Abstract

A lamp ( 10, 10 ′) which comprises at least one base ( 11, 11 ′) for connection to a lamp socket on the lamp and at least one LED element ( 12 ). The lamp is provided with a plurality of LED elements ( 12 ) that are disposed at a distance to the socket and combined to a constructional unit ( 13, 13 ′).

Claims (27)

1 . A lamp ( 10 , 10 ′), comprising at least one base ( 11 , 11 ′) for connection to a luminaire-side lamp fitting and at least one LED element ( 12 ), characterized in that two or more LED elements ( 12 ) are provided which are arranged spaced apart from the base and are combined to form one module ( 13 , 13 ′).

2 . The lamp as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the module ( 13 , 13 ′) is prefabricated in the form of a separate element which is to be fixed to the base ( 11 , 11 ′) of the lamp.

3 . The lamp as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that two or more LED elements ( 12 ) are at least partially combined to form an essentially row-like arrangement, in particular to form a linear arrangement ( 13 , 13 ′).

4 . The lamp as claimed in claim 3 , characterized in that the linear arrangement ( 13 , 13 ′) is aligned essentially along a longitudinal axis (L) of the lamp.

5 . The lamp as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the LED elements ( 12 ), in particular individually, are designed such that they can be dimmed and/or switched on or off.

6 . The lamp as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the module ( 13 ) is essentially light-permeable.

7 . The lamp as claimed in claim 1 one of claims 1 , characterized in that the module ( 13 ′) is designed to be at least partially essentially reflective or light-scattering.

8 . The lamp as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that a bulb element ( 16 , 24 ) is provided which at least partially envelops the module.

9 . The lamp as claimed in claim 8 , characterized in that the bulb element ( 16 , 24 ) is made of plastic.

10 . The lamp as claimed in claim 9 , characterized in that the plastic contains diffusers.

11 . The lamp as claimed in claim 10 , characterized in that the bulb element is in the form of a plastic injection-molded part, and the diffusers are admixed to the plastic granulate prior to injection molding.

12 . The lamp as claimed in claim 10 , characterized in that the bulb element is in the form of a plastic injection-molded part, and the diffusers are part of the plastic granulate.

13 . The lamp as claimed in claim 10 , characterized in that the diffusers are made of fluorescent material.

14 . The lamp as claimed in claim 13 , characterized in that the fluorescent material converts UV light components, in particular the emissions in the blue or long-wave UV range (for example Hg lines of the lamp element ( 15 , 15 ′) of the second type) and/or the long-wave UV radiation emitted by the LED elements ( 12 , 12 ′), into visible light.

15 . The lamp as claimed in claim 8 , characterized in that the bulb element ( 16 , 24 ) is in the form of a diffuser.

16 . The lamp as claimed in claim 8 , characterized in that at least one lamp element ( 15 , 15 ′) of the second type is arranged on the base ( 11 , 11 ′).

17 . The lamp as claimed in claim 16 , characterized in that the lamp element ( 15 , 15 ′) of the second type has a fluorescent layer.

18 . The lamp as claimed in claim 17 , characterized in that the arrangement of the lamp element ( 15 , 15 ′) of the second type and the module ( 13 , 13 ′) is selected such that, at a given radiation characteristic for the LED elements ( 12 , 12 ′), the LED radiation hits, in particular exclusively, the fluorescent layer of the lamp element ( 15 , 15 ′).

19 . The lamp as claimed in claim 17 , characterized in that multiple reflections take place between the fluorescent layer and the module ( 13 , 13 ′).

20 . The lamp as claimed in claim 16 , characterized in that the lamp element ( 15 , 15 ′) of the second type is in the form of a compact fluorescent lamp or a high-pressure discharge lamp.

21 . The lamp as claimed in claim 16 , characterized in that the lamp element ( 15 , 15 ′) of the second type is designed such that it can be dimmed and/or switched on or off.

22 . The lamp as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that a bulb element ( 16 , 24 ) is provided which at least partially envelops both the module ( 13 , 13 ′) having the LED elements ( 12 ) and the lamp element ( 15 , 15 ′) of the second type.

23 . The lamp as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the lamp is essentially symmetrical with respect to a central plane (E) of the lamp ( 10 , 10 ′).

24 . The lamp as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the module ( 13 , 13 ′) is arranged centrally on the base ( 11 , 11 ′).

25 . The lamp as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that at least two modules ( 13 , 13 ′) are arranged, in particular spaced apart from one another, symmetrically along a central plane (E) of the lamp.

26 . The lamp as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that two sections of a module ( 13 , 13 ′) are provided, spaced apart from one another, symmetrically with respect to a central plane of the lamp.

27 . The lamp as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the LED elements ( 12 ) are each provided on one side of the module ( 13 , 13 ′).
