A modular cove lighting system (450) is formed of tubular fluorescent light fixtures (454) connected together in parallel. The modular system is capable of providing uniform illumination along its length. The modular system advantageously may include straight lamps (52), curved lamps (474) (including lamps forming 90 degree angles), and/or hinged lamp fixtures. The system may be constructed with lamps that are illuminated completely from end to end, which can then be lined up end-to-end to create the illusion of one continuous lamp. Through special matching of ballasts (484) and appropriate lamps, the lamps will dim evenly with each other, regardless of the lengths and shapes of the lamps. Each lamp and ballast is completely contained in a casing (466) to form a cove lighting module. Multicolor systems formed on one or more light fixtures are also disclosed. A recessed light fixture (12) is also disclosed. |
