Abstract
A fluorescent light fixture with light transmissive windows aimed to provide controlled illumination above the mounted lighting fixture includes a housing having an elongated horizontal top surface with side edges and edges at opposite ends of the top surface. Oblique walls extend from the side edges of the top surface, and flare downwardly and outwardly from the side edges. First and second end walls extend downwardly from opposite ends of the top surface, the oblique walls and end walls joining to form a downwardly facing opening in the housing. Fluorescent light bulbs are mounted parallel to each other in the housing, so that light from selected light bulbs is reflected generally downwardly. The oblique walls include a plurality of spaced windows configured to direct a controlled portion of light from one or more light bulbs in a generally upward direction to provide indirect lighting.
