A device for shielding outside lights comprising an essentially
cylindrical, transparent shield body with a surface which is provided
with a zigzag-shaped profile in a vertical direction in order to deflect
the radiation from a lighting source incident on the shield body in a
desired direction. Triangular projections of the zigzag-shaped profile in
a first portion are designed and configured in such a way that the
radiation from the lighting source is fully reflected in a desired
direction when passing through the first portion of the shield body and
triangular projections of the zigzag-shaped profile in a second portion
are designed and configured in such a way that the radiation from the
lighting source is diffracted in the desired direction when passing
through the second portion of the shield body.
