Abstract:
The invention provides an illumination system comprising a light-emitting device which excites a first luminescent element, which forms part of the light-emitting device. The light emitted from the first luminescent element and/or the light emitted by the light-emitting device excite a second luminescent element, physically separated from the light-emitting device. By employing two luminescent elements, the first element in the light-emitting device, and the second element physically separated from the light-emitting device, such as on a cover plate, the conversion of light produced by the light-emitting device is performed at both a “local” and a “remote” location, respectively, and the amount of luminescent material required at the remote location may be reduced compared to the situation of the prior art where the light conversion was only performed at a remote location.

The invention relates to a color-tunable illumination system (10; 12; 14) and a luminaire. The color-tunable illumination system comprises a first light source comprising a first set of light emitting diodes (21, 24), and a second light source comprising a second set of light emitting diodes (31, 37, 34). Both the first and second light source emit light of substantially a first predefined color into a light mixing chamber (60). The light mixing chamber further comprises a first luminescent material (50) converting light of the first predefined color into light of a second predefined color. The first light source is positioned with respect to the first luminescent material for illuminating the first luminescent material with a first flux of light being part of the light emitted by the first light source into the light mixing chamber. The second light source is positioned with respect to the first luminescent material for illuminating the first luminescent material with a second flux of light being part of the light emitted by the second light source into the light mixing chamber. The first flux is different from the second flux. The effect of the measures according to the invention is that a change in the intensity of the light emitted by the first light source relative to the intensity of the light emitted by the second light source results in a change of the color emitted by the color-tunable illumination system.

A “cluster” is the smallest repetitive collection of light emitters forming the linear array of light emitters. A “unit” is the smallest number of adjacent clusters repetitive with respect to the outcoupling means and with respect to the light emitters.

Abstract:
A variable reflector device, comprising a reflector (6) arranged to direct light from a light source (7) and a casing (5) containing the reflector (6), a portion of said casing (5) being transparent to light directed by the reflector (6). The reflector (6) is formed by a meniscus (2) at an interface between two immiscible fluids (3,4) contained in said casing (5). According to this design, the spatial distribution of light from the light source is changeable by changing the shape of the meniscus between the two fluids. Since a change in shape of the meniscus is effected by a displacement of fluids rather than of mechanical parts, the change in reflector shape can generally be performed faster and with less energy consumption than is the case with previously known designs. Further, a meniscus between two immiscible fluids can, due to the nature of fluids, take on several different shapes, which is not the case when a solid body reflector is utilised.
