1. A method of providing edge lighting, comprising:

  • providing a lighting device with at least one light emitting diode (LED) chip embedded therein, wherein the at least one LED chip generates light photons; and

    redirecting a path of the light photons within the lighting device that are emitted by the at least one LED chip from a top surface of said at least one LED chip, from a first edge of the lighting device back through the lighting device to a second edge of the lighting device opposite to the first edge, the first edge and the second edge being perpendicular to the top surface of said at least one LED chip, the photons which were redirected from the first edge of the lighting device being transmitted in a path through the second edge of the device and then being output from the lighting device at the second edge of the device.
