ABSTRACT:
Fluorescent lighting apparatus utilizing a single elongated fluorescent tubular light source replaces the multiple fluorescent tubular light sources of conventional or prior art fluorescent lighting apparatus. A substantial savings in energy consumption and cost of replacement fluorescent tubular light source units results. 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 formed of a film base having a silver coating, the mirror surfaces being arranged to direct the reflected light of the single fluorescent tubular light source over a relatively wide area whereby it appears that a greater number of fluorescent tubular light sources are provided.
