Abstract

The present application discloses, among other things, optics and lighting devices, systems, and associated methods for delivering light asymmetrically onto a target surface so as to create a desired illumination pattern. Typically, the optics and lighting systems described herein include an optic that receives light from one or more light sources and redirects the light in a patterned or other controlled manner. In many cases, a central lens portion can generate a desired asymmetric illumination pattern while peripheral lens portions redirect light received from the light source to portions of the asymmetric illumination pattern generated by the central lens portion. In many embodiments, the central lens portion redirects light received from a source only via refraction, whereas the peripheral lens portions redirect the light received from the source via a combination of reflection and refraction.
