Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Beleuchtungselement, gemäß des Oberbegriffs des Hauptanspruchs.The invention relates to a lighting element, according to the preamble of the main claim.

Beleuchtungselemente der gattungsgemäßen Art sind beispielsweise als Decken- oder Wandelemente bekannt. Solche Elemente bestehen hauptsächlich aus einem Korpus, in welches lichtdurchlässige Glas- oder Kunststoffplatten eingelegt sind, welche die dahinter befindliche Lichtquelle verdecken und das durchtretende Licht mehr oder weniger stark streuen. Es sind auch Beteuchtungselemente bekannt, deren Rahmen raumwärts mit einer Kunststofffolie bespannt ist, welche einerseits die Lichtquellen und die Decke bzw. Wand verdeckt und andererseits das Licht streut, sodass im Raum diffuse Lichtverhältnisse herrschen. Es sind in diesem Zusammenhang auch Beleuchtungselemente bekannt, die raumwärts, vor der Lichtquelle zwei parallele, voneinander beanstandete Folien aufweisen, welche eine verbesserte Lichtstreuung bewirken. Außerdem wird bei der Verwendung von zwei Folien vermieden, dass Schmutz- und Staubpartikel die sich auf der Rückseite der Folie ansammeln können, für einen Betrachter sichtbar sind. Alle bekannten Beleuchtungseiemente der gattungsgemäßen Art haben aber den Nachteil, dass sie nicht flexibei verwendbar, sondern ausschließlich für die Befestigung an der Decke oder einer Wand vorgesehen sind. Die Beleuchtungselemente dienen also als reine Lichtquellen, ohne dass sie gleichzeitig als beispielsweise Möbelstück nutzbar sind.Lighting elements of the generic type are, for example, as ceiling or wall elements known. Such elements are mainly from a body in which translucent glass or plastic plates are inserted, which hide the light source behind it and the scatter passing light more or less strongly. There are also Beebeuchtungselemente known whose frame is spatially with a plastic film is covered, on the one hand, the light sources and the ceiling or wall concealed and on the other hand, the light scatters, so in the room diffuse lighting conditions to rule. There are also lighting elements in this context known, the space, in front of the light source two parallel, from each other have complained films, which improved light scattering cause. Also, using two slides avoids that Dirt and dust particles that accumulate on the back of the film can be visible to a viewer. All known lighting elements However, the generic type have the disadvantage that they are not flexible usable, but only for attachment to the ceiling or a wall are provided. The lighting elements thus serve as pure Light sources, without that they can be used at the same time, for example, as furniture are.

DE 299 23 151 U1 offenbart eine als Decken- oder Wandelement ausgebildete flächige Leuchte gemäß den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffes von Anspruch 1, mit einem Diffusor und LEDs zur Erzeugung optischer Effekte, z.B. Bildpunkten auf dem Diffusor. Die Leuchte ist an Decken oder Wänden zu befestigen und daher nicht flexibel einsetzbar.DE 299 23 151 U1 discloses a flat designed as a ceiling or wall element lamp according to the features of the preamble of claim 1, comprising a diffuser and LEDs for producing optical effects, e.g. Pixels on the diffuser. The luminaire can be attached to ceilings or walls and therefore not flexible used.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Beleuchtungselement der gattungsgemäßen Art zu schaffen, welches flexibeler nutzbar ist.The invention is therefore based on the object, a lighting element of generic type to create, which is more flexible usable.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein gattungsgemäßes Beleuchtungselement mit den Merkmalen des kennzeichnenden Teils des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.This object is achieved by a generic lighting element with the features of characterizing part of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

Zur Lösung der Aufgabe ist vorgesehen, dass das Beleuchtungselement frei aufstellbar ist und das Korpuselement aus Holz, Kunststoff und/oder Metall, beispielsweise Aluminium, besteht. Wichtig ist hierbei, dass das verwendete Material einerseits dem Beleuchtungselement eine ausreichende Stabilität verleiht, anderseits aber nicht zu schwer ist, damit das Beleuchtungselement leicht versetzt und gestapelt werden kann.To solve the problem it is provided that the lighting element is freely deployable and the carcass element made of wood, plastic and / or metal, for example aluminum. It is important here that the material used on the one hand the lighting element sufficient stability, but on the other hand is not too heavy, so that the Lighting element can be easily offset and stacked.

