According to Siemens Streuscheibe = diffuser. According to Langenscheidt it's a diffusing lens. I really don't know how to deal with the prefix Abschluss- in this context: terminating, termination, terminal?

Peer comment(s):
agree Steffen Walter : IMHO Abschluss in the sense of enclosing/isolating the light, luminaire etc. from the outside
