Die Aufgabe wird durch die Erfindung gelöst.The object is achieved by the invention.

Die Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der Lichtaufsatz an der der Lichtquelle zugewandten Fläche eine zentrische Bohrung, vorzugsweise eine Sackbohrung, aufweist und dass über der Lichtquelle ein, vorzugsweise länglicher, Lichtleiter angeordnet ist, der in die zentrische Bohrung des Lichtaufsatzes ragt. Mit der Erfindung ist es erstmals möglich dem Betrachter eine Brennpunktnachbildung einer Kerzenflamme zu vermitteln, wobei das Empfinden einer Kerzenleuchte mit der Helligkeit eines Standardleuchtmittels in Einklang gebracht wird. Mit der Erfindung ist für den Betrachter kein Unterschied zu einer echten Wachskerze zu sehen.The invention is characterized in that the light attachment on the surface facing the light source has a central bore, preferably a blind bore, and that over the light source, a preferably elongated, light guide is arranged, which projects into the central bore of the light attachment. With the invention, it is possible for the first time to impart to the viewer a focal point simulation of a candle flame, whereby the sensation of a candle light is reconciled with the brightness of a standard illuminant. With the invention no difference to a real wax candle is to be seen for the viewer.

Nach einer besonderen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist die Lichtquelle mindestens eine Leuchtdiode, vorzugsweise eine Hochleistungs-Leuchtdiode. Dadurch kann den heutigen Anforderungen an die moderne Lichttechnik Rechnung getragen werden.According to a particular embodiment of the invention, the light source is at least one light-emitting diode, preferably a high-power light-emitting diode.

Such simple connection variants increase the ease of installation and have proven themselves very well.

Nach einem besonderen Merkmal der Erfindung ist im Inneren der Leuchtenhalterung zwischen Energiezufuhr und Lichtquelle eine Elektronik, insbesondere eine Steuerelektronik, vorgesehen, wobei eine Montageplatte für die Elektronik als Kühlkörper vorgesehen ist. Um den verschiedenen Anforderungen gerecht werden zu können, wird eine Steuerelektronik eingesetzt. Um auch hier die Wärmeprobleme zu lösen, wird die Montageplatte für die Wärmeableitung herangezogen. Eine hohe Lebensdauer der Steuerelektronik ist damit gegeben. Gemäß einer besonderen Weiterbildung der Erfindung weist die Elektronik, insbesondere die Steuerelektronik, einen Temperatur- oder Lichtsensor auf, der die Temperatur an der Hot-Spot-Stelle der Leuchtdiode oder einen Lichtpunkt erfasst. Dadurch ist es möglich eine Kontrolle über die im Betrieb herrschende Temperatur nahe der Lichtquelle zu erlangen, wodurch die Lebensdauer der Lichtquelle enorm verlängert werden kann. Ferner wird durch die Erfassung eines oder mehrerer repräsentativer Lichtpunkte eine gleichmäßige Helligkeitskonstanz und/oder Farbkonstanz erreicht.According to a particular feature of the invention, an electronics, in particular an electronic control system is provided inside the lamp holder between the power supply and the light source, wherein a mounting plate for the electronics is provided as a heat sink.

Durch diesen Einsatz der Elektronik mit der thermischen Überwachung der LEDs ist eine Leistungserhöhung möglich, ohne dass ein Einfluss auf die Lebensdauer gegeben ist. Darüber hinaus dient der Mikroprozessor zur Decodierung von externen Schalt-, Steuer- oder Funktionsbefehlen. So kann durch gezieltes Ein- und Ausschalten ein Flackern des Lichtes erreicht werden. Auch ein Dimmen mit vorgegebenen veränderlichen Farbänderungen ist möglich.According to another particular embodiment of the invention, the electronics, in particular the control electronics, a current regulator, in particular a microprocessor for dimming and / or control functions, wherein optionally the current regulator is controlled by the microprocessor from the temperature or light sensor or via an external control.

To guide the cable 3, the light source holder 4 on its outer side a groove or groove 6. As a result, the cable 3 can be guided between the light source holder 4 and the inside of the lamp holder 1.

Der Lichtaufsatz 5 weist an der der Lichtquelle 2 zugewandten Fläche eine zentrische Bohrung, vorzugsweise eine Sackbohrung 7, auf. Über der Lichtquelle 2 ist ein, vorzugsweise länglicher, Lichtleiter 8 angeordnet, der in die zentrische Sackbohrung 7 des Lichtaufsatzes 5 ragt.The light cap 5 has on the light source 2 facing surface a central bore, preferably a blind bore 7, on. About the light source 2 is a, preferably elongated, light guide 8 is arranged, which projects into the central blind bore 7 of the light attachment 5.

