[0001] This invention relates to a lighting module, in particular for realising a street
lighting apparatus, and a lighting apparatus comprising a plurality of such lighting
modules.
[0002] The lighting groups for street applications that belong to the state of the art and
are commonly available on the market generally comprise: a main body suitable to provide
mechanical support to the entire structure and provided with suitable means of coupling
and fixing on poles, cables, heads, catenaries and walls; a lighting source (generally
of the filament or discharge type) provided with the related mechanical fixing means
and power supply connection; a possible reflector suitable to convey the light output
of said lighting source in a portion of space and optics generally comprising a diffuser
constituted by a transparent or semi-transparent screen, suitable to close the main
body and, if necessary, to filter the light emitted in the desired ways.
[0003] Street lighting has specific peculiarities related to the reflection characteristics
of the street surface, which is, in general, not isotropic. The light is reflected
as a function of the angles of incidence and of reflection of the light on the street
surface and thus, to optimise the street lighting and avoid dangerous shadow areas,
the light output must be directed where it is most effective, i.e., in the direction
in which the luminance is greater and more uniform.
[0004] In essence, the light output must be directed to the areas of the street surface
in which the ration between the resulting luminance and the illumination is greater
in order to achieve better lighting results with less light output, and in the areas
in which the resulting luminance is more uniform, so as to respect the parameters
of uniformity of illumination prescribed by current regulations.
[0005] In the case of LED lighting groups, there is the possibility of directing the total
flow of light output in a more precise manner by being able to intervene on each LED
to suitably direct the emitted light beam.
[0006] In state of the art apparatuses, the individual LEDs are generally arranged on the
same plane and the light must be deflected in the desired directions in order to achieve
the overall band of illumination desired.
[0007] To achieve this purpose, TIR (Total Internal Reflection) type lenses are used, which
are associated to each individual LED.
[0008] If, on the one hand, the use of single TIR-type lenses provides a high degree of
flexibility, it involves a series of technical problems, on the other. In the first
place, since these TIR lenses are normally made of plastic, there can be problems
related to the natural deterioration of the characteristics of the material. In fact,
yellowing and opacification of the plastics used can occur in relatively short times
and heavily impact the performance of the apparatus.
[0009] Furthermore, the use of the TIR lenses in street lighting groups makes it very difficult
to direct the light output with a precision such as to avoid dispersing the light
in areas adjacent to the area to be illuminated and, consequently, penalising the
energy savings of the system. In fact, it is particularly important to assess and
control the useful portion of the flow, which is the fraction of the flow of the apparatus
actually falling on the area to be illuminated and provides direct information about
the amount of light that the lighting apparatus in question casts on the area of interest
and outside of it. The percentage of light flow directed to unintended areas lowers
the energy yield of the lighting device and thus, in the final analysis, is a waste
of energy to be avoided or at least limited.
[0010] Finally, due to the optical laws regarding the phenomenon of refraction, each time
that a light radiation passes from one material to another (such as passages between
air and plastic and then between plastic and air) there is a loss of the intensity
and quality of the emitted light beam. In the case of the output of white light, refraction
can cause phenomena of the decomposition of light into coloured components.
[0011] There is a clear need for lighting apparatuses suitable to optimise their emission
profile without compromising an efficient management of the power dissipated from
the lighting sources used, so as to eliminate the technical problems described above.
[0012] WO 2012/011136 describes a lighting module comprising a reflector and at least two lighting sources
or groups of lighting sources. The reflector comprises a central part and two wings
inclined with respect to the central part. The lighting sources are arranged at the
ends of the central part and are oriented, with respect to a system of reference coordinates
C/γ, according to an angle C respectively comprised between 0° and 30° and between
150° and 180°, and according to an angle γ, with respect to the vertical, comprised
between 50° and 90°.
DE 10 2012 102 015 A1 discloses another lighting module of the prior art.
[0013] If, on the one hand, such a lighting module allows avoiding the use of TIR lenses,
on the other hand, it requires the assembly of the sources on respective inclined
planes, which obviously makes the structure of the lighting apparatus and its assembly
more complex with respect to a configuration with the lighting sources mounted on
a same plane.
