ABSTRACT:
A luminaire includes a housing defining a cavity with an open end. A double acting reflector system is mounted in the cavity that includes a first reflector of a generally concave configuration. A light source is positioned in the upper portion of the cavity. The first reflector is configured to capture a substantial portion of the light emanating from the light source and reflect it downward. The reflector system also includes a second reflector extending down from a lower rear edge of the first reflector. The second reflector is configured to capture a portion of the light projected from the first reflector and reflect it outwardly and downwardly to help form a rectangular lighting pattern on a planar surface. A transparent, nonprismatic lens is included which is secured to the housing to cover the open end. The housing may include an aperture with a removable plug to provide access to the light source for connection of wires and the like.
