ABSTRACT:
According to the invention the luminaire, which is suitable for use with an elongate cylindrical light source, has a dish-shaped reflector with an egg-shaped light emanating face. The reflector mainly comprises a number of elongate facets which are each curved concave longitudinally and transversely and which extend with their longitudinal sides substantially parallel to the light emanating face.
The luminaire gives the illuminated road surface a very uniform luminance.
