Abstract

A linear light emitting diode (LED) light including electrical-to-optical converters (EOs) on circuit boards in end housings to couple photons into ends of an acrylic rod. Photons from the electrical-to-optical converters radiate from the acrylic rod to light the space around the linear LED light.
