Abstract
A light distribution assembly includes a housing having a longitudinal length and having one or more light sources mounted to the housing. The light distribution assembly also includes a coupler section having a body extending from the housing along a longitudinal axis between a light entry end and a light exit end. The light entry end has a major axis extending in a first direction and the light exit end has a major axis extending in a second direction, wherein the coupler section is shaped such that the body is rotated about the longitudinal axis of the coupler section so that first direction is approximately perpendicular relative to the second direction. One or more light pipes are attached to the light exit end of the coupler section.

A light distribution assembly comprising:
- a housing having a longitudinal length and having one or more light sources mounted to the housing;
- a coupler section having a body extending from the housing along a longitudinal axis between a light entry end and a light exit end, the light entry end has a major axis extending in a first direction and the light exit end has a major axis extending in a second direction, wherein the coupler section is shaped such that the body is rotated about the longitudinal axis of the coupler section so that first direction is approximately perpendicular relative to the second direction;
- and
- one or more light pipes attached to the light exit end of the coupler section.
A light distribution assembly comprising:
- a housing having a longitudinal length and having one or more light sources mounted to the housing;
- a coupler section having a body extending from the housing along a longitudinal axis between a light entry end and a light exit end;
- and
- multiple light pipes attached to the light exit end of the coupler section,
- wherein the body of the coupler section is twisted such that the average light pathway to the light pipes is the same irrespective of which light source is emitting light.
A light distribution assembly comprising:
- a coupler section having a body extending along a longitudinal axis between a light entry end and a light exit end,
- the light entry end being configured to receive light from one or more light sources, the light entry end having a major axis extending in a first direction,
- the light exit end being configured to direct light into multiple light pipes, the light exit end having a major axis extending in a second direction,
- wherein the coupler section is shaped such that the body is rotated about the longitudinal axis of the coupler section so that the first direction is approximately perpendicular relative to the second direction.
