Abstract

A luminaire for general lighting includes an illuminant having a first light emission surface and a second light emission surface. The illuminant includes an organic, light-generating region. The first light emission surface and the second light emission surface are arranged at two mutually opposite main surfaces of the illuminant. A first light emerges at the first light emission surface during the operation of the illuminant, and a second light emerges at the second light emission surface during the operation of the illuminant. The first light and the second light differ from one another with regard to color and/or color temperature. The first light and the second light leave the luminaire in mutually different emission directions.

Claims (33)

1. A luminaire for general lighting comprising:

an illuminant comprising a first light emission surface and a second light emission surface, wherein:

the illuminant comprises an organic, light-generating region;

the first light emission surface and the second light emission surface are arranged at two mutually opposite main surfaces of the illuminant;

the illuminant emits different light from its two light emission surfaces;

a first light emerges at the first light emission surface during operation of the illuminant;

a second light emerges at the second light emission surface during the operation of the illuminant;

the first light and the second light differ from one another with regard to color and/or color temperature; and

the first light and the second light leave the luminaire in mutually different emission directions.

2. The luminaire according to claim 1 , wherein the luminaire is provided for mounting to a body, wherein the first light is emitted at least for the most part in the direction of the body and impinges thereon and the second light is emitted at least for the most part in the direction away from the body.

3. The luminaire according to claim 1 , further comprising a fixing apparatus configured to mount the luminaire to a body.

4. The luminaire according to claim 3 , wherein the first light is emitted at least for the most part in the direction of the body and impinges thereon and the second light is emitted at least for the most part in the direction away from the body.

5. The luminaire according to claim 2 , further comprising fixing means for mounting the luminaire in such a way that the illuminant is situated at a predefineable distance from the body.

6. The luminaire according to claim 1 , wherein the first light is provided for indirect lighting and the second light is provided for direct lighting.

7. The luminaire according to claim 6 , wherein the first light is blue light and the second light is white light.

8. The luminaire according to claim 1 , wherein the first light comprises a light color from a spectral range of blue light or is blue light.

9. The luminaire according to claim 1 , wherein the first light is cold-white light.

10. The luminaire according to claim 1 , wherein the second light is warm-white light.

11. The luminaire according to claim 1 , wherein the illuminant is a radiation-transmissive organic light-emitting diode.

12. The luminaire according to claim 11 , wherein the illuminant is a translucent organic light-emitting diode.

13. The luminaire according to claim 1 , wherein a distance between the first light emission surface and the second light emission surface is at most 1.0 cm.

14. The luminaire according to claim 1 , wherein the luminaire is mounted at a ceiling, wherein the first light is emitted in a direction of the ceiling and the second light is emitted in a direction of a floor which is situated on a side of the luminaire which faces away from the ceiling.

15. The luminaire according to claim 1 , wherein the first light and the second light emitted by the luminaire through the first light emission surface and the second light emission surface is a light which the luminaire for general lighting emits during the operation.

16. A luminaire for general lighting comprising:

an illuminant comprising a first light emission surface and a second light emission surface, wherein:

the illuminant comprises an organic, light-generating region;

the first light emission surface and the second light emission surface are arranged at two mutually opposite main surfaces of the illuminant;

the illuminant emits different light from its two light emission surfaces;

a first light emerges at the first light emission surface during operation of the illuminant, wherein the first light is provided for indirect lighting;

a second light emerges at the second light emission surface during the operation of the illuminant, wherein the second light is provided for direct lighting;

the first light and the second light differ from one another with regard to color and/or color temperature;

the first light and the second light leave the luminaire in mutually different emission directions; and

the first light is cold-white light and the second light is warm-white light.