Erfindungsgemäß wird eine Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass mehrere regelmäßig oder unregelmäßig angeordnete Lichtquellen vorgesehen sind, welche durch eine Farbtemperatursteuerung beeinflussbar sind und zumindest eine Seitenfläche vollständig mit einem lichtdurchlässigen Material bespannt ist. Ein aufstellbares Beleuchtungselement hat den Vorteil, dass es flexibel in die bestehende Raumstruktur integriert werden kann und nicht an der Decke oder einer Wand befestigt werden muss. Ein entsprechend ein- oder ausgestaltetes Beleuchtungselement kann dabei zusätzlich zu seiner Beleuchtungsfunktion auch als Möbelstück oder beispielsweise flexibler Raumteiler verwendet werden. Die zumindest eine Lichtquelle ist bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Beleuchtungselement innerhalb des Korpuselements angeordnet, sodass diese in das Beleuchtungselement integriert und mit diesem flexibel aufstellbar ist. Darüber hinaus werden durch mehrere Lichtquellen, die von innen heraus den Korpus beleuchtet, besondere Lichteffekte erzielt, wobei das Beleuchtungselement eine geschlossene Einheit bildet, bei der keine störenden, nach außen herausragenden Elemente sichtbar sind. Es ist dabei besonders vorteilhaft, wenn zumindest eine Seitenfläche vollständig mit dem lichtdurchlässigen Material bespannt ist. Es können je nach Bedarf und Zweck auch weitere Seitenflächen mit dem lichtdurchlässigen Material abgedeckt sein, wobei bei einem einzelnen Element, welches ohne weitere Elemente frei in einem Raum aufgestellt werden soll, die gesamte Oberfläche des Beleuchtungselements mit dem lichtdurchlässigen Material bespannt sein kann. Es können ferner variable Beleuchtungselemente verwendet werden, die jeweils eine geschlossene Einheit bilden und frei innerhalb eines Raumes aufgestellt werden können. Die Beleuchtungselemente können dabei so aufgestellt werden, dass die innerhalb des Korpus angeordneten Lichtquellen nicht sichtbar sind, sodass ein harmonischer, von innen beleuchteter Gegenstand entsteht. Die Beleuchtungselemente können je nach Ausgestaltung zur Verwendung einzelner Raumabschnitte oder als Trennwände bzw. Raumteiler dienen. Sie können aber auch einfach als Dekoration oder Lichtquelle frei innerhalb eines Raumes platziert werden.According to the invention, an object is achieved in that several regularly or irregularly arranged light sources are provided, which by a color temperature control can be influenced and at least one side surface completely covered with a translucent material. An erectable Lighting element has the advantage that it is flexible in the existing Room structure can be integrated and not on the ceiling or one Wall must be attached. A correspondingly on or ausgestaltetes lighting element can do this in addition to its lighting function as well be used as a piece of furniture or, for example, flexible room divider. The at least one light source is in the lighting element according to the invention arranged within the body element, so that these in the lighting element integrated and can be set up flexibly with this. Furthermore are illuminated by several light sources, which illuminate the corpus from within, achieved special lighting effects, the lighting element is a closed Unit forms, with no disturbing, outwardly outstanding Elements are visible. It is particularly advantageous if at least a side surface is completely covered with the translucent material. It can, depending on your needs and purpose, other side surfaces with the translucent material, with a single element, which can be set up in one room without further elements should, the entire surface of the lighting element with the translucent Material can be covered. There may also be variable lighting elements be used, each forming a closed unit and can be set up freely within a room. The lighting elements can be set up so that the inside of the body arranged light sources are not visible, so a harmonious, from inside illuminated object arises. The lighting elements can each according to embodiment for the use of individual room sections or as Partitions or room dividers serve. But you can also simply as a decoration or light source can be placed freely within a room.

