LUMINAIRE HAVING EDGE-LIT LIGHT PANEL WITH SUB-SURFACE OPTICAL FEATURES

Abstract:

A luminaire includes a housing, a light diffusion panel, and a light source. The light diffusion panel is positioned in the housing. The light diffusion panel includes a light source aperture defined therein, an edge surface bounding the light source aperture, a plurality of sub-surface optical features disposed within the light diffusion panel, and an emission surface. The emission surface includes an emission surface section. The light source projects light into the light diffusion panel through the edge surface of the light diffusion panel. The light projects into the light diffusion panel to interact with the plurality of sub-surface optical features and exit the light diffusion panel through the emission surface section.
