Bollard light fixture

An optic for a light-emitting diode (LED) array comprises an arrangement of optical structures for providing down lighting distribution from the LED array and a waveguide edge for providing up-lighting distribution from the LED array. Luminaires are described comprising an LED array and the optic. An overhead light fixture includes a driver assembly and a light-emitting assembly. The light-emitting assembly is operably connected to the driver and configured for downward emission of light from a light source of the light-emitting assembly. The light fixture is configured to be mounted to a canopy sheet of an overhead canopy, with the driver assembly disposed above the canopy sheet and the light-emitting assembly disposed below the canopy sheet. A bezel is optionally disposed around a lens of the light-emitting assembly, for aesthetic reasons and/or for controlling a degree of lateral emission of light from the light fixture.

LED light fixtures with waveguide edge

A lighting fixture incorporates a peripheral light emission feature, such as a peripheral waveguide and/or a peripheral reflector region. A peripheral light emission feature may at least partially surround a non-peripheral feature that may include a light-transmissive panel. At least one first light source may illuminate a peripheral light emission feature, and at least one second light source may illuminate a light transmissive panel. Control circuitry is configured to selectively adjust intensity and/or color temperature of the light sources to cause aggregate emissions of the lighting fixture (or a lighting system with multiple lighting fixtures) to dynamically change over time (e.g., with different intensities and color temperature), so as resemble a skylight or window. A viewer may thereby perceive at least portions of a space as being naturally illuminated.
