1. A light fixture having normalized light output comprising:
- a case defining a first optical cavity, said optical cavity having an optical window;
a first light source in said optical cavity;
a first transparent film having first and second major surfaces in said optical window, said first major surface being smooth and facing into said optical cavity and said second major surface having a plurality of triangular prisms thereon, each of said triangular prisms having a major axis, said major axes of said prisms being parallel to one another;
a case defining a second optical cavity having a first input optical window and an output optical window, said second optical cavity input window accepting light exiting said first optical cavity through said first optical cavity optical window; and
a second transparent film having first and second major surfaces in said optical window, said second transparent film first major surface being smooth and facing into said second optical cavity and said second transparent film second major surface having a plurality of triangular prisms thereon, each of said triangular prisms having a major axis, said major axes of said prisms being parallel to one another and perpendicular to said major axes of said prisms of said first transparent film.

Abstract
A light fixture providing normalized output. An undirected light source is located in an optical cavity having an optical window. A film with a smooth surface and a structured surface is placed in the optical window with the smooth surface facing the interior of the optical cavity. The structured surface has a plurality of triangular prisms thereon.
