Generally, embodiment(s) disclosed herein may include modular luminaires and customizable luminaire combinations to produce desired overall illumination patterns, modular luminaires interchangeable between one or more lighting systems/luminaires having differing configurations, and/or luminaires with portions thereof formed primarily by optical waveguides, e.g., a wall sconce where primarily only waveguides extend from the wall. Further, contemplated throughout this disclosure is modification of panel-style and/or blade-style waveguide(s) for use with luminaire configurations having different sizes, shapes, and structural elements including as modular luminaires for use in creating further customizable lighting systems/luminaires.

Lighting fixture with waveguide

According to an aspect of the present disclosure, a luminaire comprises a housing and at least one waveguide comprising first and second opposite waveguide ends, a coupling portion disposed at the first waveguide end, and a light emitting portion disposed between the first and second waveguide ends. The luminaire is further arranged such that the first waveguide end is disposed adjacent a first luminaire end and the second waveguide end is disposed at a second luminaire end opposite the first luminaire end. Still further, the luminaire comprises at least one LED element disposed within the housing adjacent the coupling portion of the at least one waveguide such that the at least one waveguide provides a first illumination pattern and the at least one waveguide is interchangeable with another waveguide that provides a second illumination pattern.

Modular waveguides and fixtures utilizing same

According to an aspect of this disclosure, a lighting system comprises at least first and second luminaires wherein each luminaire comprises a housing, an optical waveguide suspended from the associated housing, and one or more LEDs disposed adjacent the optical waveguide. Further in accordance with this aspect, the system comprises circuitry disposed within the housing of the first luminaire wherein the circuitry comprises LED driving circuitry and power circuitry, the power circuitry provides power to the first luminaire and at least a second luminaire, and the second luminaire is modular.
