Abstract:
A luminaire generating relatively high light intensity in a chosen direction, comprising:a light exit window (6); a reflector body (1) having an asymmetrical shape and positioned opposite the light exit window (6), said reflector body (1) screens all light that extends at an angle of 10 degrees or less to the horizontal, said reflector body (1) further having a reflecting coating (2) on its concave reflection side (3), which coating (2) has a diffuse reflection component and a specular reflection component; and means (4) for accommodating an electric lamp on the reflection side (3), wherein the reflection side (3) has an area (31) overlaid with a metallic member (32) having a metal reflecting surface, the metal reflecting surface allowing light rays originating from a center line of the electric lamp to undergo specular reflection thereby generating high light intensity in a chosen direction.
