Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a luminaire in which a light source is positioned close to an radiation surface, where the light source is effectively used or illumination range is enlarged for improved evenness in illuminance of radiation surface. <P>SOLUTION: A reflecting mirror 60 of paraboloid or near one whose focal point is F is provided to a lamp 4 so that the light from the lamp 4 is effectively used with directivity. A tilt α of an optical axis of the reflecting mirror 60 is set to be 0°<α<10° relative to the radiation source, for even illumination over the wide range of the radiation surface. A straight part of a small curvature in cross section is provided to a part of the reflecting mirror 60 so that the radiation part only with direct light is projected with reflection light. The reflection from an opposite reflecting surface 6b is eliminated to cut the effect of secondary reflection light so that irregularity or streak in the light of the radiation surface is suppressed, resulting in more even illumination. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a lighting plan for architectural lighting, as a method for avoiding direct light from a light source entering the eye and irradiating a wall surface or a ceiling surface in a uniform manner to obtain a sense of brightness. There are known methods such as wall washer, cornice lighting for indirectly illuminating a wall surface with a lighting device housed in a ceiling, or indirect lighting for a folded ceiling. In recent years, particularly, the market demands that the uniformity of illumination on the irradiation surface be more severe, and the cornice illumination that irradiates the irradiation surface from a translucent opening provided close to the irradiation surface on a surface perpendicular to the irradiation surface. Even in such methods, there is a demand for a lighting device that can increase the uniformity.

FIG. 8 shows an example of a conventional wall lighting fixture. The luminaire 10 of FIG. 8 performs so-called wall washer illumination over a wide area in the width direction and the vertical direction of the wall surface that is the irradiation surface 2, and is a cornice illumination type luminaire installed on the ceiling surface 3. is there. A luminaire 10 having a straight tube lamp (light source) 4 is housed in a long ceiling digging 31 provided at a portion where a ceiling surface 3 intersects with an irradiation surface 2. In the luminaire having this configuration, direct light from the lamp 4 is mainly used for illumination. If the distance L between the luminaire 10 and the irradiation surface 2 can be made sufficiently large, a high degree of illumination uniformity can be obtained, but normally such a distance is not allowed. Therefore, as shown in the figure, a lighting fixture is provided near the irradiation surface 2,
The irradiation surface P near the luminaire becomes relatively strong and bright, and strong light does not reach the wall surface portion Q far from the luminaire, and the uniformity becomes significantly poor. As an improvement measure for uniformly irradiating the irradiation surface, a lighting fixture including a parabolic reflector for condensing and controlling the direction is known, and examples thereof are shown in FIGS. 9 and 10. These conventional examples are improved in the effective use of the light source, the expansion of the bright range of the illumination, or the uniformity of the illumination, as compared with the above examples.

To do. As shown in FIG. 1, the reflecting mirror 60 has a parabola whose cross section is a focus F at the center of the lamp 4, and the inclination α of the optical axis due to the parabola, that is, the axis X of the parabola and the irradiation surface 2 ( It is installed with an inclination of 5 ° as the angle formed by the vertical line T). In order to illuminate a wide range from the upper side to the lower side of the irradiation surface 2, the area of the reflection surface 6a on the side opposite to the irradiation surface 2 with respect to the center of the lamp 4 is the reflection surface 6b on the irradiation surface 2 side. It has a larger configuration. As is well known, when a parabola reflects light from a point source placed at its focal point F, it reflects all parallel to its optical axis X. Therefore, because of this directivity, by arranging a parabolic reflector with an appropriate structure and configuration, even backward light that does not face the irradiation surface 2 is reflected forward by the reflector 60, and the light source can be effectively used. Done. Further, the inclination α of the optical axis can be appropriately selected to optimize the irradiation range above and below the irradiation surface 2. Furthermore, the fact that the actual light source is not a point light source,
The uniformity of illumination on the irradiation surface can be increased by using a reflecting mirror surface having a substantially parabolic shape deviated from a perfect parabolic shape or by optimizing the diffuse reflectance of the reflecting surface.

