ABSTRACT:
An improved fluorescent indirect lighting fixture has its light source concealed from normal view by locating the lamps in a partially wrapped-around region to one side of an offset reflector, which is shaped in a special concave curvature to produce uniform "wall wash" illumination. A producible high quality reflective surface with required curvature maintained by a rigid, accurate reflector assembly is achieved by utilzing a thin flexible reflective lining of high purity aluminum conformally laminated against a rigid extruded aluminum reflector body of required curvature. Two-piece end plates provide lamp socket mountings, integral wiring conduits, reflective inner end surfaces, decorative trim at light-exit window ends and reflector body reinforcement. The complete reflector module including ballasts and a.c. power plug is easily installed, without tools, into a recessed builder's housing, firmly held with no exposed screwheads or other fastenings yet readily removeable for service due to a novel torsion spring retaining system. With the fixture in place, only the reflector surfaces and co-ordinated reflective trim, framing the light-exit window, are presented to normal view. Direct light, extraneous light and lamp images are virtually eliminated.
