Abstract:
A luminaire that includes a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs), a light diffuser having a planar surface facing the LEDs, and a reflector that surrounds a cavity formed between the light diffuser and the LEDs. Also disclosed is a method of distributing light that involves emitting light towards a light diffuser having a planar surface having a reflective coating, scattering a first portion of the light with the light diffuser, reflecting a second portion of the light with the light diffuser, reflecting the second portion of the light with a first reflective surface back towards the light diffuser, and scattering the second portion of the light with the light diffuser. Further disclosed is another method of distributing light that involves emitting light toward a light diffuser and reflecting a portion of the emitted light toward the light diffuser via a reflector.

Claim (Index 8):
A method of distributing light, the method comprising:\n emitting light from a first light source towards a planar surface of a light diffuser in a first light distribution pattern such that the emitted light is directly incident upon the planar surface; emitting light from a second light source towards the planar surface of the light diffuser in a second light distribution pattern different than the first light distribution pattern such that the emitted light is directly incident upon the planar surface,\n the planar surface having a reflective material coating, such that the emitted light from the first light source and second light source that is directly incident upon the planar surface is directly incident upon the reflective material coating of the planar surface; \n scattering a first portion of the light from the first light source and the second light source with the light diffuser, and reflecting a second portion of the light from the first light source and the second light source with the light diffuser; reflecting the second portion of the light from the first light source and the second light source with a first reflective surface back towards the light diffuser; and scattering the second portion of the light from the first light source and the second light source with the light diffuser.
