  • Patent number: 7594736
    Abstract: A fluorescent light fixture with light transmissive windows aimed to provide controlled illumination above the mounted lighting fixture includes a housing having an elongated horizontal top surface with side edges and edges at opposite ends of the top surface. Oblique walls extend from the side edges of the top surface, and flare downwardly and outwardly from the side edges. First and second end walls extend downwardly from opposite ends of the top surface, the oblique walls and end walls joining to form a downwardly facing opening in the housing. Fluorescent light bulbs are mounted parallel to each other in the housing, so that light from selected light bulbs is reflected generally downwardly. The oblique walls include a plurality of spaced windows configured to direct a controlled portion of light from one or more light bulbs in a generally upward direction to provide indirect lighting.

  • Patent number: 7500762
    Abstract: A fluorescent light fixture is suspended by a longitudinally extending trapezoidal pendant bracket/stabilizer. The trapezoidal pendant bracket/stabilizer includes a horizontally extending top brace and a pair of obliquely extending arms extending downward in opposite directions from the top brace in a trapezoidal crossection. Each obliquely extending arm has a flat, horizontally and outwardly extending attachment foot extending longitudinally along a flat top surface of the fluorescent lamp fixture, wherein each attachment foot is attached to the flat top surface of the fluorescent lamp fixture. The horizontally extending top brace is attachable to a ceiling mounted fastener, such as a toggle hanger or other downwardly extending fastener.

  • Patent number: 7070303
    Abstract: A fluorescent light fixture includes a housing having an elongated horizontal top surface with side edges and edges at opposite ends of the top surface. Oblique walls extend from the side edges of the top surface, and flare downwardly and outwardly from the side edges. The end walls extend downwardly from the top surface, the oblique and end walls joining to form a downwardly facing opening in the housing. A plurality of generally downwardly facing reflectors within the housing extend the length thereof. Fluorescent light bulbs are mounted parallel to each other in the housing beneath the reflectors, so that light from the light bulbs reaching the reflectors is reflected generally downwardly. The oblique walls and an end reflector are configured to direct a portion of light from one or more light bulbs under each end reflector in a generally upwardly direction to provide indirect lighting.
