Abstract
A wall-washer lighting fixture is installed flush with a ceiling surface and directs light horizontally and vertically along adjacent wall surfaces, closely adjacent to the intersection between the ceiling and the wall surfaces in order to reduce to a minimum any shaded area along wall surfaces adjacent the intersection. The lighting fixture includes first lens elements oriented, located and configured for directing light toward first areas of the wall surface, spaced vertically downwardly from the intersection, and a second lens element located vertically lower than the first lens elements and oriented and configured for directing light toward second areas of the wall surface, located between the first areas and the intersection between the ceiling surface and the wall surface, so as to illuminate the wall surface more uniformly while reducing to a minimum any shaded area along the wall surface adjacent the intersection. A method places the first and second lens elements so as to accomplish the aforesaid illumination of the wall surface.
