Abstract
Aspects of this invention relate to a system that provides an illuminated feature for an LED luminaire that can be used with opposite linear runs of LEDs to light the edges or sides of a luminaire without requiring additional LEDs. The system may include a light guide assembly located along an end housing of a light fixture, the light guide assembly including a light guide with a light guide end located proximate to one or more captured LEDs from a first plurality of LEDs located along a first side housing of the light fixture, and another light guide end located proximate to one or more captured LEDs from a second plurality of LEDs located along a second side housing of the light fixture, wherein the light guide receives the light from the one or more captured LEDs from the first plurality of LEDs and the one or more captured LEDs from the second plurality of LEDs and projects the light through the light guide, wherein when covered by a lens, the light emitted from the light guide is equivalent in appearance to the light emitted from the first plurality of LEDs and the second plurality of LEDs.
