Abstract:
A lighting system for a ceiling grid system may provide lighting at a location below the ceiling grid system. The light fixture includes a light source and a support member, and the light fixture may provide diffusely reflected light to a ceiling grid opening. The light fixture may include a wall assembly that is adapted to be moved between a folded configuration and an unfolded configuration.
Abstract:
A luminaire includes a housing, light-emitting diodes and a light guide. A lateral direction from a top side to a bottom side of the housing is a preferred direction. A front side of the housing forms an aperture. The light guide substantially spans the aperture. In operation, the LEDs emit light toward the preferred direction, which light enters a light coupling surface of the light guide, where it propagates and is substantially retained by total internal reflection. The light guide includes light extraction features to redirect a portion of the light out of total internal reflection, so that some of the light exits the housing through the aperture. The light extraction features redirect some of the light so that more of the light exits the aperture between a normal direction of the light guide and the preferred direction, than between the normal direction and the non-preferred direction.
Abstract:
A light fixture having a light engine with at least one light source and a shade formed of a light transmissive, pliable material adapted to diffuse light emitted from the at least one light source outwardly from the light fixture. In some embodiments, the light transmissive, pliable material is a fabric material.
Abstract:
A dual output downlight luminaire includes a housing that forms at least a first cavity. A partition extends from a portion of the housing and at least partially forms a boundary between the first cavity and an annular second cavity. A first light source emits a first light that is centered about an optical axis and propagates toward a first output aperture. An optic redirects the first light to form a first light beam that exits the luminaire through the first output aperture. A concentrated portion of the first light beam subtends an angle of 60 degrees or less and is centered about the optical axis. A plurality of second light sources, within the second cavity, emit a second light that exits the luminaire through an annular second output aperture. The first and second light sources are independently controllable with respect to each other.
Abstract:
A light fixture may include a light source and an optical element, such as a light transmissive waveguide and/or a diffuser, having a surface forming a light output surface of the light fixture. The optical element is located to receive light from the source and is configured to supply the light for illumination, via the output surface. In an example of the fixture having a waveguide, the source is coupled to supply light to at least one of the lateral surfaces of the waveguide. At least the output surface of the optical element has a three-dimensional compound curvature and a perimeter that includes two or more edges connected at vertices.
Abstract:
A light fixture example includes a housing, a light source in the housing and a diffuser. The diffuser is supported by the housing at a distance from the source so as to receive light from the source and diffuse the light for illumination. The diffuser has a three-dimensional compound curvature and a perimeter with at least two edges connected at vertices. Each such edge is a two-dimensional plane curve. The at least two edges are not coplanar with each other. In some examples, a back panel of the housing may have a similar three-dimensional compound curvature and perimeter.

Abstract:
A light fixture includes an optics assembly, a frame assembly, a reflector, and a diffuser. The optics assembly includes at least one light source for emitting light in a first direction. The diffuser is formed from a pliable material. The frame assembly is adapted to support the reflector and the diffuser relative to the optics assembly such that the reflector reflects light emitted by the at least one light source toward the diffuser.
Abstract:
A composite light source includes a plurality of illumination panels, that emit light of a fixed color and a variable luminous intensity. Over time, the luminous intensities of at least two of the illumination panels vary, while a combined luminous intensity of the illumination panels remains about constant. Another composite light source includes a plurality of illumination panels that emit light. Each illumination panel of at least a first subset of the plurality of illumination panels emits the light with a first luminous intensity, and each illumination panel of at least a second subset of the plurality of illumination panels emits the light with a second luminous intensity that is different from the first luminous intensity.