Durch die Ausführung und/oder Formgebung des geschlossenen Endes 9 der Sackbohrung 7 im Lichtaufsatz 5 in Zusammenwirken mit der Ausführung und/oder Formgebung des in die Sackbohrung 7 ragenden Kopfendes 10 des Lichtleiters 8 wird die Lichtverteilung bestimmt. Die Lichtaustrittsfläche aus dem Lichtleiter 8 und die Lichteintrittsfläche der Sackbohrung 7 bilden quasi ein Linsensystem. Das Ende 9 der Sackbohrung 7 kann konkav, konvex, prismatisch, halbkugelförmig und/oder mattiert ausgebildet sein. Ebenso kann das Kopfende 10 des Lichtleiters 8 konkav, konvex, prismatisch, halbkugelförmig und/oder mattiert ausgebildet sein. Wie bereits erwähnt, bestimmt die entsprechende Ausführung das physiologische Lichtempfinden, also das im Raum hervorgerufene Ambiente.By the execution and / or shaping of the closed end 9 of the blind bore 7 in the light attachment 5 in cooperation with the execution and / or shaping of the projecting into the blind bore 7 head end 10 of the light guide 8, the light distribution is determined. The light exit surface from the light guide 8 and the light entry surface of the blind bore 7 form a quasi-lens system. The end 9 of the blind bore 7 may be concave, convex, prismatic, hemispherical and / or frosted. Likewise, the head end 10 of the light guide 8 may be concave, convex, prismatic, hemispherical and / or frosted. As already mentioned, the corresponding design determines the physiological perception of light, ie the ambience created in the room.

Der Lichtaufsatz 5 selbst kann aus einem Kunststoff auf Polyurethan- oder Acrylbasis bestehen. Natürlich sind auch andere Materialien, wie Glas, insbesondere geschliffenes Glas, denkbar. Dass auch andere Formen des Lichtaufsatzes 5 vorstellbar sind, wird später noch aufgezeigt. Vorzugsweise kann der Lichtaufsatz 5 derart ausgebildet sein, dass eine zusätzliche Lichtverteilung und gegebenenfalls eine Farbkorrektur erreicht werden, wodurch der Lichtleiter 8 nicht wahrgenommen wird. Befestigt kann der Lichtaufsatz 5 auf der Lichtquellenhalterung 4 oder am Ende der Leuchtenhalterung 1 über eine Steck-, Klebe- oder Schraubverbindung sein.The Lichtaufsatz 5 itself may consist of a plastic based on polyurethane or acrylic. Of course, other materials, such as glass, especially ground glass, conceivable. That other forms of the Lichtaufsatzes 5 are conceivable, will be shown later. Preferably, the light cap 5 may be formed such that an additional light distribution and optionally a color correction are achieved, whereby the light guide 8 is not perceived. Attached, the light attachment 5 can be on the light source holder 4 or at the end of the lamp holder 1 via a plug, adhesive or screw connection.

Die als Lichtquelle 2 verwendete LED wird auf der Lichtquellenhalterung 4 angeordnet bzw. beispielsweise mit einer Klebeverbindung befestigt. Der längliche, praktisch zylindrische Lichtleiter 8 ist direkt über der LED angeordnet und könnte einen Ring oder eine Hülse an dem der LED zugewandten Ende aufweisen. Über diesen Ring oder die Hülse wird der Lichtleiter 8 mit dem Lichtaufsatz 5 definiert gehalten und die Anordnung in der Leuchtenhalterung 1 befestigt.The LED used as the light source 2 is arranged on the light source holder 4 or fixed, for example, with an adhesive connection. The elongate, substantially cylindrical optical fiber 8 is disposed directly over the LED and could have a ring or sleeve at the LED facing end. About this ring or the sleeve of the light guide 8 is held defined with the light attachment 5 and the arrangement in the light fixture 1 attached.

