Filed:

Apr 19, 2013

Appl. No.:

13/866971

Inventors:

Peter K. Nelson - Denver CO, US
Chris Sorensen - Denver CO, US
Chris Slaughter - Denver CO, US
Kevin F. Leadford - Evergreen CO, US

International Classification:

F21V 13/02
H05B 37/02

US Classification:

315291, 362231, 362235, 36224901

Abstract:

Embodiments of the invention are directed to wall recessed two-component luminaires. The two components can include a primary optical subsystem and a secondary optical subsystem. The primary optical subsystem can provide indirect lighting, illuminate an architectural space upward toward a ceiling, and/or have greater luminous flux than the secondary optical subsystem. The secondary optical subsystem can provide direct lighting, illuminate an architectural space horizontally and/or downward, provide lit appearance, provide direct view color and/or color gradients, provide direct view luminance and/or luminous gradients, and/or provide lighting for ambience.

International Classification:

F21V 5/00

Abstract:

A two-component luminaire for illuminating an architectural space includes a housing with a panel that faces the architectural space. A peripheral edge of the housing, having first and second edge segments, forms an output aperture that faces the architectural space. A plane bisecting the output aperture defines a boundary between an indirect lighting region and a direct lighting region. The luminaire includes a primary optical subsystem arranged within the housing so as to be hidden from the direct lighting region by the first panel section, and configured to generate and emit light, through the output aperture, solely into the indirect lighting region, and a secondary optical subsystem, disposed within the housing and configured to generate and emit light through the output aperture.
