A scattered photon extraction light fixture comprising: an optic element having a first surface and at least one substantially transparent sidewall extending from the first surface; a light source for emitting short wavelength radiation, the light source disposed at an end of the at least one substantially transparent sidewall opposite the first surface of the optic element and separated from the first surface; a wavelength-conversion material, disposed on the first surface, for receiving and down converting at least some of the short wavelength radiation emitted by the light source and back transferring a portion of the received and down converted radiation; and one or more reflectors positioned opposite the wavelength-conversion material, such that the light source is positioned between the wavelength-conversion material and the reflectors, for reflecting at least some of the radiation extracted from the optic element through the at least one substantially transparent sidewall; wherein the at least one substantially transparent sidewall is connected at one end to the first surface containing the wavelength-conversion material and at another end to the light source, and wherein the substantially transparent sidewall is configured to pass radiation back-transferred from the wavelength-conversion material outside of the optic element, characterized in that: the light fixture includes one or more suspension mechanisms for installation of the light fixture, and the one or more reflectors are positioned above the optic element and the light source. an optic element having a first surface and at least one substantially transparent sidewall extending from the first surface; a light source for emitting short wavelength radiation, the light source disposed at an end of the at least one substantially transparent sidewall opposite the first surface of the optic element and separated from the first surface; a wavelength-conversion material, disposed on the first surface, for receiving and down converting at least some of the short wavelength radiation emitted by the light source and back transferring a portion of the received and down converted radiation; and one or more reflectors positioned opposite the wavelength-conversion material, such that the light source is positioned between the wavelength-conversion material and the reflectors, for reflecting at least some of the radiation extracted from the optic element through the at least one substantially transparent sidewall; wherein the at least one substantially transparent sidewall is connected at one end to the first surface containing the wavelength-conversion material and at another end to the light source, and wherein the substantially transparent sidewall is configured to pass radiation back-transferred from the wavelength-conversion material outside of the optic element, characterized in that: the light fixture includes one or more suspension mechanisms for installation of the light fixture, and the one or more reflectors are positioned above the optic element and the light source. the light fixture includes one or more suspension mechanisms for installation of the light fixture, and the one or more reflectors are positioned above the optic element and the light source.
