Light fixtures comprising an organic light emitting diode (OLED) as the light source, and further comprising a housing, at least one hollow, and an optic. The at least one hollow defines an intended area where light is emitted, and includes a reflective surface to reflect light within the intended area. The optic comprises a refractive portion that is defined by two edges. In one embodiment, the OLED is coupled to the two edges of the optic. In another embodiment, the OLED is coupled to and contacts an inner surface of the refractive portion. In either embodiment, the OLED is either sufficiently close to or contacting the refractive portion such that surface area of emitted light is maximized. Additionally, the OLED is placed sufficiently close to (or within) the intended area that reflected light and optical efficiency are maximized.
