  • Patent number: 10156344
    Abstract: The invention includes a drop lens that is generally rectangular-shaped and fits over a housing of a light fixture. The drop lens may include two side portions that attaches to and/or engages with the side panels of the housing. The drop lens includes an inner lens that extends between each of the side portions of the drop lens. The inner lens may be preferably constructed of a flexible plastic material so that it can be flexed and bent to engage the side portions of the drop lens. The inner lens disperses the light from the light source, thereby creating a uniform and consistent luminance on the bottom, sides, and ends of the drop lens. Additionally, the invention may include an upper lens that extends between and is slidably engaged with each of the side panels of the housing. The upper lens slides within the housing to hide the light source through a gap or seam between a first drop lens section and the second drop lens section.
