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.

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.

Abstract: An alternative lighting system luminaire to conventional fluorescent light fixtures includes an angled mounting bracket with a plurality of fluorescent lamps to provide both greater illumination of a linearly extending visual display aisle. The obliquely placed lamps are secured and powered by sockets fastened to the angled mounting bracket which is mounted to the ballasts of the fixture. Ballasts are located in the area between the reflector and the top of the fixture. The light emitted ends of the fixture are angled downward to illuminate areas not immediately below the lighting fixture itself.

Abstract: An alternative lighting system luminaire to conventional high intensity discharge light fixtures such as mercury vapor, metal halide, high pressure sodium lighting fixtures includes a highly polished reflector made of silver film or highly polished aluminum with a plurality of fluorescent biax lamps to provide both greater lumen production per watt and retain a greater percentage of it's lumen output over the fixtures life. This system allows one for one fixture replacement when substituted for 400-watt metal halide, 400 watt high pressure sodium, and 400-1000 watt mercury vapor high intensity discharge lighting fixtures in design or replacement applications. The luminaire utilizes very high efficiency "Dulux L" high lumen compact fluorescent lamps, which are each shaped like a single inverted "U" and are a minimum of 16 inches long. The lamps extend parallel to the face lens of the fixture and can number from one to eight in quantity.
