Abstract:
A baffle for use in a light fixture that includes one or more light emitter positions includes one or more upper edges, each of the upper edges encircling a light emitting aperture and lying within an upper region. The baffle also includes one or more lower edges that correspond in number with the one or more upper edges, each lower edge lying within a lower region, and encircling an output aperture. Plan view shapes of the upper and lower edges form closed shapes that are devoid of angles. The baffle further includes an interior baffle surface that extends downwardly from each of the upper edges to corresponding ones of the lower edges. The interior baffle surface is continuously and downwardly concave from each of the upper edges to each of the lower edges, and is devoid of angles.

Claim (Index 11):
A method of generating a surface profile for a light fixture baffle, the method comprising:\n defining an upper edge for the light fixture baffle, wherein a plan view shape of the upper edge is a first closed shape that lies within a first region and is devoid of angles, the first closed shape defining a centroid; defining a lower edge for the light fixture baffle, wherein a plan view shape of the lower edge is a second closed shape that is devoid of angles, and lies within a second region; defining a first side profile that is devoid of angles, and connects the upper edge with the lower edge at a first azimuthal angle about the centroid; defining a second side profile that that is devoid of angles, and connects the upper edge with the lower edge at a second azimuthal angle offset from the first azimuthal angle; and interpolating side profiles from the first side profile to the second side profile, along all azimuthal angles between the first azimuthal angle and the second azimuthal angle, so as to form the surface profile, such that the surface profile transitions smoothly from the first side profile at the first azimuthal angle to the second side profile at the second azimuthal angle.
