The light pattern produced by the lighting fixture has a substantially uniform lateral illumination at a given radial distance from the center of the lens. The lighting fixture also provides a high level of directional illumination in the vertical direction when mounted to a ceiling. The lighting fixture can be surface or recess mounted. The lighting fixture can comprise a tee electrical conduit to allow through feed wiring from one fixture to another fixture. The lighting fixture is particularly suitable for use in conventional walk-in coolers and freezers used in supermarkets.
