Mirror throwing systems

Luminaires with a mirror throwing system scatter the bundled light of a projector using a mirror into many small points of light, which are then steered in one direction glare-free. The projector light can be disassembled by the individual facets of the mirror, with exactly this process is important to prevent glare from light. Mirror thrower systems are mainly used for high illuminance, which can be implemented in a large area and glare-free.

Mirror thrower systems achieve a maximum degree of release, since several small light points are increasingly dazzling than large ones. Depending on the choice of the mirror, different light distributions can also be generated, such as symmetrical or asymmetrical.

Such mirror throwing systems are then used, among other things, in street lighting, in which the mirror mostly forms the light roof and the light is thrown back onto the floor. In contrast to the street lights, the projector and mirror do not form a classic lighting unit, but are installed separately. That means something like a projector or light thrower standing on the ground, which projects its light onto a separated mirror.
