Abstract
A work area lighting system is provided including a housing containing a linear light source therein and having an open bottom end. A refractor comprising a pair of refractor plate members closes the open bottom end. The refractor includes a first member having a plurality of spaced prisms extending parallel to the light source and a second having a plurality of spaced prisms extending perpendicular to the light source. The second member underlies the first member and both are co-extensive in length with the light source. The refractor plates each have light incident and light emergent surfaces and both plates have their prisms on the light incident surface.