[0014] The purpose of this invention is to provide a lighting module and a lighting apparatus
able to eliminate the drawbacks mentioned above with reference to known art and, in
particular, able to combine an optimal light output profile, efficient management
of the power dissipated by the lighting sources used, and real simplicity of construction.
[0015] Said purpose is achieved with a lighting module according to claim 1 and a lighting
apparatus according to claim 12. The dependent claims describe particularly advantageous
preferred embodiments.

different configurations of use.
[0017] In said drawings, 100 indicates, in its entirety, the body of a lighting apparatus
according to the invention, in particular for street lighting.
[0018] The apparatus body 100 comprises a support structure 1 and a lighting body 2 supported
by such support structure 1. The lighting body 2 comprises a plurality of lighting
modules 10 placed one next to the other so as to form a row, or array, of lighting
modules 10. The lighting body 2 can also comprise several adjacent rows of modules,
so as to form a matrix.
[0019] Each row of lighting modules 10 extends along a longitudinal axis X (hereinafter
called the longitudinal module axis) that, in the case of an apparatus for street
lighting, is the axis that identifies the direction that goes from the street edge
towards the centre of the street.
[0020] Each individual lighting module 10 comprises two module portions 10' suitable to
illuminate respective portions of an object, for example portions of a street surface.
[0021] The module portions 10' are equal to each other and symmetrical with respect to the
longitudinal module axis X. Each module portion 10' comprises a lighting source 12
and a respective reflector 14.
[0022] Advantageously, the lighting sources 12 of each lighting module 10 lie on a same
source plane α, for example substantially parallel to the object to be illuminated,
and are placed at the ends of the lighting module 10.
[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the lighting sources 12 are LED lighting sources, and
can be constituted each by a single LED or by a group of LEDs. The lighting sources
are mounted on one or on respective electronic cards 12' that define the source plane
α.
[0024] Each reflector 14 comprises a side wall 142, a first inclined plane 144 and a second
inclined plane 146. The side wall 142 extends parallel to the longitudinal module
axis X and extends from the source plane α forming a parabolic surface (i.e., the
profile of which corresponds to portion of a parabola) with parabola axis Y inclined
with respect to the source plane α.
[0025] The first inclined plane 144 extends with increasing width from the lighting source
12 to near the longitudinal module axis X.
[0026] The second inclined plane 146 extends with increasing width from the lighting source
12 towards a front edge 102 of the light output opening of the lighting module 10.
This front edge 102 is preferably substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal module
axis X.
[0027] The reflector 14 is also delimited, on the opposite side and preferably parallel
to the front edge 102, by a rear wall 148 that extends from the source plane α. In
a preferred embodiment, also this rear wall 148 form a parabolic surface, i.e., has
a profile corresponding to a portion of a parabola, with parabola axis Z preferably
inclined with respect to the source plane α.
[0028] In other words, the side wall 142 and the first inclined plane 144 determine the
light distribution of the lighting source 12 in the plane C0-C180 of the coordinate
system C/γ (Figure 4); the real wall 148 and the second inclined plane 146 determine
the light distribution of the lighting source 12 in the plane C90-C270 of the coordinate
system C/γ (Figure 5).
[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the reflectors 14 of each lighting module form a light
emission window of substantially rectangular shape. In this case, the lighting sources
12 are placed in correspondence of the two corners between the side walls 142 and
the rear wall 148.
[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the projection of the side wall 142 on the source plane
seen in plan view partially covers the lighting source 12. More precisely, the projection
of the side wall 142 covers exactly half the lighting source 12, as shown in Figure
4. This constructive choice allows obtaining the best uniformity of the light beam
generated by the lighting source 12.
[0031] Defining with W the axis of the lighting source 12 perpendicular to the source plane
α, in a preferred embodiment, the axis Y of the parabola of the side wall 142 is inclined
with respect the source axis W by an angle β comprised between 60° and 80°, preferably
70°.
