  • Patent number: 4390930
    Abstract: A long, linear indirect lighting fixture of a relatively small cross-sectional dimension which is mounted above eye level is comprised of lamps secured within an elongated housing, and a reflector and side lenses which direct and refract the greatest portion of luminous flux from the lamps above the horizontal plane of the fixture, yet a small portion of the luminous flux below but near the horizontal plane. The portion of light directed below but near the horizontal plane, which is controlled by, among other things, the relative placement of the lens and lamps, is great enough for an individual to have a perception of seeing a light source but small enough to avoid discomfort produced by glare.
