Abstract
A parabolic louver and side light seal are disclosed for use in an overhead lighting system. The parabolic louver comprises a series of ultra-thin, lightweight stringers and baffles arranged perpendicular to one another and securely connected via “snap-fit” side and center joints. The side light seal comprises two side rails and two end rails. The two side rails are mounted to the sides of the parabolic louver to reinforce the louver, to provide a light seal, and to precisely locate the louver below the light source.
