Evenly distributed illumination from radial light producing luminaires and their components

A lighting assembly comprising:

• a. a quasi-point light source having an optical axis;
• b. a conical collimating ring at least partially surrounding said light source and having an imaginary radial projection, the ring constructed and arranged to project collimated rays along a path which is at an angle with respect to the optical axis and which is other than a right angle;
• and
• c. a reflective surface disposed inside the radial projection of the collimating ring to reflect a portion of the rays passing through the collimating ring.

A lighting assembly comprising:

• a. a quasi-point light source;
• b. a ring collimating lens surrounding said source;
• c. at least one light-absorbing baffle ring surrounding said ring lens, the arrangement of the baffle rings allowing light rays projected by the lens to leave at acute radial angles
• said assembly having a central axis;
• said ring being conical, the radial projection axis of which is other than a right angle to the central axis of the assembly;
• and
• said baffle ring arrangement being a stacked series that are canted, planar in section, and parallel to the radial projection axis of the ring lens.
