Abstract

A reflector for a lighting device is provided. The reflector may include: a plurality of reflecting bodies each having a plurality of internal reflecting facets; wherein the plurality of reflecting bodies are arranged to rotate by different rotation angles around their respective rotation axes, so as to be capable of compensating unsmooth light distribution caused by the internal reflecting facets.

Claims (21)

1. A reflector for a lighting device, the reflector comprising:

a plurality of reflecting bodies each having a plurality of internal reflecting facets;

wherein the plurality of reflecting bodies are arranged by different rotation angles around their respective rotation axes, so as to be capable of compensating unsmooth light distribution caused by the internal reflecting facets, and

wherein a rotation angle difference between successive reflecting bodies is A=θ/n, wherein, n is the number of the reflecting bodies, and θ is a facet angle of the internal reflecting facet.

2. The reflector according to claim 1 ,

wherein the plurality of reflecting bodies are sequentially arranged with the rotation angle difference being predetermined in a clockwise or anticlockwise direction.

3. The reflector according to claim 1 ,

wherein the plurality of reflecting bodies are axisymmetrically arranged.

4. The reflector according to claim 3 ,

wherein the plurality of reflecting bodies are centrosymmetrically arranged.

5. The reflector according to claim 1 ,

wherein the plurality of reflecting bodies are arranged into an array.

6. The reflector according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a substrate provided with openings for correspondingly mounting the plurality of reflecting bodies.

7. The reflector according to claim 1 ,

wherein the reflecting bodies are cup-shaped reflecting bodies.

8. A lighting device, comprising:

a reflector, comprising:

a plurality of reflecting bodies each having a plurality of internal reflecting facets;

wherein the plurality of reflecting bodies are arranged to rotate by different rotation angles around their respective rotation axes, so as to be capable of compensating unsmooth light distribution caused by the internal reflecting facets, and

wherein a rotation angle difference between successive reflecting bodies is A=θ/n, wherein, n is the number of the reflecting bodies, and θ is a facet angle of the internal reflecting facet.
