Abstract

A luminaire housing designed to be installed to illuminate an illumination area, wherein a light source is oriented within the housing to direct a central axis of emitted light rays away from the illumination area and towards a reflective surface of a stationary reflector. In some embodiments the stationary reflector is oriented and contoured to reflect the light rays towards a light spread lens having one end positioned above at least a portion of a reflector lip and angled into the housing with respect to a light passageway. Optionally, the luminaire housing may be a recessed luminaire housing.
