LED cove lighting for exterior fascia
First Claim
1. What is claimed is a lighting fixture adapted to illuminate a panel, comprising:
- a. a lamp housing with support brackets and splices, b. a reflector affixed to the housing, providing a planar surface oblique to the fascia aiming the light at the center of the panel, having a plurality of surfaces to direct the light to the panel, and providing heat sink properties for the LEDs, c. LED devices mounted within the reflector, d. LED sources having a wide viewing angle to provide even illumination and monochromatic light of a wavelength closely matching the color of the fascia panel, e. LED sources being conformable coated to allow for exterior service, f and modular assemblies based on the LED spacing, with weatherproof connectors and a plurality of power sources.

Abstract
This invention is a lighting fixture to project even illumination onto flat panels. The fixture is a formed specular aluminum reflector with LEDs mounted to provide even and directed light, with modular connectors and power sources, allowing for variable lengths when combined with field adjustable housings and supports; or when mounted in a fixed length housing, to allow for linear lighting using any number of selectable lengths. This invention provides a pre-determined and directed light pattern requiring no field adjustment. The use of long life, weather resistant light emitting diodes provides for low maintenance and low energy consumption. The use of specular aluminum allows up to 95% of the light to be reflected to the surface, as well as provides heat sink properties further prolonging the life of the LEDs. By focusing all the available light on the desired area and eliminating stray light, lower wattage LEDs can be used.