In Abhängigkeit vom Lichtbedürfnis im Raum, den speziellen Erfordernissen bei der Ausleuchtung und der gewünschten optischen Wirkung des Beleuchtungselements selbst können mehrere regelmäßig oder unregelmäßig angeordnete Lichtquellen innerhalb des Beleuchtungselements vorgesehen sein.Depending on the need of light in the room, the special requirements of the illumination and the desired optical effect of the lighting element even several may be arranged regularly or irregularly Be provided light sources within the lighting element.

Eine besonders vorteilhafte, angenehme Ausleuchtung des Raumes kann dabei beispielsweise dadurch erreicht werden, dass mehrere farbige Lichtquellen jeweils einzeln in ihrer Intensität beeinflusst werden, wodurch eine Steuerung der Farbtemperatur des diffus ausgestrahlten Lichts vorgenommen werden kann. Solche Lichtquellen strahlen ein Frequenz- und lntensitätsspektrum aus, dass dem von natürlichem Licht entspricht und daher als besonders angenehm empfunden wird.A particularly advantageous, pleasant illumination of the room can thereby For example, be achieved by multiple colored light sources each individually in their intensity are influenced, creating a control the color temperature of the diffused light are made can. Such light sources emit a frequency and intensity spectrum, that corresponds to natural light and therefore as a particularly pleasant is felt.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, dass dieses frei aufstellbar ist und die zumindest eine Lichtquelle innerhalb des Korpuselements angeordnet ist und zumindest eine Seitenfläche vollständig mit einem lichtdurchlässigen Material bespannt ist. Auf diese Weise wird zum einen für einen Betrachter die Lichtquelle im Innern des Beleuchtungselements nicht einsehbar und zum Anderen der besondere optische Effekt eines geschlossenen, von innen beleuchteten Körpers gewährleistet. Vorzugsweise sollten dabei alle von außen sichtbaren Seitenflächen mit dem lichtdurchlässigen Material versehen sein. Dies können, wie oben bereits beschrieben, bei einzelnen, freistehenden Beleuchtungselementen alle Seitenflächen sein. Werden aber mehrere Beleuchtungselemente miteinander kombiniert, so können jeweils auch einzelne Seitenflächen offen bleiben oder durch Holzelemente etc. verschlossen werden. Wenn das lichtdurchlässige Material das Licht teilweise reflektiert, so wird durch die Mehrfachreflektion zwischen den gegenüberliegenden angeordneten Seitenflächen das Licht besonders gut gestreut, sodass die Ausleuchtung durch das Beleuchtungselement sehr gleichmäßig und diffus erscheint.In a preferred embodiment, it is provided that this can be set up freely is and arranged at least one light source within the body element is and at least one side surface completely with a translucent Material is covered. In this way, on the one hand, for a viewer the light source in the interior of the lighting element not visible and on the other hand, the special optical effect of a closed, from the inside guaranteed illuminated body. Preferably, all should be from the outside be visible side surfaces provided with the translucent material. These can, as already described above, for individual, freestanding lighting elements be all side surfaces. But are several lighting elements combined with each other, so can each individual side surfaces remain open or closed by wooden elements etc. If the translucent material reflects the light partially, so is through the multiple reflection between the opposed side surfaces the light scattered particularly well, so that the illumination through the lighting element appears very even and diffuse.

