Edge lit lighting device
First Claim
1. An edge lit lighting device comprising:
- a rectangular prism shaped housing comprising an upper housing having a lower surface;
a plurality of light sources attached to the lower surface; and
a plurality of primary optics, each primary optic being associated with a light source of the plurality of light sources and positioned in optical communication with the associated light source, each primary optic comprisinga receiving surface positioned adjacent to the associated light source,a first surface, anda second emitting surface;
wherein the primary optics are carried by the planar surfaces of the rectangular prism shaped housing;
wherein the second emitting surface comprises a plurality of features configured to redirect light in the direction of the first surface;
wherein the plurality of light sources and plurality of primary optics are positioned so as to emit light in the direction of a secondary optic; and
wherein a primary optic of the plurality of primary optics is positioned so as to emit light in a direction approximately orthogonal to another primary optic of the plurality of primary optics.

Abstract
An edge lit lighting device including a housing, a power circuit, a light source, and an optic. The power circuit may be carried by the housing, and adapted to form an electrical connection with an external power source. The light source may be carried by the housing and electrically connected to the power circuit. The optic may be carried by the housing and positioned in optical communication with the light source. The optic may further include a receiving surface positioned adjacent to the light source, and first and second emitting surfaces. The first emitting surface may include a plurality of features configured to redirect light defined as redirected light in a direction of the second emitting surface, the redirected light being emitted from the second emitting surface. The lighting device may further include pluralities of optics of light sources.
