Abstract
A reflector for a lighting fixture comprising a substantially bell shaped reflector wall with top and bottom openings and a substantially parabolic cross-section. The reflector wall includes an inner surface having a first top portion that is textured for diffusing light rays from the light source of the fixture, and a second bottom portion that has a smooth surface allowing the light rays to pass through the reflector. The reflector wall also has an outer surface with a plurality of curvilinear prisms for reflecting the light rays. The inner and outer surfaces of the reflector create an even distribution of light emanating therefrom.
