A luminaire according to the invention has at least a number of illuminants and a reflection apparatus deflecting light radiation emitted by the illuminants into an illumination region, wherein a presence detection apparatus is assigned to the luminaire. In order to improve the control of every luminaire in view of the presence of a person and in order to further reduce the energy consumption, the reflection apparatus is, at least at points, embodied as a detection-reflection apparatus and electromagnetic detection radiation in particular is deflectable in the direction of the presence detection apparatus by way of the detection-reflection apparatus. The presence detection apparatus is arranged adjacent to the illuminants in the luminaire. The invention likewise relates to a method for presence detection, wherein electromagnetic detection radiation in particular is deflected in the direction of the present detection apparatus by way of a detection-reflection apparatus.

A lamp for lighting with an asymmetric light distribution comprises a casing extending substantially along an axis, at least one light source housed in the casing, and a substantially flat light guide panel having a lateral edge, parallel to the axis and facing the light source, for receiving the light emitted by the light source; the light guide panel comprises a plate made of substantially transparent material and an optical film coupled to the plate; the optical film is provided with an optical pattern configured so as to extract the light, emitted by the light source, entering the plate through the lateral edge, from the light guide panel through a first face of the plate, defining an emission surface of the lamp; and it is configured so as to distribute the light with an asymmetric distribution in relation to the emission surface.

A light fixture assembly configured to direct light outwardly and downwardly, while precluding the directing of light upwardly. The light fixture assembly comprises a housing, an LED light and a reflector. The LED light includes a mounting surface and a light emitting member. The mounting surface is coupled to the housing, and in particular on an inside surface of the upper side wall, with the light being directed in at least a downward direction. The reflector includes a second portion which is positioned within the inner cavity and below the LED light. The second portion is angled at least at 45° relative to a horizontal axis in an operational configuration. The reflector directs light imparted by the light emitting member in at least one of a downward and an outward direction, while precluding the directing of light imparted by the light emitting member in an upward direction.

A light-emitting device including at least a metal layer able to be heated and to propagate surface waves consecutive to the heating of the metal layer, with the metal layer being structured such that it comprises several diffraction patterns able to carry out a diffraction of the surface waves to free-space propagation modes, wherein a synthetic hologram is encoded such that a phase image of a pixel of the hologram is encoded by an offset in the position of one of the diffraction patterns, and a heater of the metal layer.

An alignment system for a linear light fixture includes multiple light elements. Each light element includes a top surface that defines a top channel. Each light element includes an endcap that defines apertures that extend through an entire thickness of the endcap. A top surface of each endcap defines an endcap channel. A hanger insert is positionable between the endcaps of two light elements. The hanger insert defines additional apertures. A top surface of the hanger insert defines an insert channel and a hanger connection. The top channels, the endcap channels, and the insert channel form an elongate channel. The system includes pins that are configured to extend through the apertures of the endcaps and the hanger insert. The system includes a connector plate that is configured to be received and secured within the elongate channel. The connector plate defines a central aperture that provides access to the hanger connection.

An optical device includes a lower surface that is substantially transparent. The optical device further includes an upper surface disposed opposite the lower surface and having a first specular layer disposed thereon. The optical device further includes a first lateral surface extending between the lower surface and the upper surface and having a second specular layer disposed on at least a portion thereof.

A lighting device, having: a first light irradiation unit including a first concave reflecting mirror and a first light source provided within the first concave reflecting mirror; and a second light irradiation unit that has a second concave reflecting mirror that is smaller than the first concave reflecting mirror and a second light source provided within the second concave reflecting mirror, the second light irradiation unit being disposed more to the light irradiation direction side than the first light source, and being disposed so that the optical axes of the first concave reflecting mirror and the second concave reflecting mirror are the same.

A vertical farming layer structure comprising: an underlying support for supporting a plurality of farmed plants; a light-reflective upper surface positioned above and facing the underlying support, the light-reflective upper surface being adapted to reflect light by diffuse reflection; and a plurality of light-emitting devices positioned between the underlying support and the light-reflective upper surface, each light-emitting device being positioned to emit light along a respective optical axis oriented towards the light-reflective upper surface such that light emitted from the light-emitting device is at least partially diffusely reflected off of the light-reflective upper surface to reach the plants supported on the underlying support.

An illumination module can comprise a circuit board, a semiconductor-based light source mounted to the circuit board, an encasing mounted to the circuit board, and one or more optical surfaces at least partially contained within the encasing. The semiconductor-based light source can emit light in a first illumination pattern. The one or more optical surfaces can be collectively configured to receive the light from the edge-emitting semiconductor-based light source. The one or more optical surfaces can include a single optical surface configured to receive, condition, and redirect the light from the edge-emitting semiconductor-based light source. As such, the one or more optical surfaces can be collectively configured to output the conditioned and redirected light from the illumination module in a second illumination pattern different from the first illumination pattern.
