Example embodiments relate to luminaire assemblies with reduced light pollution. One embodiment includes a luminaire assembly that includes a light source. The luminaire assembly also includes a support for carrying the light source. Additionally, the luminaire assembly includes a protector for protecting the light source from external environmental influences. The protector has an open top for accommodating the support, a bottom facing the light source, and a peripheral wall between the open top and the bottom. The peripheral wall includes a transparent or translucent portion. The light source is configured to send light in use through the portion of the peripheral wall. The protector is provided with a light absorbing surface arranged inside of the protector and facing the light source. The light absorbing surface is configured such that in use part of the light emitted from the light source is absorbed by the light absorbing surface.

A luminaire, in particular a downlight, comprises a light source and a reflector, the reflector having a light entrance end and a light exit end, the light entrance end comprising at least one light entrance aperture with an edge and the light exit end comprising a light exit aperture. A luminaire shade encompasses the reflector at least partially. A first portion of the light source light is emitted by the reflector through the light exit aperture and a second portion is emitted through the luminaire shade. The light source is an LED. The luminaire includes a light guide arranged near the light entrance aperture between the LED and light exit end so at least some LED light enters into the light guide, the light guide comprising a light-guiding area extending perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the reflector at least partially beyond the edge of the light entrance aperture.