Im Inneren der Leuchtenhalterung 1, zwischen Energiezufuhr und Lichtquelle 2 ist eine Elektronik, insbesondere eine Steuerelektronik 11 in Form einer Platine, vorgesehen, die auf einer Montageplatte 12 angeordnet ist. Die Montageplatte 12 dient als Kühlkörper. Zur einfachen Montage und Halterung der Montageplatte 12 kann diese mittels einer Steck-Klebeverbindung in der Lichtquellenhalterung 4 montiert sein.Inside the lamp holder 1, between power supply and light source 2 is an electronics, in particular an electronic control unit 11 in the form of a board, is provided, which is arranged on a mounting plate 12. The mounting plate 12 serves as a heat sink. For easy mounting and mounting of the mounting plate 12, this can be mounted by means of a plug-in adhesive connection in the light source holder 4.

Wie bereits weiter oben dargelegt, werden als Lichtquelle 2 Hochleistungsdioden verwendet. Dadurch kann es zu Problemen mit der Wärmeabfuhr kommen. Um nun diese Probleme zu beherrschen, ist die in der Leuchtenhalterung 1 vorgesehene Lichtquellenhalterung 4 ebenfalls als Kühlkörper ausgebildet. Eine optimale Wärmeabfuhr ist damit gewährleistet.As already explained above, 2 high-power diodes are used as the light source. This can lead to problems with heat dissipation. In order to control these problems now, the light source holder 4 provided in the light fixture 1 is likewise designed as a heat sink. An optimal heat dissipation is guaranteed.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Maßnahme der Temperaturbeherrschung kann dadurch erfolgen, dass die Steuerelektronik 11 einen Temperatursensor aufweist, der die Temperatur an der Hot-Spot-Stelle der Leuchtdiode erfasst. Dadurch wird die Kontrolle über die im Betrieb herrschende Temperatur nahe der Lichtquelle erlangt. Über die Steuerelektronik 11 könnte somit die Leistung reduziert werden. Insbesondere kann dies der Fall sein, wenn die Steuerelektronik11, einen Stromregler 13 mit Dimmfunktion umfasst und der Stromregler vom Temperatursensor angesteuert ist.A further advantageous measure of the temperature control can take place in that the control electronics 11 has a temperature sensor which detects the temperature at the hot spot location of the light emitting diode. This provides control over the temperature of operation near the light source during operation. The power could thus be reduced via the control electronics 11. In particular, this may be the case when the control electronics 11 comprises a current regulator 13 with dimming function and the current regulator is controlled by the temperature sensor.

Die Elektronik, insbesondere die Steuerelektronik 11, kann auch einen Lichtsensor aufweisen, der einen oder mehrere repräsentative Lichtpunkte erfasst, wodurch eine gleichmäßige Helligkeitskonstanz und/oder Farbkonstanz erreicht werden kann.The electronics, in particular the control electronics 11, may also have a light sensor which detects one or more representative points of light, whereby a uniform brightness constancy and / or color constancy can be achieved.

Die Steuerelektronik11, insbesondere der Stromregler 13, kann einen Mikroprozessor für Dimm- und/oder Steuerfunktionen beinhalten, wobei der Stromregler 13 über den Mikroprozessor vom Temperatur- oder Lichtsensor oder über eine externe Ansteuerung angesteuert ist. Der Mikroprozessor dient vorzugsweise zur Verarbeitung von externen Schalt-, Steuer- oder Funktionsbefehlen.The control electronics 11, in particular the current controller 13, may include a microprocessor for dimming and / or control functions, wherein the current controller 13 is controlled by the microprocessor from the temperature or light sensor or via an external control. The microprocessor is preferably for processing external switching, control or function commands.

Gemäß der Fig. 3 ist eine elektrische Leuchte gezeigt, deren Lichtaufsatz 5 die Form einer Glühbirne aufweist. Auch in diesem Fall wird die Lichtverteilung und damit das visuelle Empfinden des Lichtes durch einen Betrachter durch die Ausführung der Sackbohrung 7 im Lichtaufsatz 5 im Zusammenspiel mit dem ins Innere ragenden Lichtleiter 8 bestimmt.According to the Fig. 3 an electric lamp is shown, the light cap 5 has the shape of a light bulb. Also in this case, the light distribution and Thus, the visual perception of the light by a viewer through the execution of the blind hole 7 in the light tower 5 in conjunction with the projecting into the interior light guide 8 determines.

Zur Verwendung dieser Leuchte im Freien kann diese natürlich vergossen sein. Durch die konstruktive Schaffung genügender Kühlflächen, wie bereits oben aufgezeigt, sind keine Wärmeabfuhrprobleme gegeben.To use this lamp outdoors, this can of course be shed. Due to the constructive creation of sufficient cooling surfaces, as already indicated above, no heat removal problems are given.
