LIGHT PIPE FIXTURE WITH INTERNAL EXTRACTOR

摘要

An illumination device (40) for transmitting and/or distributing light with an extractor (34) that extends distally into the interior of the light guide (42). The illumination device (40) includes a hollow light guide (42) including a wall having an inner surface (50) and a structured outer side (48). The structured outer side (48) includes a plurality of prisms (52) defining grooves that extend along a length of the light guide (42). An extractor (36) extends substantially along the length of the light guide (42 ) and projects distally from the inner surface (50) towards an interior of the light guide (42). The extractor (36) is operative to cause light to be released through the wall of the light guide (42). A method of attaching the extractor (36) is also disclosed.
