Light leak shield for inserting into a linear luminaire including a light inset inserted in a linear channel

Abstract

A linear luminaire includes a linear channel defining an interior space. The linear channel includes a first linear channel section and a second linear channel section in line with each other. A longitudinal end of the first linear channel section abuts a longitudinal end of the second linear channel section at a junction. Each of the first linear channel section and the second linear channel section includes a channel base wall, a first channel side wall and a second channel side wall. The first channel side wall and the second channel side wall extend away from the base wall and define an interior space therebetween. Free ends of the first and second side walls define an inlet opening of the respective first linear channel section or second linear channel section. The linear luminaire further includes at least one linear light inset including a light source and configured for being inserted into an inserted orientation in the interior spaces of the first linear channel section and the second linear channel section via the inlet openings. The linear luminaire also includes a light leak shield configured for being installed into an installed orientation in the linear channel to block light from the light source from escaping through the junction at a first lateral side of the linear channel, the light leak shield being insertable through the openings of the first linear channel section and the second linear channel section into a first space between the first channel side wall of the first linear channel section and the at least one linear light inset, and between the first channel side wall of the second linear channel section and the at least one linear light inset.
