Abstract
Disclosed herein are lighting apparatuses that have a centered light source and at least one off-center light source. According to certain embodiments, a lighting apparatus includes a first light fixture having a first light source arranged at a first position that is centered with respect to a first optical axis of a first optic, and a second light source arranged at a second position that is off-center with respect to the first optical axis of the first optic. The first optic is configured to receive light emitted by the first light source and the second light source.

A lighting apparatus comprising:
- a first light fixture comprising:
- a plurality of light sources, the plurality of light sources comprising:
- a first light source arranged at a first position that is centered with respect to a central optical axis of a first optic;
- a second light source arranged at a second position that is off-center with respect to the central optical axis of the first optic, and
- a third light source arranged at a third position that is off-center with respect to the central optical axis of the first optic, wherein:
- the first optic is configured to receive light emitted by the first light source, the second light source, and the third light source;
- the first light source and the second light source are arranged along a first linear direction;
- the first light source and the third light source are arranged along a second linear direction that is orthogonal to the first linear direction;
- and
- the plurality of light sources are asymmetrically arranged about the first linear direction and the second linear direction;
- a second light fixture comprising:
- a fourth light source arranged at a fourth position that is centered with respect to a central optical axis of a second optic;
- and
- a fifth light source arranged at a fifth position that is off-center with respect to the central optical axis of the second optic, wherein the second optic is configured to receive light emitted by the fourth light source and the fifth light source, wherein the first light fixture and the second light fixture comprise different layouts of light sources relative to one another.
