Reflective housing for increased luminance of fluorescent bulbs

摘要

A fluorescent light fixture assembly that provides unidirectional lighting having an intensity which is comparable to that provided by incandescent bulbs within parabolic reflective housings. The light fixture assembly comprises a fluorescent bulb, having an axis of extension, which is connected to an adaptor and a socket member. The fluorescent bulb is situated within a parabolic reflective housing having a longitudinal axis. The reflective housing is affixed to the adaptor so that the axis of extension of the fluorescent bulb is conspicuously angled with respect to the longitudinal axis of the reflective housing.