Das lichtdurchlässige Material kann eine Folie oder ein textiles Material sein, welche bzw. welches für Licht jeglicher Wellenlänge durchlässig ist. Die Folie oder das textile Material ist dabei in vorteilhafter Weise auf das Korpus staubdicht aufgespannt, sodass eine glatte Oberfläche ohne Faltenbildung vorliegt. Die Folie oder das textile Material kann mit einem zumindest teilweise umlaufenden Keder in einer Ausnehmung des Korpuselements oder einer Profilschiene eingehängt sein. Bei eingeschalteter Lichtquelle wird das Licht gleichmäßig und mit einem breiten Lichtspektrum transmittiert. In besonders vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass als lichtdurchlässiges Material eine Folie aus transluzentem Kunststoff, beispielsweise PVC, verwendet wird. Dabei werden vorzugsweise sehr dünne Folien mit einer Dicke von ungefähr «0,25» mm verwendet. Diese Folien sind für sichtbares Licht jeglicher Wellenlänge durchlässig, sodass auch ultraviolettes und infrarotes Licht im Grenzbereich transmittiert werden kann, wodurch dem Betrachter der Eindruck von natürlichem Licht vermittelt wird. Darüber hinaus kann Licht unter 380 Nanometer Wellenlänge herausgefiltert werden, sodass die Ausbleichung empfindlicher Materialien vermindert werden kann. Neben diesen besonders vorteilhaften Eigenschaften sind die Folien auch sehr flexibel, sodass sie ohne zu zerreißen leicht auf das Korpuselement aufgespannt werden können. Ein weiterer Vorteil solcher Folien liegt darin, dass diese nicht durchsichtig sind, sodass der Innenraum der Beleuchtungselemente, insbesondere die Lichtquellen, verborgen bleiben. Während diese Folien einen optimalen Sichtschutz des Innenraums des Beleuchtungselements gewährleisten, wird das austretende Licht über das gesamte Spektrum transmittiert und darüber hinaus gestreut, sodass eine gleichmäßige und sehr angenehme Beleuchtung entsteht. Besonders vorteilhaft ist auch die Durchlässigkeit der Folien für infrarotes Licht, da hierdurch Infrarotempfänger und Infrarotsender zur Steuerung der Beleuchtung oder weiterer Geräte eingesetzt werden können, wenn die Steuerungseinheiten innerhalb des Beleuchtungselements angeordnet sind. Wenn mehrere Folien an gegenüber liegend angeordneten Seitenflächen angebracht sind, können darüber hinaus in dem Raum zwischen den Folien Schallwellen durch Mehrfachreflektion und Interferenzwirkung wirkungsvoll absorbiert werden Die Beleuchtungselemente wirken sich folglich in vorteilhafter Weise auch positiv auf die Akustik des Raumes aus, wobei insbesondere Schallreflektionen vermieden werden.The translucent material may be a film or a textile material, which is permeable to light of any wavelength. The foil or the textile material is advantageously dust-proof on the body stretched so that there is a smooth surface without wrinkles. The film or textile material may be at least partially encircling Keder in a recess of the body element or a rail be hooked. When the light source is switched on, the light becomes even and transmitted with a wide spectrum of light. In particularly advantageous Embodiment of the invention is provided that as a translucent Material a film of translucent plastic, such as PVC used becomes. In this case, preferably very thin films with a thickness of about «0.25» mm used. These slides are all for visible light Wavelength permeable, so that also ultraviolet and infrared light in the Boundary can be transmitted, giving the viewer the impression is mediated by natural light. In addition, light can be below 380 nanometers Wavelength are filtered out, making the bleaching more sensitive Materials can be reduced. In addition to these particularly advantageous Properties, the films are also very flexible, so they without too tear can be easily clamped on the body element. Another Advantage of such films is that they are not transparent, so the interior of the lighting elements, in particular the light sources, stay hidden. While these films provide optimal privacy of the Ensuring the interior of the lighting element is the exiting Light transmitted across the entire spectrum and scattered beyond, so that a uniform and very pleasant lighting is created. Especially also advantageous is the permeability of the films for infrared light since thereby infrared receiver and infrared transmitter for controlling the lighting or other devices can be used when the control units are arranged within the lighting element. If several slides are attached to lying opposite side surfaces, can moreover, in the space between the foils sound waves due to multiple reflection and interference effect are effectively absorbed The lighting elements Consequently, they also have a positive effect the acoustics of the room, in particular sound reflections avoided become.

Um die Streuung des Lichts in vorteilhafter Weise weiter zu verbessern, ist in einer besonderen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass das lichtdurchlässige Material eine noppenartig geprägte Struktur und/oder eine Mikroperforation aufweist. Durch eine noppenartige Prägung der Oberfläche bzw. eine Mikroperforation in derselben wird eine zusätzliche Streuung des austretenden Lichts erreicht, was zu einer nahezu völligen Auflösung der Schattenbildung führt. Hierdurch wird eine besonders homogene und schattenfreie Ausleuchtung des Raumes ermöglicht. Die Mikroperforation verstärkt darüber hinaus den schallschluckenden Effekt des erfindungsgemäßen Beleuchtungselements, sodass hierdurch auch die Akustik weiter positiv beeinflusst werden kann.In order to further improve the scattering of the light in an advantageous manner, is in a particular embodiment of the invention provided that the translucent Material has a knob-like embossed structure and / or a microperforation having. By a knob-like embossing of the surface or a microperforation in it will cause an additional scattering of the exiting Light reaches, resulting in an almost complete resolution of the shadow formation leads. This results in a particularly homogeneous and shadow-free illumination of the room. The microperforation amplifies beyond that the sound-absorbing effect of the lighting element according to the invention, so that the acoustics are further positively influenced can.

