Patent ID: 8002428

Claim:
A lighting apparatus comprising: a housing comprising a base; a plurality of LEDs forming a column oriented in opposed directions ±T; and at least one reflector adjacent to at least one of the LEDs, the at least one reflector having a reflective surface facing the adjacent at least one LED and each reflective surface defining a plane oriented at an angle δ of about 0° to about −20° from perpendicular to the base for reflecting light emitted in the −T direction toward the +T direction, wherein each LED comprising a wide-angle LED including a light-refracting optic lens that distributes a significant portion of the LED light in ±Z direction and at an angle α from nadir of at least about 50°, and wherein the plurality of wide-angle LEDs are oriented on the planar base with the ±Z direction oriented substantially along the ±L direction.
