Description

[0001] LED dual reflector

[0002] A system for illumination and a device for emitting focused light are proposed here.

[0003] The various arrangements of reflectors and light sources are largely responsible for the beam shape and / or width of the emitted light beam. The design of a light source itself, in turn, is crucial for the dissipation of heat generated by the light source. The better the heat can be dissipated, the more power can be supplied to the light source, which thus achieves more intense illumination. The interaction of the arrangement of the light source relative to the reflectors and the design of the light source itself influence the lighting properties and thus the lighting quality. DE 20 2013 006 570 U1 is known from the prior art; it shows a circular reflector which, when reflectors of the same design are arranged side by side, wastes space that could be used for additional reflectors with light sources.

[0004] There is a need for an improved, particularly space-saving, lighting system and an improved, particularly space-saving, device for emitting focused light. In particular, there is a need for a system that can be combined with systems of a similar or identical design in a space-saving manner, in order to improve heat dissipation and lighting quality for the combined systems as well as for the individual system.

[0005] This object is achieved with a device according to claim 1, a system according to claim 11 and / or a system according to claim 28.

[0006] According to a first aspect, a lighting system is proposed. The system has a vertical, longitudinal, and transverse axis. The system has a lighting unit, for example a single one, arranged on or in a first longitudinal and transverse axis plane. The lighting unit is configured to emit a single, bundled light in a first vertical axis direction, for example into a free space, as an illuminating light.

[0007] The system may further comprise a first reflector arranged on the vertical axis and on or in a second longitudinal and transverse axis plane located above, in particular in a first vertical axis direction, the first longitudinal and transverse axis plane. The first reflector may be configured to reflect the bundled light, in particular coming from the first vertical axis direction, as first reflected light or as illumination light. The first reflector may be configured to completely receive the bundled light, in particular coming from the first vertical axis direction, and to reflect it, in particular completely, as first reflected light or as illumination light.

[0008] The first reflector can be configured to receive the bundled light (coming from) the first vertical direction, in particular at least substantially, to split it and to reflect a part of the bundled light as a reflected light or as an illumination light.

[0009] The first reflector can have two (separate) reflector surfaces, in particular those arranged non-rotationally symmetrically about the vertical axis. The two reflector surfaces can reflect a respective portion of the bundled light (exclusively) as a first reflected first partial light and as a first reflected second partial light. The two reflector surfaces can reflect a respective portion of the bundled light as illumination light. In other words, a portion of the bundled light can be reflected by a first reflector surface and another portion of the bundled light can be reflected by a second reflector surface. The first and / or the second reflector surface can capture the bundled light at least almost completely.

[0010] The two separate reflector surfaces can be different or identical. At least one of the two (separate) reflector surfaces can be flat. At least one of the two (separate) reflector surfaces can be curved. At least one of the two (separate) reflector surfaces can be faceted.

The shape, extent, and / or curvature of one of the two reflector surfaces can differ from the other of the two reflector surfaces.

[0016] The spherical shell-shaped reflector segments can each have a reflector surface, e.g. parabolic.

[0017] A virtual focal point of the respective reflector segments can each lie in one of the two reflector surfaces, e.g., the first reflector. The virtual focal point can be the reflection of the bundled light in a first size on one of the two reflector surfaces. The size of the reflection of the light unit can vary with changing reflector surfaces of the first reflector. If the first reflector has two curved reflector surfaces, the corresponding size of the reflection of the light unit in one of the reflector surfaces is smaller or larger than compared to a first reflector with two (separate) flat reflector surfaces. The size of the reflection can become smaller or larger depending on the curvature. The reflector surfaces of the spherical shell-shaped reflector segments can each be faceted.

The light unit 210 emits a bundled light in a first vertical axis direction. In the example shown, the first vertical axis direction is along the arrow direction of the vertical axis Lz. The light unit 210 is surrounded by two spherical shell-shaped reflectors 230, 240. These reflectors 230, 240 are arranged in the longitudinal and transverse axis plane, on which the light unit 210 is also arranged. A first reflector 220 is arranged in a second longitudinal and transverse axis plane. The first reflector 220 is aligned along the longitudinal axis Lx and, in the schematic representation, has two reflector surfaces 222, 223.

[0049] Both reflectors 230, 240 each have a reflector surface 232, 242, the focal point of which lies on one of the two reflector surfaces 222, 223 of the first reflector. The bundled light emitted by the light unit 210 is reflected in the first reflector.

[0050] In the example shown, the beam path is shown from the light unit 210, via a reflector surface 223 to one of the spherical shell-shaped reflector segments 230. The portions of the light reflected by the surfaces of the reflector segments are used as illumination light.

The plurality of reflectors 226a-1 are arranged on a second longitudinal and transverse axis plane and form another circle, the further center of which lies on the vertical axis Lz.

[0053] Each of the plurality of reflectors 226a-l is assigned one of the plurality of light units 10a-l. The plurality of reflectors 226a-l and the plurality of light units 10a-l can be rotated relative to each other about the vertical axis Lz, so that each light unit 10a-l illuminates two reflector surfaces.

In other words, the collimated light from the light unit 10 penetrates the layer 250. The microplate 252, in turn, is configured to receive the light emitted by the layer 250 and to transmit it to a freeform lens 254. The freeform lens 254, in turn, is configured to emit the light received from the microplates 254 as illumination light. For example, walls can be illuminated with this.

The second side of the heat sink can have surface enlargements to improve heat dissipation.

[0057] The light source 110 has an active region (purple) on the first side 111, which exclusively emits light. In addition to the active region (purple), the first side 111 has a passive region 111b that is free of emitting light.

[0058] The second opening 122 of the light-guiding body 120 encloses the active region (lilac) and excludes a large portion of the passive region 111b. The light is emitted from the active region (lilac), received by the second opening 122 of the light-guiding body 120, guided through the light-guiding body, and emitted as a bundled light at the first end of the light-guiding body 121. In other words, the emitted light is completely received by the light-guiding body.

[0059] Fig. 6 shows a schematic representation of the light-guiding body 120 in a longitudinal section. The light-guiding body 120 is rotationally symmetrical about a longitudinal axis L. An inner diameter 126 of the light-guiding body 120 decreases gradually from a first opening 122 to a second opening 121. This achieves improved light focusing and thus a contoured light beam.
