ILLUMINATION DEVICE AND ILLUMINATION ELEMENT THEREFOR

摘要

The invention relates to an illumination device (1) comprising an at least partially light-transmitting, elongate hollow body (2, 3) which is filled with a light-transmitting material (4), and light sources (5) which emit inside the body, in the longitudinal direction thereof, and each interact with a reflector (6), and light-scattering means, in which device a plurality of pairs of light sources (5) and reflectors (6) are present in the hollow body, and each pair comprises a first light source and a first reflector, and a second light source and a second reflector, and the first reflector and the second reflector, when the light sources are operating, reflect light substantially in the direction of one another. The light sources preferably comprise LEDs. The reflectors preferably also comprise outer reflectors. In this way, it is possible to obtain a very versatile, low-maintenance illumination device with very homogeneous radiation of light. The invention also relates to an illumination element, comprising a light source (5), a reflector (6) and connection means (8, 9) for use in an illumination device according to the invention.
