Abstract

A passive radiation optical system includes a one-piece module having a plurality of individual optical components wherein the one-piece module is radiation-permeable or reflective. The optical components are connected to one another via predetermined breaking points for forming a radiation optical system module. In addition, the one-piece module can be separated to form optical components that include one or more individual optical components. The one-piece module is particularly for use with light emitting diodes. The passive radiation optical system module is suitable for mass production, and because of its modular principle, it enables flexible adaptation to the shape and size of the desired lighting device, such as lighted advertising or safety lighting.
