Abstract
A light fixture or troffer for directing light emitted from a light source toward an area to be illuminated, including a reflector assembly within which the light source is positioned, a lens assembly detachably secured to a portion of the reflector assembly such that a lens of the lens assembly overlies a portion of the light source, and a plurality of end caps secured to a housing of the light fixture and overlying a portion of the light source such that substantially all of the light emitted from the light source passes through the lens assembly and the end caps.
Claims40
A light fixture, comprising:
- a reflector assembly comprising a longitudinally extending hollow extending inwardly to a central portion between the respective first and second hollow edges,
- a linear light source configured for mounting therein a portion of the central portion of the reflector assembly;
- a lens assembly configured for mounting to a portion of the central portion of the reflector assembly, wherein the lens assembly overlies at least a portion of the linear light source;
- and
- a plurality of end caps configured for overlying a portion of the linear light source,
- wherein the lens assembly and the plurality of end caps are configured such that substantially all of the light emitted by the light source passes therethrough the lens assembly and the plurality of end caps, and wherein the lens assembly controls high angle glare in the longitudinal direction optically.
A light fixture for mounting in a ceiling, comprising:
- a reflector assembly comprising a longitudinally extending hollow extending inwardly to a central portion between the respective first and second hollow edges,
- a linear light source configured for mounting therein a portion of the central portion of the reflector assembly;
- and
- a plurality of end caps configured for overlying a portion of the linear light source,
- wherein the plurality of end caps are configured such that at least a portion of the light emitted by the light source passes through the plurality of end caps.
A light fixture for mounting in a ceiling, comprising:
- a reflector assembly extending along a longitudinal axis,
- a linear light source having at least one end and being configured for mounting within a portion of the reflector assembly;
- and
- a plurality of end caps configured for overlying a portion of the linear light source, each end cap defining an opening configured to receive at least a portion of the at least one end of the linear light source therein, each end cap further comprising a first face that is positioned at a first obtuse angle with respect to the longitudinal axis.
