Abstract

Disclosed is a lighting device comprising a solid state lighting element ( 20, 21, 101,102 ); a reflective arrangement ( 10 ) for reflecting luminous output of the solid state lighting element, the reflective arrangement comprising: a reflective conical central section ( 12 ) on a central axis of the lighting device; and an annular reflective body around the reflective conical central section, said body comprising an ellipsoid surface ( 14 ) having a first focal point lying inside the reflective conical central section and a second focal point, wherein the solid state lighting element is located at the second focal point; wherein the reflective conical central section ( 12 ) is movably mounted along said central axis. A lighting kit and luminaire including such a lighting device are also disclosed.

First claim

1 . A lighting device comprising:
a solid state lighting element; a reflective arrangement for reflecting luminous output of the solid state lighting element, the reflective arrangement comprising: a reflective conical central section on a central axis of the lighting device; and an annular reflective body around the reflective conical central section, said body comprising an ellipsoid surface having a first focal point lying inside the reflective conical central section and a second focal point, wherein the solid state lighting element is located at the second focal point; and wherein the reflective conical central section is movably mounted along said central axis;
wherein the annular reflective body comprises an annular array of reflective ellipsoid surfaces extending radially from said reflective conical central section, each reflective ellipsoid surface having a first focal point inside the reflective conical central section and a second focal point; and
the lighting device comprises a plurality of solid state lighting elements, each solid state lighting element being located at a respective one of said second focal points, and arranged to emit light towards said reflective ellipsoid surface.

2 . The lighting device of claim 1 , wherein the annular reflective body comprises a screw nut on the central axis, and wherein the central conical section comprises a screw shaft mating with said screw nut.

3 . The lighting device of claim 1 , wherein the annular reflective body comprises a first threaded surface portion facing the central axis and wherein the reflective conical central section comprises a second threaded surface portion engaging with the first threaded circuit portion, the reflective conical central section further comprising an attachment mounted inside the reflective conical central section for twisting the reflective conical central section.

4 . The lighting device of claim 1 , wherein the reflective conical central section has a conic constant in the range of −0.7 to −1.3.

5 . The lighting device of claim 1 , wherein the reflective conical central section has a convex surface such as a parabolic surface.

6 . (canceled)

7 . The lighting device of claim 1 , wherein the annular reflective body comprises an array of ellipsoid bodies, each body comprising:
one of said reflective ellipsoid surfaces; and a further reflective ellipsoid surface opposite the reflective ellipsoid surface, said further reflective ellipsoid surface creating a first focal point inside the reflective conical central section and a second focal point; the lighting device further comprising a solid state lighting element located at the second focal point of each of the further reflective ellipsoid surfaces and arranged to emit light towards said further reflective ellipsoid surface.

8 . The lighting device of claim 7 , wherein said ellipsoid bodies are angled relative to a plane perpendicular to said central axis.

9 . The lighting device of claim 8 , wherein the annular reflective body further comprises an annular array of further ellipsoid bodies angled relative to said plane, the ellipsoid bodies and further ellipsoid bodies being on opposite sides of said plane, each further ellipsoid body comprising:
a first reflective ellipsoid surface creating a first focal point inside said reflective conical central section and a second focal point; and a second reflective ellipsoid surface opposite the first reflective ellipsoid surface, said second reflective ellipsoid surface creating a first focal point inside said reflective conical central section and a second focal point; the lighting device further comprising: a solid state lighting element located at the second focal point of each of said first reflective ellipsoid surfaces and arranged to emit light towards said first reflective ellipsoid surface; and a solid state lighting element located at the second focal point of each of said second reflective ellipsoid surfaces and arranged to emit light towards said second reflective ellipsoid surface.

10 . The lighting device of claim 1 , wherein at least some of the first focal points coincide inside said reflective conical central section.

11 . The lighting device of claim 6 , wherein the plurality of solid state lighting elements comprises solid state lighting elements having a different colour or different colour points.

12 . The lighting device of claim 1 , wherein the reflective conical central section is cooperatively coupled to an electromotor, said electromotor being responsive to a controller comprising a receiver for receiving a control signal for controlling said electromotor.

13 . The lighting device of claim 12 , wherein the receiver is a wireless receiver for receiving a wireless control signal for controlling said electromotor.

14 . A lighting kit comprising the lighting device of claim 12 and a separate controller for producing said control signal.

15 . A luminaire comprising the lighting device of claim 1 .
