Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2014013745A1] A lighting device includes a transparent optical cavity having an exit surface including a specularly reflective material arranged to reflect light into the cavity, the exit surface having a plurality of apertures formed therein, a base surface including a specularly reflective material arranged to reflect light into the cavity, and at least one light receiving surface arranged relative to the base surface and configured to receive light from a light source. The plurality of apertures are arranged to maximize at least one of uniformity, angular distribution, efficiency or luminous intensity of light exiting the exit surface, and a distribution of light received at the light receiving surface is altered by at least one of a combination of the exit surface and the base surface, or the light receiving surface.
