Interior lighting fixture

An interior lighting fixture comprising:

• an elongated housing;
• an elongated generally horizontally-extending light source supported by said housing;
• a first and a second generally horizontally-extending elongated reflector assemblies, each of said elongated reflector assemblies comprising a coextrusion of a generally transparent material and a generally non-transparent material, a top reflective surface disposed along said generally transparent material, said non-transparent material defining a bottom light-emitting surface, and an edge surface disposed along said generally transparent material between said top reflective surface and said bottom light-emitting surface, each of said edge surfaces being disposed along opposite longitudinal portions of said light source, and a portion of light from the light source being transmittable through said edge surfaces, said generally transparent material and diffuseably emittable from said bottom light-emitting surfaces;
• a plurality of space-apart louvers extending below said light source and between said first and second reflector assemblies;
• and
• wherein said reflector assemblies are sized and disposed below said housing so that when said interior lighting fixture is viewed from below at an angle, said housing is substantially obscured by said bottom light-emitting surfaces.

A method of illuminating a room comprising:

• providing a housing;
• providing a light source in the housing;
• providing a reflector assembly disposed generally below the housing, the reflector assembly comprising a coextrusion of a generally transparent material and a generally non-transparent material, a top reflective surface disposed along said generally transparent material, said non-transparent material defining a bottom light-emitting surface spaced-apart from said top reflective surface;
• and
• transmitting a portion of light from the light source through said generally transparent material between the top reflective surface and the bottom light-emitting surface and diffuseably emitting the portion of light from the bottom light-emitting surface so that when the housing, the light source, and the reflector assembly which define an interior lighting fixture is viewed from below at an angle, the housing is substantially obscured by the bottom light-emitting surface.
