An integral multilayer optical construction includes opposing first and second structured major surfaces having two-dimensional arrays of respective first and second structures. An optical diffuser is embedded within the optical construction between the first and second structured major surfaces. The optical diffuser has an optical haze of greater than about 5% for at least one visible wavelength in a visible wavelength range extending from about 420 nm to 680 nm. When the optical construction is disposed on a light source with one of the first and second structured major surfaces facing the light source, light emitted by the light source is transmitted by the optical construction with a cross-section of an angular luminous distribution of the transmitted light in at least one first plane that includes a normal to the optical construction, including first and second intensity peaks at respective first and second angles on opposite sides of the normal.
