Abstract: Lighting systems for emitting light in multiple directions including one or more light emitting devices (LEDs) and a housing configured to receive the one or more LEDs are provided. The one or more LEDs are configured to generate light in a first direction to illuminate a first area proximate to the lighting system. The housing is configured to reflect a portion of the generated light so as to allow a remaining portion of the generated light to pass through the housing in a second direction, different from the first direction, and illuminate a second area proximate to the lighting system. Related methods are also provided herein.
