ABSTRACT:
A luminaire with signage endcaps includes a luminaire housing and one or more light emitting elements. The housing typically includes a top member and multiple side members extending down from the top member. The top and side members define the interior of the luminaire housing. Light emitting elements are coupled to the housing. These light emitting elements generally emit light downward from the luminaire and can be coupled along the interior of the housing or positioned along an exterior side of one or more of the side members. A stencil or stencil plate can be positioned along or coupled to one or more others side members. The stencil and stencil plate include openings in the shape of alphanumeric symbols and/or ideograms and include within the openings or have positioned adjacent to the openings a translucent member. Ambient light within the interior of the housing illuminates the stencil and translucent member.
