Abstract
A light emitting arrangement comprising two light emitting elements () arranged along a longitudinal direction of the light emitting arrangement, and at least one light guide () each partly covering the light emitting surface of a first of the light emitting elements and having an entrance surface () arranged to receive incident light from the first light emitting element () and an exit surface () arranged to emit at least a portion of the incident light received by the entrance surface. The light guide is arranged such that the exit surface () is located between the first light emitting element () and a second light emitting element () and is oriented to emit light in the general lighting direction. The light guide will distribute light emitted by the first light emitting element to more than one location, as if it was emitted of several weaker light emitting elements.
