Reflector and reflector lamp

A reflector in a lamp enables a with the help of reflective areas shielding of the lamp and the light line. If these areas are very shiny, these are reflectors that serve to steer light, with different light intensity distributions and radiation angles, depending on the design of the reflector. If, on the other hand, it is white paintwork, so the light is scattered and diffusely distributed. In general, the efficiency and the Light distribution mostly from the installation depth of the Light source as well as depend on the dimension of the reflector.

If such a reflector of a luminaire no longer has to be added, but is already firmly installed, it is a so -called reflector lamp. This has an interior -mirror -mirrored glass flask, which both the radiation angle and the Light steering certainly. Directly built in reflectors can then be found, among other things Allbruchslühlampen, LED Lamps, par lamps and high-voltage and low-volthalogen lamps.

Reflectors and reflector lamps are often used in the shop or Architecture lighting, but also everywhere else where lighting accents are to be created. Individual areas or objects are just as suitable for highlighting and in scene.
