Abstract

A lighting device is provided. The light device (1) comprises a light source (2), a driver (3) for providing an output to said light source (2), and a first housing (4). The first housing (4) comprises a blister pack with at least one compartment suitable for locating said light source (2) and driver (3). A second housing (6) may also be provided and the second housing (6) may advantageously comprise a luminaire.

Claims

1. A lighting device comprising:

a light source,

a driver for providing an output to said light source,

a first housing, and

a second housing configured to accept the first housing,

wherein said first housing comprises a blister pack with at least one compartment suitable for locating said light source and driver,

wherein said second housing comprises a laminate with a first surface opposite a second surface, said first surface and second surface sandwiching a corrugated center structure and the first housing is located between said first surface and said second surface.

2. A lighting device according to claim 1 further comprising:

an optical member for manipulating the light output by said light source, and

a thermal member,

wherein said thermal member comprises a flexible heat sink and/or a heat-spreader and said thermal member is located within said first housing.

3. A lighting device according to claim 1 wherein said second housing comprises a plastic laminate.

4. A lighting device according to claim 1 wherein said second housing comprises a paper laminate.

5. A lighting device according to claim 1 wherein said second housing comprises a hybrid corrugated laminate wherein said corrugated structure comprises a paper structure and at least one of said first surface or said second surface comprise a further material.

6. A lighting device according to claim 1 wherein said second housing forms a luminaire.

7. A lighting device according to claim 1 wherein at least one of said first or said second surfaces comprises a decorative veneer.

8. A lighting device according to claim 1 wherein said second housing further comprises a light exit window for transmitting the light emitted by said light source.

9. A lighting device according to claim 1 wherein said second housing comprises a foldable corrugated laminate.

10. A lighting device according to claim 9 wherein said second foldable housing is configured to be folded in a first direction for transportation and subsequently folded in a second direction before operation.
