Light fixture with wide-angle light distribution
First Claim
1. A lighting fixture comprising:
- a support member bordering a light-passage space and including front and back end portions, the front end-portion having an edge defining a light opening which has a centerline, the back end-portion being spaced from the light opening;
a substantially planar board disposed at the back-end portion transverse the support member and bordering the light-passage space extending from the board to the light opening;
at least one LED emitter positioned on the board off-centerline in a first lateral direction for directing light toward the light opening; and
a lens for the at least one emitter, the lens being configured for directing light from the emitter(s) primarily in a second lateral direction which is opposite the first lateral direction such that the light passes across the light-passage space and through the light opening at a portion of the edge that is off-centerline in the second lateral direction with no more than minimal light being directed onto the support member.

Abstract
A lighting fixture includes a front end-portion having an edge defining a light opening and a back end-portion spaced from the opening which has a centerline. At least one LED emitter on the mounting board disposed at the back end-portion for directing light toward the opening, the emitter(s) being off-centerline in a first lateral direction. A lens for the emitter(s), the lens being configured for distribution of light from the emitter(s) primarily in a second lateral direction which is opposite the first lateral direction such that the light passes through the light opening at a portion of the edge that is off-centerline in the second lateral direction, thereby to widen the illumination angle from the fixture.
