A luminaire motorized shade or douser mechanism includes a lamp mounted within a reflector and a motorized shade unit that opens and closes in front of the lens of the reflector. The shade unit includes a motor, two rollers, two guide cables, a sheet of opaque flexible material or fabric, and an aluminum frame. The motor drives the roller to run the shade in front of the lens to cover it and also to uncover. The motorized shade or douser mechanism is used to effectively block the light emitting from the lamp and create a condition whereas no light leaves the lens of the luminaire.

Luminaire motorized shade (douser) mechanism

A light fixture includes a lamp mounted within a reflector. The reflector includes a first surface lying in a generally parabolic sheet and being bounded in the generally parabolic sheet by first and second edges. A pair of generally opposing surfaces are connected to the first surface at the first and second edges. The generally opposing surfaces have a shape such that the lamp provides a generally rectangular beam pattern when the reflector reflects or redirects light from the lamp.
