Lensed troffer-style light fixture
First Claim
1. A light fixture, comprising:
- a fixture housing comprising a fixture opening;
at least three light emitting diode (LED) arrays mounted to said fixture housing, wherein at least two of said LED arrays are mounted to face substantially the same direction;
at least three first diffusers, each of said first diffusers over and at least partially surrounding at least one of said LED arrays, with each of said first diffusers dispersing and/or mixing light from its respective said LED array, wherein each of said first diffusers is mounted to said fixture housing, wherein a first and a second of said first diffusers are aligned in a first direction and said first and a third of said first diffusers are aligned in a second direction; and
at least one second diffuser, wherein light from at least one of said LED arrays passes through said second diffuser after passing through its respective one of said first diffusers.

Abstract
Troffer-style lighting fixtures are disclosed having troffer housing with reflective regions, and respective light emitting diode (LED) arrays mounted in the reflective regions. The LED arrays are arranged to emit out of said troffer housing to illuminate a room below. The LED arrays can be driven by an elevated drive signal to produce a high luminous flux. The light fixtures according to the present invention can have lenses and diffusers over the arrays arranged to mix and disperse light from the light source to reduce hot spots and the appearance of individual LED colors. A plurality of first diffusers is included, each over a respective LED array. A second diffuser is included over the first diffusers, with the LED light passing through the diffusers prior to emitting from the lighting fixture. The diffusers can have shapes, surfaces or materials to disperse and/or mix the LED light as it emits.

27. A troffer-style light fixture, comprising:
-
a troffer housing, comprising a plurality of reflective regions; a plurality of light emitting diode (LED) light sources emitting white light, a respective one of which is mounted to said troffer housing in one of said reflective regions, wherein at least two of said LED light sources are mounted with the same orientation in relation to said troffer housing; a plurality of first diffusers each of which is over and at least partially surrounding a respective one of said LED light sources, wherein each of said first diffusers is mounted to said troffer housing, wherein said plurality of first diffusers is in a grid formation; and a second diffuser over said first diffusers, wherein light emitting from said fixture passes through said first and second diffuser for dispersing and/or mixing. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)
