Abstract: A linearly extensible modular luminaire comprised of mounting tracks (100,180) and translationally offset overlapping channels (211,212), with incorporated luminous means, alone or along with hangers (331,332,731) that provide support for cover brackets (431,731) that are attached to light modifying coverings (400,900), and wherein linearly radiated light is distributed directly, or in combination with coverings indirectly or modified, when connected with a source of power and energized. Also, the modular luminaire that is not extensible but otherwise comprised of same components not translationally offset, permitting the construction of a wide variety of luminaires, such as the one in FIG. 11, that incorporates a canopy (150) for mounting over lighting outlet boxes.

Abstract: A luminaire providing indirect light from a tubular lamp-fixture assembly (55) which is mounted on a wall (65) and covered by a shield (25) which reflects light (3,4,7) upwardly toward a spreader (15) which substantially spreads light (2-7) out from a square corner and broadly over a ceiling (75) mounted under. The spreader and the shield both have quarter-cylindrically-shaped middle portions (10,20) over most of their lengths. The spreader has quarter-trumpet-shaped end-portions (14,16). The shield has quarter-bowl-shaped end-portions (24,26). The combination of the shield and the spreader also disperses light (8,9) substantially away from the sides of the luminaire. Both the shield and the spreader are made light-weight, flexible, and durable. A bracket (83) supports the shield away from the wall (65) mounted over, allowing an accenting strip of light (1) to surround the sides and lower edge of the shield. An adjustable bracket assembly (33,43,130) permits the parallel alignment of the shield with the wall.
