Abstract

A lamp includes a lamp housing which has a light exit opening. A light source of a first type is arranged in the lamp housing. A mounting is fastened to the lamp housing and at least one light source of a second type is fastened to the holder. The at least one light source of the second type includes an organic light-emitting diode and the at least one light source of the second type is arranged downstream of the light exit opening in an emission direction.

Claims

1. A lamp comprising:

a lamp housing, which has a light exit opening;

a light source of a first type arranged in the lamp housing;

a lampholder fastened on the lamp housing; and

a light source of a second type fastened on the lampholder the light source of the second type comprising an organic light-emitting diode, and the light source of the second type arranged downstream of the light exit opening in an emission direction, wherein the light source of the second type is mounted rotatably and wherein the lampholder comprises at least two rods between which the light source of the second type is mounted rotatably.

2. The lamp according to claim 1, wherein the light source of the second type is designed to be reflective, at least in some places, and light emitted during operation of the light source of the first type impinges on and is reflected by the light source of the second type.

3. The lamp according to claim 1, wherein the light source of the second type is designed to be transmissive to radiation, at least in some places, and light emitted during operation of the light source of the first type impinges on and radiates through the light source of the second type.

4. The lamp according to claim 1, wherein the lamp housing has a first cavity, in which the light source of the first type is arranged, wherein an inner face of the first cavity facing the light source of the first type, is reflective.

5. The lamp according to claim 1, wherein the lamp housing has a first cavity designed as an ellipsoid of revolution, in some places, the light source of the first type being arranged in the vicinity of one focal point of the ellipsoid of revolution that is remote from the light exit opening, and wherein the light exit opening is arranged in the vicinity of another focal point of the ellipsoid of revolution.

6. The lamp according to claim 5, wherein the lamp housing has a second cavity arranged on a side of the first cavity remote from the light exit opening.

7. The lamp according to claim 1, wherein the lamp housing has a basic body in the form of a truncated cone or a truncated pyramid, at least in some places, wherein the truncated cone or the truncated pyramid tapers in a direction opposite to a direction of the light exit opening.

8. The lamp according to claim 1, wherein the lamp housing has a basic body and at least two cooling disks, the cooling disks being fastened on the basic body spaced apart from one another and surrounding the basic body laterally.

9. The lamp according to claim 7, wherein an outer face of the lamp housing that surrounds the light exit opening is reflective, at least in some places.

10. The lamp according to claim 1, wherein the lampholder is used for electrically connecting the light source of the second type.

11. The lamp according to claim 1, wherein the lampholder comprises at least one rod in the shape of a sinusoidal function, at least in some places.

12. The lamp according to claim 1, wherein the lampholder comprises first and second rods, a profile of the second rod proceeding from a profile of the first rod and a rotation about the main axis of extent of the first rod.

13. The lamp according to claim 1, wherein the lampholder is designed in the manner of a two-start screw, the lampholder comprising two rods, which are each in the form of a helix.

14. The lamp according to claim 6, further comprising a drive apparatus arranged in the second cavity, the drive apparatus configured to drive the light sources.

15. The lamp according to claim 1, further comprising a further light source of the second type arranged downstream of the light exit opening in the emission direction.

16. The lamp according to claim 15, wherein the lampholder comprises at least two rods, between which the light source of the second type and the second light source of the second type are mounted rotatably.

17. The lamp according to claim 1, wherein the lamp housing has a basic body and at least two cooling ribs, the cooling ribs being fastened on the basic body spaced apart from one another and surrounding the basic body laterally.

18. A lamp comprising:

a lamp housing, which has a light exit opening;

a light source of a first type, arranged in the lamp housing;

a lampholder, fastened on the lamp housing;

a light source of a second type, fastened on the lampholder, the light source of the second type being a flat light source, having an emission face with an area of at least 1 cm², the light source of the second type being arranged downstream of the light exit opening in an emission direction, wherein the lamp housing has a first cavity which is designed as an ellipsoid of revolution, in some places, the light source of the first type being arranged in the vicinity of one focal point of the ellipsoid of revolution that is remote from the light exit opening, and wherein the light exit opening is arranged in the vicinity of another focal point of the ellipsoid of revolution;

wherein the lamp housing has a basic body, in the form of a truncated cone or a truncated pyramid, at least in some places, wherein the truncated cone or the truncated pyramid tapers in a direction opposite to a direction of the light exit opening; and

wherein the lampholder comprises at least one rod, in the form of a sinusoidal function, at least in some places.
