AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Conventional luminaires struggle to provide effective and uniform illumination when positioned in corners, leading to light bleed and reduced illumination in desired areas.

Method used

A lens unit comprising a refraction portion and a total internal reflection portion arranged in an L-shape, which directs light away from the corner using total internal reflection, increasing the amount of light directed into the area and reducing light bleed, thereby enhancing illumination and uniformity.

Benefits of technology

The proposed lens unit design significantly increases the amount of light directed into the desired area, providing improved illumination and uniformity by utilizing total internal reflection to contain light that would otherwise escape, resulting in a more effective and uniform light distribution.
