Patent ID: 7914170

Claim:
A light fixture having at least two fluorescent lamps socketed at both ends and arranged with central symmetry extending substantially over the respective length of the light fixture and having light emission surfaces held in supporting housing parts and disposed at at least one of a room side and at a ceiling side, comprising: a hollow support section arranged centrally and between two end parts and having an inwardly disposed receiving space and outwardly disposed concave reflection surfaces for the fluorescent lamps adjacent to the hollow support section and extending parallel thereto, the hollow support section having a high deflection stiffness and; light guide chambers disposed at both sides of the support section, the light guide chambers bounded by walls at the ceiling side, by inner walls extending therefrom to the light emission surface at the room side and closed by the light emission surface at the room side, the light guide chambers connected via a connection wall at the base side to form a one-part assembly, and wherein the maximum height of the light fixture in the region of the central hollow support section reduces over the walls of the light guide chambers at the ceiling side in the direction of the light fixture margins approximately down to the thickness of the light permeable components forming the light emission surface at the room side.
