Luminaire with luminous element

A luminaire comprising:

• a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs);
• a light guide comprising a first edge and a second edge opposite the first edge, the light guide being arranged to receive light from the plurality of LEDs at the first edge during operation of the luminaire and guide the light to the second edge, and output the light at the second edge according to a first far-field light distribution;
• and
• an optical element spaced from the light guide, the optical element being arranged to output light at a luminous surface according to a second far-field light distribution,
• wherein the luminous surface has an area larger than an area of the second edge of the light guide and the first and the second far-field light distributions at least in part overlap.

A luminaire comprising:

• a primary light source;
• an optical system with an elongate output aperture;
• and
• a luminous areal element (LAE);
• wherein the primary light source is optically coupled with the optical system, and the optical system is configured to receive light from the primary light source and output light from the output aperture having a first light distribution;
• and
• wherein the LAE extends along the output aperture and is configured to provide light having a second light distribution, wherein the first and second light distributions at least in part overlap.

A luminaire comprising:

• a primary light source;
• an optical system with an output aperture, the optical system coupled with the primary light source to receive light from the primary light source and output light from the output aperture having a first light distribution;
• and
• a luminous areal element (LAE) including a secondary light source separate from the primary light source, wherein the LAE is configured to provide light having a second light distribution, and
• wherein the first and second light distributions at least in part overlap.
