ABSTRACT:
A luminaire has a housing with a light emission window (2), a tubular lamp supported in the housing facing the window (2) and having a center line extending in a plane P perpendicular to the window (2), side reflectors (5), and three-dimensional lamellae (10) which each have an outer edge (11) and a pair of inner edges (12). The outer edge of each lamellae is concave in a direction transverse to the window. The luminaire thus provides an optimized cut-off angle, screening light which would otherwise be dazzling but permitting non-dazzling light to pass. Each of the lamellae has a concave curvature in a direction parallel to the plane P but which flattens out going from plane P towards the side-reflectors (5). That enlarges the aperture through which light emanates and makes the illumination provided by the luminaire more uniform.
