Troffer-style lighting fixture with specular reflector

A lighting fixture, comprising:

• an elongated heat sink comprising a mount surface;
• an elongated specular reflector proximate to said mount surface, said heat sink and said specular reflector configured such that a spatial relationship is maintained between said heat sink and said specular reflector;
• a back surface proximate to said elongated specular reflector;
• and
• a lens plate extending from said heat sink to said back surface.

A lighting assembly, comprising:

• a protective housing comprising at least one end piece and a back surface;
• an elongated heat sink mounted to said at least one end piece, said heat sink comprising a mount surface;
• an elongated specular reflector on said back surface, such that a spatial relationship is established between said specular reflector and said heat sink;
• at least one light source on said mount surface;
• and
• a control circuit for controlling said at least one light source.

A method of lighting a surface:

• emitting light from a light source over a range of angles;
• redirecting at least a portion of said light with a specular reflector toward a luminous surface;
• receiving light directly from said light source and from said specular reflector at said luminous surface;
• and
• mechanically obscuring images of said light source on said specular reflector from a viewing area.
