A wall wash lighting assembly is provided for a recessed light fixture mountable on a ceiling. The lighting assembly includes an optical assembly and a trim face plate connected thereto. The optical assembly has a first kicker reflector, a second kicker reflector and a light-shaping optical film. The first kicker reflector reflects light from a light source. The second kicker reflector reflects light received from the first kicker reflector toward an adjacent wall. The light-shaping optical film spreads light from the light source and the first and second kicker reflectors in a uniform light pattern in a target area, such as onto the adjacent wall or downward in a direction parallel to the adjacent wall. The trim face plate has a trim opening through which light is outputted onto the target area. The lighting assembly can employ detachable fasteners to allow for the interchangeability of the optical film and the trim face plate.

Optical and mechanical assembly for wall wash lighting

A gradient-index (GRIN) optical connector is disclosed that includes a GRIN lens having a central optical axis and front and back opposite endfaces. A plurality of optical fibers are optically coupled to the back endface of the GRIN lens and defines a first optical fiber bundle having an asymmetric arrangement relative to the central optical axis of the GRIN lens. The GRIN lens has a refractive index profile generally defined by an alpha profile having an alpha parameter &#x3b1; in a range 1.92&#x2266;&#x3b1;&#x2266;1.98. An optical fiber connector assembly formed by interfacing two of the GRIN optical connectors is also disclosed.