Figur 1 zeigt eine perspektivische Ansicht dreier Beleuchtungselemente 1, welche miteinander verbunden sind. Die einzelnen Beleuchtungselemente 1 weisen eine Quader- bzw. Schrankform auf, wobei die Form durch ein Korpuselement 2 gebildet ist. Das Korpuselement 2 ist an allen von außen sichtbaren Seitenflächen mit einem lichtdurchlässigen Material, hier einer transluzenten PVC-Folie 3, bespannt. Innerhalb des Korpuselements 2 sind mehrere Lichtquellen 4 befestigt, welche das Beleuchtungselement 1 von innen ausleuchten. Da die transluzente Folie 3 nicht durchsichtig ist, sind die Lichtquellen 4 von außen nicht sichtbar. Die Folie 3 emittiert nach außen ein breites Lichtspektrum, wobei das Licht stark gestreut wird und somit eine homogene und schattenfreie Ausleuchtung des Raumes erzielt werden kann. Durch die starke Streuung des Lichts verschwimmen auch die Konturen der innenliegenden Lichtquellen 4, sodass diese auch im eingeschalteten Zustand von außen nicht mehr sichtbar sind. Durch die Emission eines breiten Lichtspektrums wird ferner der Eindruck von natürlichem Licht vermittelt, was für einen Betrachter sehr angenehm ist. Die Beleuchtungselemente 1 weisen an ihren Seitenflächen Verbindungselemente 5 auf, mittels derer die einzelnen Beleuchtungselemente 1 miteinander verbunden sind. Die Verbindungselemente 5 können dabei Steck-, Klemm- oder Schraubverbindungen sein, sodass eine einfache und schnelle Montage möglich ist. Auf Grund der stabilen Verbindung zwischen den einzelnen Beleuchtungselementen 1 entsteht eine homogene Einheit, sodass diese beispielsweise als Trennwand oder Raumteiler verwendet werden kann. Die Beleuchtungselemente 1 können auf diese Weise flexibel als Möbelstücke bzw. Strukturelement in die bestehende Raumstruktur integriert werden. Die erfindungsgemäßen Beleuchtungselemente 1 erfüllen somit praktisch eine Doppelfunktion, wobei sie einerseits als Beleuchtung und andererseits als Möbelelement dienen. Die am unteren Ende des Korpuselements 2 angeordnete Aufstellfläche ist im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel mit einer Bodenplatte 6 versehen. Auf diese Weise wird das Beleuchtungselement stabilisiert und darüber hinaus das Eindringen von Schmutz verhindert. Unterhalb des Korpuselements 2 sind darüber hinaus Rollen 7 angebracht, sodass das Beleuchtungselement 1 innerhalb eines Raumes frei aufstellbar und leicht verschiebbar ist.FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of three lighting elements 1, which are interconnected. The individual lighting elements 1 have a cuboid or cabinet shape, wherein the shape by a body element 2 is formed. The body element 2 is visible at all from the outside Side surfaces with a translucent material, here a translucent PVC film 3, covered. Within the body member 2 are a plurality of light sources 4, which illuminate the lighting element 1 from the inside. Since the translucent film 3 is not transparent, the light sources 4 are of not visible on the outside. The film 3 emits a broad spectrum of light to the outside, where the light is strongly scattered and thus a homogeneous and shadow-free Illumination of the room can be achieved. By the strong Scattering of the light also blurs the contours of the inner ones Light sources 4, so that they are not in the on state from the outside are more visible. By the emission of a broad spectrum of light is further the impression of natural light conveys, which is very much for a viewer is pleasant. The lighting elements 1 have on their side surfaces Connecting elements 5, by means of which the individual lighting elements 1 are connected to each other. The connecting elements 5 can thereby Plug, clamp or screw, so a simple and fast assembly is possible. Due to the stable connection between the individual lighting elements 1 creates a homogeneous unit, so this can be used for example as a partition or room divider. The lighting elements 1 can be flexible in this way as furniture or structural element are integrated into the existing spatial structure. The Lighting elements 1 according to the invention thus practically fulfill one Double function, whereby on the one hand as lighting and on the other hand as a furniture element serve. The arranged at the lower end of the body member 2 Aufstellfläche is in the present embodiment with a bottom plate. 6 Mistake. In this way, the lighting element is stabilized and above also prevents the ingress of dirt. Below the body element 2 are also mounted rollers 7, so that the lighting element 1 freely positionable within a room and easy to move is.

