Abstract
This disclosure relates to lighting fixtures, such as suspended lighting fixtures. Devices according to the present disclosure provide lighting fixtures capable of emitting in one or more primary directions, while simultaneously emitting in a direction toward a mount surface, reducing undesirable areas of insufficient light and more efficiently illuminating a space. Lighting fixtures disclosed herein can achieve this increase in illumination efficiency in many ways, including utilizing various lighting element arrangements, such as dual-sided lighting elements, and various lens arrangements, such as lens shape affecting the direction of emitted light.
