignete Farbe aufweisen.Furthermore, preferably, the lighting arrangement also comprises a translucent, in particular opal cover 11, which is arranged covering the light exit opening 3, wherein the film element 10 between the sensor 4 on the one hand and the cover 11 on the other hand is arranged. This makes it possible to achieve that, when the LED light source 2 is switched off, the sensor 4 and the carrier element 5 are virtually invisible when viewed from the outside. For this purpose, the film element 10 can be suitably digitally printed, depending on the cover 11, for example, and can have a suitably suitable color.

Das Folienelement 10 ist insbesondere von Vorteil, wenn es sich bei dem Sensor 4 um einen Bewegungssensor handelt. Im Fall eines Helligkeitssensors wirkt das Folienelement 10 naturgemäß ungünstig.The film element 10 is particularly advantageous if the sensor 4 is a motion sensor. In the case of a brightness sensor, the film element 10 naturally acts unfavorably.

Wie beispielsweise in Fig. 3 bezeichnet, kann der Sensor 4 weiterhin einen Kabelanschlussbereich 42 aufweisen, sowie einen Bedienelemente-Bereich 43, der Bedienelemente, beispielsweise DIP-Schalter zum Einstellen von Parameteren des Sensors 4 aufweist. Der Kabelanschlussbereich 42 ist beim gezeigten Beispiel zwischen der Sensorfläche 41 und dem ersten Schenklebereich 61 angeordnet, der Bedienelemente-Bereich 43 zwischen der Sensorfläche 41 und dem zweiten Schenklebereich 62.Such as in Fig. 3 The sensor 4 can furthermore have a cable connection region 42 and a control element region 43 which has control elements, for example DIP switches, for setting parameters of the sensor 4. In the example shown, the cable connection region 42 is arranged between the sensor surface 41 and the first limb region 61, the control element region 43 between the sensor surface 41 and the second limb region 62.

Im zweiten Schenklebereich 62 ist beim Ausführungsbeispiel noch eine Durchführung 65 für ein, mit dem Sensor 4 zu verbindendes Kabel ausgebildet.In the second Schenklebereich 62 embodiment 65 is still a passage for a, to be connected to the sensor 4 cable formed.
