Light reflection system with asymmetric reflector assembly

Claim 1

A light reflection system adapted to be mounted on the wall of a room for providing essentially uniform indirect lighting for the room comprising: a housing having front and rear walls, a bottom wall, and side walls, and having an extended opening at its top; a light source disposed in a horizontal orientation, said source being parallel to the rear wall of said housing and closer to the rear wall than to the front wall; an asymetric distribution means in the form of a reflector assembly enclosed by the housing, said assembly including a main reflector wrapped substantially around said light source, said reflector extending longitudinally approximately 250° around said light source from approximately a twelve o'clock position to approximately a four o'clock position, as seen at the left side of said housing when mounted; said main reflector having a reflecting, corrugated, inner surface comprising a series of at least six contiguous facets located adjacent said twelve o'clock position, said facets having appropriately selected varied angles so as to reflect light rays in a generally horizontal direction thereby to provide uniform distribution of light.