Auf der Bodenplatte 6 ist ferner eine Steckerleiste 8 befestigt, welche Steckvorrichtungen für eine elektrische und digitale Verbindung enthalten. Hierdurch kann bei der Montage auf einfache und schnelle Weise eine elektrische und digitale Verbindung zwischen den einzelnen Beleuchtungselementen 1 hergestellt werden, sodass nicht jedes einzelne Beleuchtungselement 1 separat an den Stromkreis bzw. eine jeweilige Steuereinrichtung angeschlossen werden müssen. Störende optische Eindrücke durch eine aufwendige Verkabelung werden somit vermieden. Zur vollständigen Versorgung aller Beleuchtungselemente 1 reicht es aus, wenn ein Beleuchtungselement 1, welches beispielsweise in der Nähe einer Wand aufgestellt ist, an den Stromkreis bzw. die Steuerung angeschlossen ist. Durch die Möglichkeit einer digitalen Verbindung, können die einzelnen Beleuchtungselemente 1 hinsichtlich ihrer Beleuchtung separat oder koordiniert angesteuert werden. Die einzelnen Lichtquellen 4 können dabei beispielsweise dynamisch ein- und ausgeschaltet und/oder in ihrer Intensität gesteuert werden. Auf diese Weise lassen sich die unterschiedlichsten Lichteffekte erzeugen, wobei dynamische als auch statische Bilder generiert werden können.On the bottom plate 6, a connector strip 8 is further attached, which plug devices included for an electrical and digital connection. hereby can be used in an easy and fast way an electrical and digital connection between the individual lighting elements 1 made Be so that not every single lighting element 1 separately the circuit or a respective control device are connected have to. Disturbing visual impressions through a complex wiring are thus avoided. For complete supply of all lighting elements 1, it is sufficient if a lighting element 1, which for example is placed near a wall, to the circuit or the controller connected. Due to the possibility of a digital connection, can the individual lighting elements 1 separately with respect to their lighting or controlled in a coordinated manner. The individual light sources 4 can thereby, for example, dynamically switched on and off and / or in their intensity to be controlled. In this way, the most diverse Create lighting effects, generating dynamic as well as static images can be.

Wie die Beleuchtungselemente 1 aus Figur 1 weisen auch die Beleuchtungselemente 10, 20 Steckerleisten 11, 21 und weitere Verbindungselemente 12, 22 auf, mit Hilfe derer sie miteinander mechanisch und elektrisch bzw. digital verbunden sind. Das quaderförmige Beleuchtungselement 10 ist an seinem unteren Ende mit Rollen 13 versehen, sodass es im Raum frei aufstellbar und verschiebbar ist. Das Beleuchtungselement 20 weist dagegen keine Rollen auf, sondern ist mit seiner Aufstellfläche 23 flächig auf einen Teil der oberen, horizontalen Seitenfläche des Verbindungselements 10 aufgesetzt. Die obere, horizontale Seitenfläche des Beleuchtungselements 10 ist im oberen Teil mit einem Plattenelement 14 versehen, welches beispielsweise als Ablage dienen kann. Die in Figur 2 dargestellte Kombination der Beleuchtungselemente 10, 20 ist somit nicht nur als Lichtquelle, sondern auch als vollwertiges Möbelstück einsetzbar. Auf diese Weise ist eine neuartige, vielseitige und sehr attraktive Möblierung eines Raumes möglich.FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of two further lighting elements 10, 20, which are also connected to each other. Like the lighting elements 1 from FIG. 1 also have the illumination elements 10, 20 Plug strips 11, 21 and other fasteners 12, 22, with the help they are mechanically and electrically or digitally connected to each other. The cuboid lighting element 10 is at its lower end with Rollers 13 provided so that it is freely deployable and movable in the room. The lighting element 20, however, has no roles, but is with its footprint 23 surface on a portion of the upper, horizontal side surface the connecting element 10 is placed. The upper, horizontal side surface of the lighting element 10 is in the upper part with a plate element 14 provided, which can serve as a shelf, for example.

