Abstract
A light assembly including a light pipe and a plurality of light sources. The light pipe is an elongated, single, unitary piece having a generally linear light-exiting surface along one edge. The light pipe includes a plurality of lens portions along its length. Each lens portion forms a portion of the light existing surface. Each light source is associated with one of the lens portions to emit light into the lens portion and, therefore, the light pipe as a whole. The light from the light sources mixes within the light pipe before exiting the light pipe through the light-exiting surface in a generally linear pattern.
