摘要： Lighting fixture having housing with an open side. A lamp is mounted in the housing and produces rays which pass through the open side. The housing carries an internal reflecting surface for reflecting light rays from the lamp through the open side. The internal reflecting surface includes Fresnel type portions for reflecting light rays from the lamp at high angles through the open side. In certain applications, the open side would be enclosed by a glass enclosure. In order to increase the efficiency of the lighting fixture, an anti-reflection coating can be provided on both sides of the glass enclosure.

摘要： Luminaires equipped with an improved high efficiency, wide light distribution lighting panel provide more favorable ESI values and may be spaced farther apart than conventional ones. The lighting panel includes three bands of conical prismatic elements; these bands are spaced on 5-inch centers from each other and are separated by substantially transparent bands having shallow 15.degree. flutes to soften the lamp images. Outside the bands of conical prisms are bands of lengthwise elevating prisms for increasing the spread of light to the sides of the fixture. Outside the elevating bands are bands of lengthwise depressing prisms. A single panel design provides similar excellent optical characteristics for either a two-lamp or three-lamp troffer.

摘要： A portable traffic signal photometer is capable of rapidly and effectively measuring the intensity of light emanating from a traffic signal light. The photometer includes a housing member with a circular front opening for engagement with the lens of a traffic signal light. The photometer is pressed against the lens, and the light emanating from the traffic signal light is directed through an optical filter located inside the housing, which permits light from the traffic signal light emanating at a predetermined downward angle to pass through it. The light from the filter is directed onto a light-sensitive device, which produces an output signal proportional to the intensity of the light emitted by the traffic signal lens. Additional light-responsive photocells are provided to produce signals indicative of the respective color of the traffic signal light being measured by the photometer, and the composite of the color and the light intensity is used to produce a display which permits the user to determine whether the traffic signal light is properly operating within its designed specifications.

摘要： A refractive lens member for use with a luminaire is constructed to minimize high angle glare. The grid comprises a plurality of lenses which are interconnected by a rib structure to form a pattern of lenses in a network grid, with the lenses all lying substantially in the same plane. Each individual lens has a flat circular light incident surface and each lens has a substantially convex, spherical section light emergent surface. The rib structure is made of the same material as the lenses and may be integrally formed with the lenses to form the network grid. The rib structure is constructed to cooperate with the lenses to which prevent light at angles outside a pre-established range arrives on the light incident side surfaces from exiting from the light emergent surfaces of said lenses.

摘要： A lighting fixture and method using multiple reflections having a housing with an open side. A lamp is mounted in the housing and produces rays of light which pass through the open side. First and second reflecting surfaces are carried by the housing for reflecting light. The first and second reflecting surfaces are positioned on opposite sides of the lamp so that direct rays from the lamp will strike the first reflecting surface and be reflected onto the second reflecting surface and then will be reflected through the open side of the housing at a high angle with respect to the angle of the original direct rays from the lamp.

摘要： A lighting unit comprising a lamp and a reflector provides high intensity, high efficiency, even illumination over an area of particular shape and size and has a cut-off angle which enables a person to approach close to the lighting unit without seeing the lamp or its reflection. The reflector comprises at least two spaced apart curved reflector surfaces which join each other along an edge line in a plane behind and spaced from the lamp. Points on the curve line of each reflector surface are spaced progressively further away from the lamp than the edge line. Some points on the curve are located on the side of the plane remote from the lamp. The lighting unit, which may employ reflector surfaces in addition to those above mentioned, may be employed in systems wherein it projects light upwardly for downward reflection from a ceiling or projects light downwardly directly onto a work surface. The lighting units located in some systems are so that the reflector opening is near eye level of a standing or sitting person.

摘要： A luminaire for use with HID lightbulbs includes a housing having four primary identical compound curve reflector sections oriented with two sections on each side of the lamp to cause major projections of the light emanating from the luminaire diagonally of the longitudinal axis of the lamp in a horizontal plane to create a square or rectangular distribution of light on the surface to be illuminated. Auxiliary reflector sections are placed at the ends of the light bulb and interconnect the main reflector sections to create an increase in the light projected along the lamp axis to compensate for the reduction in inherent lamp intensity along its axis.

摘要： An indirect multiple bulb fluorescent light fixture has an elongated rectangular housing with inverted V-shaped reflector members located beneath each of the bulbs and with an additional inverted V-shaped reflector member located between each pair of bulbs in the fixture. All of the interior surfaces of the fixture, including the side walls of the rectangular housing for the fixture, have specular surfaces. The angles of the V-shaped reflector members are selected to cause substantially all of the light emanating from the bulbs to be reflected out of the fixture and to minimize light reflected back into the bulbs for dispersing the light emanating from the fixture uniformly on the ceiling above the fixture without requiring translucent covers or other diffusers. This results in a significantly improved efficiency of the fixture over conventional fixtures which rely upon translucent covers to effect the desired light dispersion.
