Abstract
A lighting system comprising a reflector and an arc lamp designed for illuminating a wide area with an even light distribution. The reflector has a cap portion integrally joined to a visor portion. The cap portion is generally parabolic in shape except perhaps at its center. The visor flares outwardly at a low angle and is about three to six inches long, dropping approximately one-half inch so that it is no higher than the bottom of the arc tube of the lamp. The arc lamp is preferably a high intensity sodium or mercury vapor lamp with a vertical arc tube mounted so that about one-half inch of arc tube extends below the juncture of the visor and the cap.
