Abstract
A light fixture with edgelit optical element is configured with an elongate body which retains and aligns optical components in a shallow linear form factor. Embodiments can be installed within a ceiling grid system and provide a fixture height less than that of a ceiling grid T-bar. An edglit optical element with light scattering features produces an extended emitting area for low glare and provides light distributions such as asymmetric and symmetric batwing distributions particularly useful in downlighting and other lighting applications.
