ABSTRACT:
The luminaire has a concave reflector (1) built up from plane facets (4). The facets are arranged in rows (7) which extend between first parallel planes (8) towards the light emission window (3). The facets are also bounded by second parallel planes (9). The first and the second parallel planes extend parallel to the axis (2) of the reflector, but transversely to one another. A lamp holder is (30) 204 present for holding an electric light source (31') in a plane transverse to the plane of symmetry (6) of the reflector. The luminaire is suitable for concentrating the light generated by the light source into a comparatively wide beam and for illuminating a field from a small distance with a high degree of homogeneity.
