EFFICIENT SIDE-LIGHT DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

摘要

Improved side-light distribution systems are disclosed. One exemplary system includes a tight source and a side-iighi distribution member. The light source supplies light to the side-light distribution member having (1 ) an inlet port on the first end of the member for receiving the light and {2} a second end having a reflective means. The inlet port consists of part of the surface area of the first end of the member. The reflective means associated with the second end of the member receives light from the first end and directs light towards the first end. At !east part of a surface area of the first end of outside of the inlet port includes a reflective means for receiving the light from the second end and directing the light towards the second end of the rod.