To this Weise is a novel, versatile and very attractive furnishing of a room possible.

Figur 3 zeigt ein Beleuchtungselement 1 gemäß Figur 1 in Kombination mit einem flachen Beleuchtungselement 3. Beide Beleuchtungselemente 1, 30 weisen an ihrer Unterseite Rollen 7, 31 auf, sodass die gesamte Kombination frei aufstellbar und verschiebbar ist. Die Verbindung zwischen den beiden Beleuchtungselementen 1, 30 ist hierbei in gleicher Weise hergestellt, wie bereits in den Figuren 1 und 2 erläutert. Wie aus der Gesamtheit der Figuren 1 - 3 ersichtlich, können die Beleuchtungselemente unterschiedliche Maße aufweisen. So ist beispielsweise vorgesehen, standardisierte Beleuchtungselemente mit Abmessungen von 90 x 90 cm und 90 x 180 cm oder anderen korrespondierenden Abmessungen bereitzustellen. Die Beleuchtungselemente 1, 30 können dabei beispielsweise eine Tiefe von 30 - 40 cm aufweisen. Es sind aber alle sinnvollen und ästhetischen, geometrischen Formen möglich, da die erfindungsgemäßen Beleuchtungselemente äußerst variabel sind. In vorteilhafter Weise sind zumindest die beiden gegenüberliegenden, großflächigen Seitenflächen mit dem lichtdurchlässigen Material bespannt, sodass die beschriebenen optischen Effekte realisiert werden können, die schallschluckende Wirkung der Beleuchtungselemente gewährleistet ist und der Innenraum der Beleuchtungselemente von außen unsichtbar bleibt. Aus dekorativen Gründen ist es dabei sinnvoll, wenn auch die sichtbaren schmalen Seitenflächen vollständig mit dem lichtdurchlässigen Material versehen sind. Bei dieser Ausgestaltung ist es darüber hinaus besonders vorteilhaft, wenn die gesamte Kombination aus Beleuchtungselementen allseitig mit dem lichtdurchlässigen Material versehen ist, wobei dieses staubdicht aufgespannt sein sollte, um das Eindringen von Schmutzpartikeln in den Innenraum der Beleuchtungselemente zu vermeiden. FIG. 3 shows a lighting element 1 according to FIG. 1 in combination with FIG a flat lighting element 3. Both lighting elements 1, 30th have on their underside rollers 7, 31, so that the entire combination freely deployable and movable. The connection between the two lighting elements 1, 30 is hereby produced in the same way as already explained in Figures 1 and 2. As from the totality of Figures 1 - 3 As can be seen, the lighting elements can have different dimensions. For example, standardized lighting elements are provided with dimensions of 90 x 90 cm and 90 x 180 cm or other corresponding ones To provide dimensions. The lighting elements 1, 30 can for example have a depth of 30 - 40 cm. There are but all meaningful and aesthetic, geometric forms possible, since the Lighting elements according to the invention are extremely variable. In an advantageous manner Way are at least the two opposite, large-scale side surfaces covered with the translucent material, so that the described optical effects can be realized, the sound-absorbing effect the lighting elements is ensured and the interior of the lighting elements remains invisible from the outside. For decorative reasons is It makes sense here, although the visible narrow side surfaces completely are provided with the translucent material. In this embodiment In addition, it is particularly advantageous if the entire combination of Illuminating elements provided on all sides with the translucent material is, which should be mounted dust-tight, to prevent the ingress of To avoid dirt particles in the interior of the lighting elements.
