1. A luminaire comprising:
- an output aperture having an input port and an output port defining an aperture light path, the output aperture having a top and a bottom which are not parallel to each other;
a radiation guide having an input port and an output port and having an optical guide plane extending from the input port to the output port; and
an array of LEDs located at the input port of the radiation guide such that light emitted by the LEDs is transmitted into the radiation guide;
wherein the input port of the aperture operatively connects to the output port of the radiation guide and is positioned adjacent thereto such that a cross section of the output aperture is asymmetrical relative to the optical guide plane, and wherein the output aperture has parallel sides and a rectangular cross section perpendicular to the aperture light path and perpendicular to the optical guide plane extending through the aperture.

Abstract
A luminaire comprising an output aperture having an input port and an output port, a radiation guide having an input port and an output port and an array of LEDs located at the input port of the guide. Light emitted by the LEDs is transmitted into the guide. The input port of the aperture operatively connects to the output port of guide and is positioned adjacent thereto so that a central plane of the output aperture is asymmetric relative to a central plane of the radiation guide.
