the invention although it has been shown as ceiling mounted it could be wall mounted as is the luminaire 118 in wall 118 a of fig1 or an upright 119 mounted in floor 119 a as shown in fig1 furthermore it can be combined with a general light luminaire that may have one or more incandescent lamps as its main source or one or more fluorescent lamps in fig1 a luminaire 121 comprises a fluorescent tube lamp 123 and a led luminaire 125 of the general type previously described built in side by side relationship into a single housing or unit 127 as shown in fig1 and 16 the circuit board 130 may be curved along two axes to provide a bi axial light output or it could be part spherical the led array need not nave the number of diodes indicated and as shown in fig1 for example it may have rows of three four and five diodes in order to provide a more closely planar front face e g to be less conspicuous when the luminaire is ceiling mounted the diodes may be built into facets of an otherwise generally planar support 140 with a curved front lens 142 as shown in fig1 or with an appropriately revised planar or near planar faceted lens 142 a as shown in fig1 in fig2 there is shown diagrammatically a circuit board 50 u2032 carrying a further led array having a central led 62 u2032 and rows of diodes 64 u2033 64 u2032 u2033 66 u2033 66 u2032 u2033 68 u2033 68 u2032 u2033 70 u2033 70 u2032 u2033 having 2 3 4 and 5 diodes per row fig2 23 show the board of fig2 with outer regions.
