1. A lighting device comprising:
- a housing configured to be attached to a thoroughfare surface, the housing comprising a top surface, a proximal face, a distal face, and first and second sidewalls extending between the proximal face and the distal face and extending downwardly from the top surface;
circuitry carried by the housing;
a first primary optic carried by the housing adjacent the first sidewall to define a first optical chamber; and
a first light source positioned within the first optical chamber and carried by the housing adjacent the first sidewall;
wherein the circuitry is electrically coupled to the first light source;
wherein the first sidewall comprises a first slanted section;
wherein an axis of the first slanted section is skew to a longitudinal axis of the lighting device; and
wherein the first primary optic is configured to direct light outward and in a direction away from at least one of the first sidewall and the first slanted section.

Abstract
A lighting device may include a housing configured to be attached to a thoroughfare surface. The housing may include a top surface, a proximal face, a distal face, and first and second sidewalls extending between the proximal face and the distal face. Circuitry may be carried by the housing. A first primary optic may be carried by the housing adjacent the first sidewall to define a first optical chamber, and a first light source may be positioned within the first optical chamber and carried by the housing adjacent the first sidewall. The first sidewall may have a first slanted section, and an axis of the first slanted section may skew to a longitudinal axis of the lighting device.
