Claim Text:
1. A light emitting diode (LED) luminaire, comprising: a housing including an upper surface, a sidewall extending away from the upper surface, and an enclosed space defined at least in part by the upper surface and the sidewall; a printed circuit board assembly thermally coupled to the upper surface of the housing external to the enclosed space; a plurality of high brightness (HB) LED emitters thermally coupled to the printed circuit board assembly to form a linear array external to the enclosed space, wherein a protective lens cap is disposed over each HB LED emitter, the protective lens cap being seamless and positioned to have a focal point arranged such that a focal plane of projected image extends away from the luminaire; and a linear reflector assembly, attached to the sidewall of the housing external to the enclosed space and extending away from the upper surface, to concentrate a light generated by the LED emitters over a beam angle formed by the upper surface of the housing and the linear reflector assembly, wherein the plurality of HB LED emitters are placed in parallel close to a conjunction of the linear reflector assembly and the upper surface of the housing to maximize recovery of the light generated by the LED emitters, wherein the luminaire is configured to project a blended, uniform light pattern onto the sidewall or ceiling panel located at least one inch from the linear reflector assembly; and wherein a surface of the linear reflector assembly is approximately parallel to the ceiling panel and the beam angle projected onto the ceiling panel is configured to be greater than 90°.
