Abstract
A task lamp is disclosed which includes a reflector assembly and two sockets for receiving light bulbs mounted in a housing. The reflector assembly has a planar reflecting surface, front and back reflecting surfaces, and side reflecting surfaces. The planar reflecting surface serves as a base, and the front, back, and side reflecting surfaces extend from the planar reflecting surface and have predetermined angles with respect to a vertical plane when the lamp is in its normal operating position. The reflector assembly also has a pyramidal reflecting piece with triangular reflecting surfaces that extend from the planar reflecting surface. The base of the pyramidal reflecting piece is positioned against one of the front and back reflecting surfaces, while the vertex of the pyramidal reflecting piece is positioned proximate the other of the front and back reflecting surfaces. The reflector assembly and the sockets are arranged to position the pyramidal reflecting piece between the sockets and to position each socket near a side reflecting surface. The lamp advantageously includes slidably mounted lenses, for example, lateral distribution lenses. Moreover, the lamp preferably has shield-reflectors located between inserted light bulbs and the workstation. A white finish on the reflecting surfaces of the reflector assembly is desirable.
