Abstract: A lighting unit for indirect illumination of an area. The unit has a reflective surface contoured to direct reflected light rays from a source generally upward at predetermined angles for reflection by a surface above the lighting unit providing a symmetrical lighting pattern over the area to be illuminated. The reflective surface is contoured so as to eliminate glare interference to the area to be illuminated by controlling the angle of emanation of the light rays from the lighting unit.

Abstract: A lighting unit for indirect illumination of an area. The unit has first and second reflective surfaces contoured to direct reflected light rays from a source generally upward at predetermined angles for reflection by a surface above the lighting unit providing a symmetrical substantially uniform intensity of light over the area to be illuminated. The lighting unit may have cut-off baffles for redirecting the light rays away from nearby or adjacent vertical surfaces providing an asymmetrical substantially uniform intensity of light over the area to be illuminated.

Abstract: The lighting fixture is adapted to be secured to the outer periphery of a generally vertically disposed column. The fixture is comprised of at least two housing sections which are coupled together with each housing section having a recess on its inner periphery for embracing a portion of the vertically disposed column. Each housing section has a source of illumination for projecting light upwardly through a transparent portion of the top wall of each housing section.

Abstract: A reflector comprising a pair of mirror-image reflector half-sections is adapted to produce a plurality of different, distinctive and predictable light patterns by utilizing various combinations of reflective surface finishes on the reflective surfaces of the reflector half-sections.
