Luminaires
The international lighting technology manual defines a luminaire as a "device that serves for the distribution, filtering or transformation of the light of lamps, including necessary components for fixing, protection and energy supply of lamps."
A luminaire is defined as a device used to distribute, filter or transform the light from a lamp or lamps, including the components needed to hold and protect the lamp(s) and supply them with power. Distinctions between luminaires can be made on the basis of the type of lamp (luminaires for incandescent lamps, luminaires for fluorescent lamps or luminaires for discharge lamps), the number of lamps (one or more), the location (indoors, outdoors), the type of protection (luminaires for dry, humid or dusty rooms), the type of construction (open luminaires, closed luminaires, reflector luminaires, specular luminaires, louvered luminaires, troffer luminaires, spotlight luminaires), the type of installation (wall-mounted, ceiling-mounted, pendant or hand-held) and the purpose (special purpose luminaires, decorative luminaires and special-effect luminaires).