As described above, the improvement of the uniformity of lighting when the lighting fixture 1 of the present invention is used as a lighting fixture for wall illumination by ceiling mounting will be described. As described above, the reflecting mirror 6 of the luminaire 1 is provided with a curved or straight line portion 6c having a curvature smaller than that of the parabola on a part of the parabolic reflection surface on which the lamp 4 is focused. In the straight line portion 6c provided as a reflecting surface having a curvature smaller than that of the parabola, at the reflecting point M on the side closer to the lamp 4, the normal line of the reflecting surface is upward as compared with the case of the parabolic reflecting mirror 60 shown by the dotted line. Since it approaches horizontal, the irradiation point on the irradiation surface moves upward as compared with the case of the reflecting mirror 60. Also, the straight part 6
In c, at the reflection point N on the side far from the lamp 4, the normal line of the reflection surface is lower than in the case of the parabolic reflection mirror 60 shown by the dotted line, so the irradiation point is lower than in the case of the reflection mirror 60. Moving. This means that the light is reflected so that it spreads more in the straight line portion 6c than in the case of the parabolic shape. As shown in FIG. 3B, in the case of the parabolic reflecting mirror 60, the illumination surface D by only the direct light is used.
The boundary portion A of the illumination surface R0 due to the light including the reflected light appears as bright and dark illumination unevenness on the irradiation surface. On the other hand, in the illumination by the reflecting mirror 6 having the linear portion 6c of the present invention,
As shown in FIG. 3A, the reflected light can be poured to the boundary portion A ′ beyond the boundary portion A, and the irradiation surface including the reflected light spreads to R1. Similarly, at a reflection point N farther from the lamp 4, the reflected light is directed further, that is, further downward. In this way, the light can be supplemented to the area W between the direct light and the reflected light on the irradiation surface 2, so that there is an effect of eliminating uneven light and improving the uniformity.

Next, when the lighting fixture 1 of the present invention is used as a ceiling-mounted lighting fixture for wall illumination, the improvement of the uniformity of lighting by eliminating the secondary reflected light will be described. As shown in FIG. 4A, the illumination surface 2 of the reflecting mirror 6
The lower end of the reflecting surface 6b on the side of is the arrangement and structure invisible to the lamp 4 from the reflecting surface 6a far from the illumination surface 2. Therefore, the reflected light from the reflecting surface 6b does not enter the reflecting surface 6a. As shown in FIG. 4B, when the lower end of the reflecting surface 6b is visible from the reflecting surface 6a, the light from the lamp 4 is the primary reflected light FR from the reflecting surface 6b.
Is incident on the reflecting surface 6a, and the irradiation surface 2 is irradiated with the secondary reflected light SR. The light due to the secondary reflected light illuminates the area S on the irradiation surface, but the upper end B thereof is the boundary of the illumination due to the reflected light having a clear boundary of the lower end of the reflecting surface 6b. Appears clearly. Therefore, it is necessary to surely suppress the secondary reflection. In this respect, FIG. 4 (a)
In the luminaire shown in FIG. 2, since the reflective surface 6b is not provided with a reflective surface such that the reflected light emitted from the reflective surface is reflected by the reflective surface 6a on the side opposite to the irradiation direction, the secondary reflected light can be eliminated. As a result, the uniformity of lighting can be improved. The surface of the reflecting surface of the reflecting mirror has a diffuse reflectance of 40 to 80%. Thereby, appropriate illumination can be achieved by the directivity of the directly reflected light on the reflecting surface and the diffusion effect of the scattered light. Due to the structure of the reflecting mirror 6 described above, the installation location of the lighting fixture 1 can be made very small with the distance L between the lighting fixture 1 and the irradiation surface being about 10 to 20 cm.
