Abstract: A lighting array assembly has a plurality of support members facing different directions and on which emitters are mounted. Each support member has an emitter circuit thereon in operative association with at least one emitter and has a lighting center point. The emitters on each support member are positioned together around the lighting center point. The number of emitters mounted on each of the outer surfaces is determined by the light specified in each direction to meet the desired lighting distribution configuration in each direction. A method of configuring an emitter lighting array assembly includes selecting the desired lighting distribution configuration to achieve a desired lighting distribution.

Abstract: A generally transparent globe capable of covering a light fixture and having an opening at one end for introduction of at least part of said light fixture, including a light bulb. The globe includes integral light refracting prisms extending over at least a substantial portion of the inner and outer surfaces of the globe. Preferably to increase the efficiency of the globe, a reflector is integrally formed in the interior of the globe and is positioned above the light bulb. The globe can be formed from upper and lower portions that are permanently adhered together.
