Abstract

See full text

A light distribution device includes a light transmissive substrate having first and second opposing faces and a plurality of substantially parallel linear prisms on the second face that extend in a longitudinal direction of the substrate. The light distribution device is configured to connect to a light assembly including a linear light source with the first face of the substrate facing the light source, with the linear prisms substantially parallel to a light source longitudinal axis and with and the substrate having a non-planar cross-sectional shape such that at least a major portion of the substrate is concave relative to the light source. When connected, the light distribution device is configured to receive light from the light source and distribute the light emerging from the second face of the substrate in a batwing distribution pattern in a plane perpendicular to the light source longitudinal axis.
