1. A luminaire comprising:
- a first light source and a second light source;
an elongated reflective element defining a first aperture located adjacent to the first light source and configured to pass a first portion of light received from the first light source through the first aperture in a first direction and reflect a second portion of light received from the first light source in a second direction;
the elongated reflective element defining a second aperture located adjacent to the second light source and configured to pass a first portion of light received from the second light source through the second aperture in a third direction and reflect a second portion of light received from the second light source in a fourth direction; and
a refractive element configured to receive and transmit the first and second portions of light.

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.

16. A luminaire comprising:
-
a first light source for emitting light and a second light source for emitting light; an elongated reflector having a first side and a second side and defining a first aperture extending from the first side to the second side and defining a second aperture extending from the first side to the second side, the reflector configured and situated such that; a first portion of the light emitted by the first light source passes through the first aperture and a first portion of the light emitted by the second light source passes through the second aperture; and a second portion of the light emitted by the first light source is reflected by the first side of the reflector and a second portion of the light emitted by the second light source is reflected by the first side of the reflector. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
