Publication number: 20140268692Abstract: An indirect troffer. Embodiments of the present invention provide a troffer-style fixture that is particularly well-suited for use with solid state light sources, such as LEDs. The troffer comprises light bars mounted proximate to a back reflector. A back reflector defines a reflective interior surface of the lighting troffer. To facilitate thermal dissipation, the light bar can act as a heat sink. A portion of the heat sink is exposed to the ambient room environment while another portion functions as a mount surface for the light sources that faces the back reflector. One or more light sources disposed along the light bar mount surface emit light into an interior cavity where it can be mixed and/or shaped prior to emission. In some embodiments, one or more lens plates extend from the light bar out to the back reflector.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2013Publication date: September 18, 2014Inventors: Mark Edmond, Dong Lu, Paul Pickard

Publication number: 20140268721Abstract: A linear solid state lighting fixture with asymmetric distribution. The fixture comprises an elongated back reflector along the longitudinal direction of the fixture. At least one light source is arranged to emit toward the back reflector. The source(s) are mounted to a heat sink structure such that at least a portion of light emitted from the source(s) first impinges on the back reflector which redirects at least a portion of the light toward an exit lens. The exit lens interacts with the light as it is emitted from the fixture. Both the shape of the individual fixture elements (e.g., the back reflector and the exit lens) and the arrangement of these elements provide an asymmetrical light output distribution. Various mount mechanisms may be used to attach the fixture to a surface such as a ceiling or a wall, or the fixture may be suspended from a in a pendant configuration.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2013Publication date: September 18, 2014Inventors: John Durkee, Dong Lu, Paul Kenneth Pickard, William Laird Dungan, Gary David Trott
