Abstract
Direct/indirect lighting fixtures particularly intended for recessed applications of fluorescent lighting as wall sconces or the like, the lighting fixtures of the invention combine the efficient lighting capabilities of parabolic fluorescent lighting with the aesthetic appeal of indirect lighting to produce a visually appealing effect. The luminaires of the invention combine an arcuate reflector with an illumination source mounted near one end of the reflector with an arcuate diffuser disposed over the illumination source. Both direct and indirect light thus emanates from the luminaire. The diffuser is mounted within the luminaire to mechanical light trap elements located at either end of the diffuser, the light trap elements serving the dual purposes of minimizing light leakage and mounting the diffuser. In one embodiment of the invention, the light trap elements are integrally formed with the reflector by injection molding of a polymeric material.
