Reflector System for an Efficient Lighting Fixture

Technology Benefits

Environmentally acceptable Allows wide spread, efficient, and even illumination of interior and exterior space Minimizes the number of light fixtures used to illuminate an interior environment

Technology Application

This reflector system may be used with a lighting fixture to provide an efficient and even distribution of light from small bright light sources.

Detailed Technology Description

The reflector system includes a first reflector surrounding the illumination source, and a second reflector which is non-contiguous with the first reflector and which also surrounds the illumination source. The illumination source creates light rays which are reflected by the first and second reflectors. The first reflector directs light rays toward the center line of the fixture. The reflected light rays from the second reflector being directed so that they diverge from the center line of the fixture avoiding intersection with the semi-transparent envelope.
