1. A light converting device comprising:
- an enclosure;
an occlusion; and
a conversion material located adjacent to and generally conforming to a contour of at least part of the occlusion;
wherein at least part of the occlusion is located within the enclosure to receive a source light within a source wavelength range;
wherein the conversion material converts the source light to a converted light within a converted wavelength range;
wherein the converted light is reflected by the occlusion to a desired output direction.

Abstract
A light converting device is described for receiving source light within a source wavelength range, converting the source light into a converted light, and reflecting the converted light to a desired output direction. The lighting device may use a color conversion occlusion to receive the source light and reflect a converted light in the desired output direction. The converted light may be intermediately reflected by the enclosure as it is directed in the desired output direction.
