Transflection reflector having controlled reflected and transmitted light distribution

Claim 1

In combination, a transflection reflector and an ornamental roadway luminaire including an upper body and a lower body, said ornamental roadway luminair including a refractor for said lower body and an acorn-shaped top for said upper body and a light source generally centrally disposed within said lower body refractor, said transflection reflector comprising: a transflection reflector body for simultaneously reflecting and transmitting light rays, said body being formed by a plurality of layers of a polymeric reflective material with adjacent layers having a different index of refraction and having reflected rays at each interface between adjacent ones of said multiple layers; and said transflection reflector body being selectively positioned above the light source and below said acorn-shaped top, said transflection reflector body having a substantially flat upper section for reflecting light rays downwardly into a lower 2/3 portion of said lower body refractor and an upper peaked section disposed above the light source for reflecting light rays downwardly into a lower 1/3 portion of said lower body refractor.
