DESC:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present disclosure relates to lighting apparatuses and more particularly, relates to an improved lighting structure for providing glare-less illumination.
BACKGROUND
Generally, lighting apparatus, such as a ceiling light, includes a light diffuser and a plurality of light sources adapted to emit light. In such lighting apparatus, it is essential to optimally position and orient the plurality of light sources within a housing of the lighting apparatus to achieve effective illumination. Currently, various lighting apparatuses are employed with different arrangements of the plurality of light sources to achieve optimal and glare-less illumination. However, such lighting apparatuses include the plurality of light sources acting as both main light sources and indirect light sources. Owing to such a combination of the main light sources and the indirect light sources, the lighting apparatuses fail to achieve glare-less illumination in a target area to be illuminated. Further, in order to accommodate both the main light sources and the indirect light sources, a housing structure of such lighting apparatuses is substantially complex and consists of a large number of sub-components. This substantially increases the overall manufacturing cost associated with the lighting apparatus. Further, owing to the large number of sub-components, the assembling process of the housing structure is substantially cumbersome. Therefore, there is a need for an improved lighting structure for the lighting apparatus.

Owing to edge-to-edge contact between the plurality of diffusers 406, the plurality of light sources 408 may be completely covered by the plurality of diffusers 406. This substantially eliminates gaps between the plurality of diffusers 406 and thereby, eliminating direct exposure of light rays from the plurality of light sources 408.
Figure 6 illustrates a cross-sectional view of a lighting structure 602, according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. For the sake of brevity, details of the present disclosure that are explained in detail in the description of Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3, Figure 4, and Figure 5 are not explained in detail in the description of Figure 6. It should be noted that the improved lighting structure 102 explained with respect to Figures 1-5 may be implemented as a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure. Further, the lighting structure 602 as explained with respect to the Figure 6 may be implemented as an alternative embodiment of the present disclosure.
Similar to the lighting structure 102 as explained with respect to Figures 1-5, the lighting structure 602 of the illustrated embodiment includes the base member 202, the plurality of walls 204, and the plurality of connectors 206. In the illustrated embodiment, referring to Figure 6, the third supporting wall 509 of each of the plurality of walls members 204 may include an inclined portion 604 and a horizontal portion 606 having the second connector guide 514. Further, the first guiding portion 516 may include a first slot 608 formed on the second supporting wall 508 and a second slot 610 formed on the horizontal portion 606 of the third supporting wall 509.

As would be gathered, the present disclosure offers the improved lighting structure 102 for the lighting apparatus 100. The improved lighting structure 102 may include the plurality of wall member 204 having similar contour/shape and adapted to be removably coupled to each other. Owing to the similar shape and constructional aspects of the plurality of walls 204, overall cost involved in manufacturing of the improved lighting structure 102 may be substantially reduced. The improved lighting structure 102 can be assembled by removably attaching the plurality of wall member 204 and the base member 202 with each other. Owing to such a constructional aspect, a number of sub-components employed in the lighting structure 102 may be substantially reduced compared to conventional lighting structures.
As mentioned earlier, each of the plurality of walls 204 may include the first guiding portion 516 to support at least one light diffuser 406 at the first predefined angle ?1 and the second guiding portion 518 to support at least one light source 408 at the second predefined angle ?2 with respect to the base member 202. Therefore, the plurality of light sources 408 can be disposed on each of the plurality of walls 204 surrounding the base member 202. This substantially enhances overall illumination from the lighting apparatus 100. Further, owing to such orientation of the plurality of light sources 408 and the plurality of light diffusers 406, the light rays emitted from the plurality of light sources 408 may be indirectly projected in an area below the base member 202 of the lighting structure 102. This substantially eliminates direct visible contact of a user with the plurality of light sources 408 and thereby, reducing overall light glare from the lighting apparatus 100. Further, implementation of the improved lighting structure 102 substantially eliminates the use of various fasteners, such as screws, for assembling different sub-components of the lighting structure 102. Therefore, the improved lighting structure 102 of the present disclosure is flexible in implementation, less complex, convenient, and cost-effective.
