Abstract: A parabolic reflector with an asymmetrical light distribution is disclosed. The inside surface of the reflector is divided into four quadrants, and two of the four opposing quadrants are coated with a reflective material. The two remaining quadrants are uncoated or specular. With the uncoated quadrants aligned along a longitudinal center line of a narrow area to be lit, the reflector provides an asymmetrical or elliptical light distribution for more efficient lighting of narrow hallways and passageways. The reflector is particularly useful in a warehouse environment.
