ABSTRACT:
A light-emitting diode (LED) reflector optic comprises a reflector having a plurality of reflecting surfaces. The reflector is associated with at least one optical axis. In one embodiment, each reflecting surface has a linearly projected cross-section. In one embodiment, the LED reflector optic also has at least one LED positioned such that a central light-emitting axis of the at least one LED is angled relative to the at least one optical axis at about 90°. In one embodiment, the about 90° has a tolerance of ±30°. In one embodiment, each reflecting surface has at least one of: a conic or a substantially conic shape. In one embodiment, the at least one LED has a plurality of LEDs, the at least one optical axis has a plurality of optical axes, and each of the plurality of LEDs is angled relative to a respective one of the plurality of optical axes at about 90°. In one embodiment, a plurality of linear extrusion axes is angled relative to each other.
