Modular waveguides and fixtures utilizing same

A troffer-style luminaire, comprising:

• a troffer housing defining an interior recess and having a top panel, a first side panel, and a second side panel where the second side panel is opposed to the first side panel, the troffer housing being configured to be mounted in a ceiling, wherein the top panel defines a reflective surface;
• a first plurality of LEDs extending along at least a portion of the first side panel;
• a second plurality of LEDs extending along at least a portion of the second side panel;
• at least one first waveguide receiving light from the first plurality of LEDs, the at least one first waveguide extending from the first side panel such that the at least one first waveguide extends substantially horizontally below the top panel when the troffer housing is mounted in the ceiling;
• and
• at least one second waveguide receiving light from the second plurality of LEDs, the at least one second waveguide extending from the second side panel such that the at least one second waveguide extends substantially horizontally below the top panel when the troffer housing is mounted in the ceiling, wherein the at least one first waveguide and the at least one second waveguide are spaced from the reflective surface to define a space therebetween.

• a troffer housing defining an interior recess having a first side and a second side where the second side is opposed to the first side, the troffer housing being configured to be mounted in a ceiling, wherein the troffer housing defines a reflective surface;
• a plurality of first waveguides arranged in a side-by-side manner extending from the first side such that the plurality of first waveguides extend substantially horizontally when the troffer housing is mounted in the ceiling;
• a plurality of second waveguides arranged in a side-by-side manner extending from the second side such that the plurality of second waveguides extend substantially horizontally when the troffer housing is mounted in the ceiling, wherein the plurality of first waveguides and the plurality of second waveguides are spaced from one another to define a space therebetween and at least a portion of light emitted by the plurality of first waveguides and the plurality of second waveguides is reflected off of the reflective surface;
• and
• a plurality of first LEDs optically coupled to the plurality of first waveguides and a plurality of second LEDs optically coupled to the plurality of second waveguides.
