Luminaire
First Claim
1. A luminaire comprising:
- a concave reflector (1) with a plane of symmetry (2) and an optical axis (3) having an optical center (4) lying in said plane (2);
a planar light emission window (5) tangent to the reflector (1) and transverse to the plane of symmetry (2);
means (6) for accommodating an electric lamp transversely to the plane of symmetry (2), with an elongate light source of said lamp in the optical center (4);
a planar light-reflecting screen (7) extending along the optical axis (3) transverse to the plane of symmetry (2);
said reflector (1) comprising several plane facets (10,10′
) bounded by first, mutually substantially parallel, substantially flat planes (8) perpendicular, to the plane of symmetry (2), and having lengths bounded by second substantially flat planes (9) which arrange the facets into rows (11,11′
) which extend along the plane of symmetry(2);
wherein;
the first substantially flat planes (8) enclose an angle of 15°
-30°
with the light emission window (5), and the screen (7) extends from the reflector (1) to the light emission window (5).

Abstract
The luminaire has a concave reflector (1) with an optical axis (3) in a plane of symmetry (2), suitable to receive an elongate light source transverse to said plane (2). The reflector (1) is composed of flat facets (10,10′) which are bounded by first parallel planes (8) which are transverse to the plane of symmetry (2), and which facets (10,10′) are arranged in rows (11,11′) by second planes (9) which are parallel to the plane of symmetry (2). The first planes (8) are at an acute angle to a light emission window (5). The reflector (1) touches the window (5) at one side of the axis (3) and is extended by a light reflecting screen (7) up to said window (5) at the opposite side of the axis (3). The luminaire can be used to illuminate sports fields, the light emission window (5) being directed downwards, has a sharp cut-off angle and prevents stray light above the horizontal.
