ABSTRACT:
Fluorescent lighting apparatus utilizing a single elongated tubular light source replaces the multiple fluorescent tubular light sources of conventional or prior art fluorescent lighting apparatus. A substantial part of the light output of the fluorescent tubular light source is reflected by an improved reflector construction having multiple elongated strip-like mirror surfaces. A simplied, less expensive, more efficient apparatus is disclosed wherein the improved reflector forms the principal part of the apparatus and is provided with a compact raceway for the current carrying wires along with a remotely situated ballast in a compact enclosure which facilitates the adaptation of the improved apparatus to surface mounting on ceilings as well as recessed mounting of the fluorescent apparatus in suspended ceilings and the like.