[0032] In a preferred embodiment, each lighting source 12 is placed in the focus of the
parabola defining the side wall 142.
[0033] Preferably, the first inclined plane 144 is inclined with respect to the source axis
W by an angle comprised between 65° and 85°, more preferably 77°.
[0034] Preferably, the second inclined plane 146 is inclined with respect to the source
axis W by an angle comprised between 60° and 80°, more preferably 67°.
[0035] Preferably, the parabola axis Z of the rear wall 148 is inclined with respect to
the source axis by an angle ρ comprised between 25° and 35°, more preferably 31°.
[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the first inclined planes 144 of the reflectors 14 of
a same lighting module 10 are connected to each other by a central plane 16 parallel
to the source plane α.
[0037] Returning now to the lighting apparatus 100, as said the lighting body 2 is formed
by an array or by a matrix of lighting modules 10. In an embodiment illustrated in
Figures 2 and 6 to 9, the side walls 142 of the reflectors 14 of all the lighting
modules 10 are integrally formed in a single first frame element 20 that is fixed
to the support body 1 and which bears the other elements of the reflectors 14, as
described below.
[0038] To the frame element 20 is fixed, for example interlocking, a single second sawtooth
element 22 which integrally forms all the second inclined planes 146 and rear walls
148 of the reflectors 14.
[0039] Finally, on each portion of the sawtooth element 22 is fixed, for example interlocking,
a third reflective element 25 which integrally forms the first inclined planes 144
and the central connecting plane 16.
[0040] Therefore, with a reduced number of components it is possible to realise the entire
lighting body 2.
[0041] In an embodiment, the apparatus body 100 is fixed near the upper end of a pole 3.
[0042] The apparatus body 100 is connected to the pole 3 by means of a hollow ball joint
30 that slips over the end of pole 3 and which is fixed to this at a predetermined
height, for example by means of one or more joint fixing screws 32.
[0043] In an embodiment, the hollow ball joint 30 is formed by two halves that are juxtaposed
and fixed together to embrace the pole 3.
[0044] The support body 1 is formed by two body parts, front 1', which supports the lighting
body 2, and rear 1", which embrace the hollow ball joint 30 and which are fixed together,
for example by means of body fixing screws.
[0045] The hollow ball joint 30 is provided with a front tooth 36 and a rear tooth 38 facing
respectively towards the front body part 1' and towards the rear body part 1". Correspondingly,
in the front body part 1' and in the rear body part 1" are formed respective front
37 and rear 39 tooth seats, suitable to be engaged by the front 36 and rear 38 teeth.
The front body part 1' being more extensive and therefore heavier than the rear body
part 1", the front tooth seat 37 is engaged by the upper side of the front tooth 36,
while the rear tooth seat 39 is engaged from the lower side of the rear tooth 38.
[0046] Advantageously, the apparatus body 100 is then secured to the pole 3 only thanks
to the interaction due to the weight force of the apparatus body 100 between the teeth
of the hollow ball joint 30 and the respective tooth seats.
[0047] According to a further aspect of the invention, and independently of the optical
configuration of the lighting body 2, the same apparatus body 100 can be fixed to
the pole 3 in a first configuration of use, wherein the apparatus body 100 is substantially
orthogonal to the pole 3 (Figure 12), or in a second configuration of use, inclined,
for example by an angle of 10°, with respect to the first configuration of use (Figure
13).
[0048] For this purpose, the front 36 and rear 38 teeth of the hollow ball joint 30 are
formed in diametrically opposite positions with respect to the centre of the hollow
ball joint 30 and rotated with respect to the horizontal diametral plane of the joint
30, for example by about 10°. Therefore, in a first installation configuration, the
teeth 36, 38 are formed in such a way that the apparatus body 100 extends in a substantially
horizontal position (Figure 12). By mounting the hollow ball joint 30 on the pole
3 rotated 180° with respect to a horizontal axis of rotation, a second installation
configuration is obtained wherein the apparatus body 100 is inclined by about 10°
with respect to a horizontal plane.
