ABSTRACT:
The apparatus for emitting light according to the present disclosure can include one or more linearly arranged devices for radiating light and one or more optical components which can be inserted into extruded profile. The extruded profile can be configured as hollow in an exemplary embodiment and can have an exit aperture for the egress of light from the extruded profile. The extruded profile can advantageously be configured in one piece, thereby permitting much easier assembly. Finally, the effect can also be achieved that dirt particles are not able to get into the carrier structure as readily, since a one-piece extruded profile has apertures that must be sealed only on one of its long sides and at its ends. The extruded profile can be used for different lighting tasks. The light-radiating devices can be inserted in variable positions in slots inside the extruded profile. In addition, the ideal optical components can be chosen and inserted in positions provided for them. This can make for a modular system that can be used in many different ways without the need to adapt or replace either the extruded profile or the inserts (the light-radiating devices and the other optical components).
