ABSTRACT:
Glare-free illumination of three-dimensional objects in a rock garden setting is disclosed. Artificial light is generated in a void space in a man-made rock, below and in close proximity to the object to be illuminated, shielding the eyes of observers from a direct view of the light source. Light shines upwardly in the shape of an inverted light cone enveloping the object and is only indirectly visible by its reflections from the illuminated objects, such as plants, trees and sculptures. The minimal light path reduces scattering of light, power consumption and lamp size. Suspension and support systems are disclosed, ensuring the horizontal position of the supports for the objects placed thereon and ensuring the vertical position of the illuminated objects, irrespective of surface configuration of the simulated rock garden or the angle of the ground upon which such rock garden may be placed.
