Abstract
Luminaires are disclosed that include refractive and/or reflective structures that can provide or distribute lighting for a given area with high uniformity and efficiency. The structures can be used to distribute light from one or more light sources for lighting target areas with a desired light distribution. The lighting structures can be included in light strips or luminaires. Such luminaire can be utilized in place of fluorescent lights and can facilitate quick and easy retrofit for previous fluorescent lighting applications. The disclosed techniques and systems (including components and structures) can be particularly useful when employing one or more LEDs as light sources.
