1. A luminaire, comprising:
- first and second waveguides comprising first and second coupling surfaces, respectively, extending along a length dimension thereof; and
at least one LED element carried by a structural member between the first and second coupling surfaces of the respective first and second waveguides, wherein each coupling surface comprises a first edge and a second edge opposite the first edge, wherein the structural member is disposed adjacent to the second edges of the first and second coupling surfaces, wherein the structural member supports the first and second waveguides, and wherein the structural member comprises optical grade silicone.

Abstract
A luminaire includes at least first and second waveguides. The first waveguide has a first coupling surface extending between a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, and the second waveguide has a second coupling surface extending between a third surface and a fourth surface opposite the third surface. The first and second coupling surfaces define a coupling cavity. The luminaire further includes at least one light source within the coupling cavity.
