Abstract
Gradient optics for even light distribution of LED light sources. In an aspect, an apparatus is provided for uniform distribution of light emitted from a light source. The apparatus includes a panel coupled to receive the light emitted from the light source, and gradient optics disposed on the panel, the gradient optics providing a matching transparency gradient that is aligned with the light source to evenly distribute the emitted light. In another aspect, an apparatus includes means for receiving the light emitted from the light source, and means for providing a matching transparency gradient that is aligned with the light source to evenly distribute the emitted light.

An apparatus, comprising:
- a troffer assembly having a housing configured to provide a substantially even distribution of light from an embedded light source;
- a panel disposed along a bottom portion of the housing;
- and
- gradient optics disposed along the panel and configured to provide a matching transparency gradient aligned with the light source to evenly distribute the light.
A ceiling light, comprising:
- a housing;
- a light source mounted on an inner surface of the housing;
- a panel disposed along a bottom portion of the housing;
- and
- gradient optics disposed on the panel and configured to provide a matching transparency gradient that is aligned with the light source to evenly distribute light.
