LIGHTING DEVICE
First Claim
1. A lighting device, comprising:
- a substantially cylindrical tube defining an interior and an exterior, and a longitudinal axis extending between a first end and a second end, the first end of the tube defining a substantially cylindrical opening disposed in a plane at a first angle that is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, and the second end of the tube defining a substantially elliptical opening disposed in a plane at a second angle that is substantially non-perpendicular to the longitudinal axis;
a reflective surface disposed on the interior of the tube;
a substantially cylindrical flashing disposed about the exterior of the tube;
a substantially transparent dome coupled to the tube proximate the first end; and
a diffuser coupled to the tube proximate the second end.

Abstract
A lighting device includes a substantially cylindrical tube defining an interior and an exterior, and a longitudinal axis extending between a first end and a second end. The first end of the tube defines a substantially cylindrical opening disposed in a plane at a first angle that is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, and the second end of the tube defines a substantially elliptical opening disposed in a plane at a second angle that is substantially non-perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. A reflective surface is provided on the interior of the tube, and a substantially cylindrical flashing is provided about the exterior of the tube. A substantially transparent dome is coupled to the tube proximate the first end, and a diffuser is coupled to the tube proximate the second end.

13. A lighting device, comprising:
-
a tube defining an interior and an exterior, and a longitudinal axis extending between a first end and a second end, the first end of the tube configured to receive light from a light source, and the second end of the tube configured to emit the light to an interior of a building; a reflective surface disposed on the interior of the tube; a flashing disposed about the exterior of the tube; a substantially transparent dome coupled to the tube proximate the first end; and a diffuser coupled to the tube at an angle that is non-perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and configured to direct the light into the interior of the building in a direction that is non-parallel to the longitudinal axis. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A method of making a lighting device, comprising:
-
providing a tube defining an interior with a reflective surface and an exterior, and a longitudinal axis extending between a first end and a second end, the first end of the tube configured to receive light from a light source, and the second end of the tube configured to transmit the light to an interior of a building; coupling a flashing about the exterior of the tube; coupling a dome to the flashing proximate the first end of the tube; providing at least one projection extending inwardly toward the axis and disposed proximate the second end of the tube; supporting a diffuser at least temporarily on the projection; applying a bead of a hot melt silicone material substantially along an interface between the second end of the tube and the perimeter of the diffuser; and curing the hot melt silicone material while the diffuser is supported on the projection. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A lighting device, comprising:
-
a tube defining an interior and an exterior, and a longitudinal axis extending between a first end and a second end, the first end of the tube configured to receive light from an exterior light source, and the second end of the tube configured to emit at least a portion of the light to an interior of a building; a reflective surface disposed on the interior of the tube; a flashing disposed about the exterior of the tube; a substantially transparent dome coupled to the tube proximate the first end; and a supplemental light source disposed proximate the second end of the tube. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)
