Abstract: A lighting fixture includes a housing with a first end and a second end. The lighting fixture further includes a first plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) configured to illuminate a main lens of the housing between the first end and the second end. The lighting fixture further includes an end cap disposed at the first end. The end cap includes an end cap lens and a second plurality of LEDs configured to illuminate the end cap lens independently from the first plurality of LEDs. The end cap further includes a wall configured to substantially prevent light emitted from the second plurality of LEDs from being emitted through the main lens of the housing.

Abstract: The present invention provides for a linear lighting apparatus. The apparatus includes a plurality of light emitting diodes, a primary optical assembly, and a secondary optical assembly. The light emitting diodes produce light towards the primary optical assembly. The primary optical assembly refracts this light towards the secondary optical assembly. The secondary optical assembly receives this light and refracts the light again so that the light emanates from the linear lighting apparatus. The present invention also provides a method for improving lighting efficiency from a linear lighting apparatus. The method includes emitting light from a plurality of light emitting diodes, refracting the light in a primary optical assembly, receiving this light refracted by the primary optical assembly, and refracting this light in a secondary optical assembly so as to direct the light from the apparatus.

Abstract: The present invention provides a linear lighting apparatus with improved heat dissipation and a method for improving the heat dissipation in a linear lighting apparatus. The apparatus includes a plurality of light emitting diodes, a plurality of primary optical assemblies and an apparatus housing. The primary optical assemblies are each in contact with one of the plurality of light emitting diodes. The primary optical assemblies and a second optical assembly are configured to refract the light so as to create a linear light source emanating from the apparatus. The apparatus housing is configured to dissipate thermal energy from the light emitting diodes.
