The present invention relates to a luminaire having at least one illuminant (), a luminaire housing (), and at least one operating device (), arranged in the luminaire housing (), for the at least one illuminant (), wherein the operating device () has an antenna () for transmitting and receiving a radio signal, and the luminaire housing () has at least one slot antenna () that is coupled to the antenna () of the operating device () by means of radiation coupling, a waveguide, or a cavity resonator in order to transmit the radio signal to outside the luminaire housing ().

Luminaire having a data transmission function

The invention relates to an operating circuit for at least one LED, said operating circuit being supplied with DC voltage or with rectified alternating voltage and providing a supply voltage for at least one LED by means of a coil (L) and a first switch (S) clocked by a control/regulation unit (SR). When the first switch (S) is activated energy is temporarily stored in the coil (L) and when the first switch (S) is deactivated said energy is discharged via a diode (D) and via at least one LED. The control/regulation unit (SR) activates the first switch (S) when a reactivation condition has been met, and the control/regulation unit (SR) deactivates the first switch (S) when a deactivation condition has been met. Said reactivation condition and/or deactivation condition can be set in accordance with the current dimming level.

Operating circuit for an LED

The invention relates to a digital bus interface for an operating device for a lighting means comprising: a transmitting branch and a receiving branch, wherein the receiving branch has a current source (Q, Q, R, R), which can be fed from a bus that carries voltage in the idle state, wherein the current source supplies at least the transmitting branch with energy and the transmitting branch has an optocoupler (U), wherein an electrical energy store (C) is provided in the receiving branch, which electrical energy store is charged by the current source and discharges via a resistor () in series with the secondary side of the optocoupler (U) of the transmitting branch.
