ABSTRACT:
A luminaire of the indirect lighting type includes an indirect light fixture amplification reflector system consisting of plural opposed compound asymmetric reflectors mounted on a common longitudinal axis and used in combination with each other to produce a uniformly enlarged singular light distribution pattern when directed towards a secondary reflective surface such as the ceiling of an interior room cavity. The reflector functions to distribute the light pattern in a primarily outward rather than upward manner thereby reducing the number of luminaries required for efficient illumination. The reflector shape prevents direct exposure of the lamp source to the secondary surface thereby decreasing the mounting distance required between the luminaire and the secondary surface being illuminated, as well as providing for a more even illumination and the widest possible spacing ratio between luminaries. The reflector system may be housed in a reflector enclosure which functions as a secondary diffuse reflector on both its interior and exterior surfaces.
