Claim:
A wall-wash light system for providing substantially uniform illumination of a wall, said wall-wash light system comprising: a light source including an internal reflector for emitting light; an arcuate kick reflector having an arcuate opening, said arcuate kick reflector constructed and mounted to reflect the light emitted form said light source and direct the light emitted from said light source toward the wall; a mounting for said light source, said mounting constructed and mounted to position said light source near the plane of a ceiling or a floor adjoining the wall and to direct the light emitted form said light source at an acute angle to a plane perpendicular to the plane of the ceiling or of the floor, said mounting being further constructed and mounted to direct said emitted light from said light source away from the wall and toward said kick reflector; whereby the combination of the said mounting for said light source and the reflection of said emitted light form said light source back to the wall by said arcuate kick reflector provides substantially uniform illumination of the wall.
