The invention relates to a light-diffusing material, having a high transmission of UVA light, useful for horticultural lighting. The light-diffusing material has a hiding power of greater than 50% at 350 nm and a transmission of light at 350 nm of at least 30 percent, and preferably at least 50%. Additionally the light-diffusing material also transmits and diffuses at least 50% of light at 300 nm, 465 nm, and at 800 nm. The light-diffusing material is especially useful as a glazing for horticultural use.

In various embodiments, an LED lighting fixture may comprise: at least one socket comprising a socket opening; at least one LED positioned substantially within the socket opening; at least one shield member positioned adjacent the at least one socket such that the shield substantially encloses the socket opening; at least one decorative light shade; at least one cover comprising a neck portion having an internal surface, the internal surface defining a cover opening. The cover opening is configured to receive there-through at least a portion of a socket and substantially engage the socket. At least a portion of the cover is configured to substantially engage the decorative light shade. Also, at least a portion of the cover is configured to substantially enclose the LED and shield.

A UV light medium can be enhanced to provide specific optical properties that assist in distributing UV light from a UV source to achieve a defined UV light pattern and effective UV disinfection. The properties of the UV light medium can be selected and enhanced by loading the medium with additives, applying a UV blocking pattern, varying the UV light medium material type, thickness, shape, layering, or surface texture. The medium can be any material subject to UV light during a UV treatment or disinfection process. The UV light medium can create a generally uniform UV light pattern that reduces UV hot spots. The UV light medium can diffuse UV light at a target area to enables more robust disinfection with the same or lower UV source intensity.

Simulated flame devices are shown and described having first and second diffusers, each with a sheet having a series of lines etched or embedded on the sheet. A PCB is disposed behind the first and second diffusers and comprises a plurality of light sources disposed or embedded on the PCB. The first and second diffusers may wrap about the PCB to create a 360 degree effect, and the diffusers themselves act to stretch the light emanated from the light sources in a vertical direction. The use of the two diffusers along with changing a brightness of some or all of the light sources over time simulates a moving flame.

In embodiments, a first light engine produces a first light spectrum having a first CCT. A second light engine produces a second light spectrum having a second CCT. The first light spectrum is emitted from a first region of an enclosure; a second light spectrum is emitted from a second region; and a mixture is emitted from a third region that separates the first and second regions. The second CCT is less than the first CCT; a difference between the first and second CCTs is at least 10,000K. The first light spectrum may have a first emission peak in a range of 450 to 480 nm and a second emission peak in a range of 380 to 420 nm. The second light spectrum may have a third emission peak in a range of 480 to 500 nm and a fourth emission peak in the range of 450 to 480 nm.

A luminaire and LED light engine are provided. The luminaire includes the LED light engine and an optical device. The LED light engine includes an LED array and a partial diffuser. The partial diffuser diffuses light that is emitted by LEDs of a selected first subset of LEDs in the LED array and leaves undiffused light that is emitted by LEDs of a second subset of LEDs in the LED array. At least some LEDs are selected for inclusion in the first subset as emitting light that produces poorly blended colors in a light beam emitted by the LED array. The optical device is configured to receive a light beam emitted from the LED light engine and emit a modified light beam.

A lighting device including at least one first light source emitting a visible light, at least one second light source spaced apart from the first light source and emitting a light having a wavelength for sterilization, and a housing, in which the first light source and the second light source are disposed, in which the first light source is disposed outside an area having an angle corresponding to about 50% of a maximum amount of light emitted from the second light source based on a line extending from a center of the second light source along a direction substantially perpendicular to a light emitting surface of the second light source.
