A lantern luminaire comprises a lantern shaped body, having a light source receiving portion and a light releasing portion, the light releasing portion having one or more sides in which at least one aperture is provided through which light can escape the lantern shaped body, and an LED light source, disposed wholly within the light source receiving portion, for emitting light into the light releasing portion to exit the lantern shaped body via the at least one aperture. This arrangement reduces glare because the light source is not viewed directly under normal viewing angles. Further, any degradation in the light source is only perceivable in terms of the amount of light output by the luminaire there is no concept of undesirable visible effects such as bulb blackening. |
