Patent Number: 6820997 
Title: Lighting System and Lamp with Optimal Position Placement for Television, News and Motion Picture Studio 
Abstract: A lighting system for projecting a soft light with a flat reflector to provide a fill light with minimal spill light. Conventional light sources, U-shaped glass, fluorescent tubes preferably having phosphor coatings, are located at a position other than parallel to one another, that is, the socket assemblies are mounted in a V position at about 110.degree. angle to opposing ends of the lighting fixture assembly. This placement provides a greater light output than is achievable by positioning the light sources parallel to one another, in addition to increasing the number of tubes used in the small space, thus decreasing the size and/or weight of the housing and increasing the light output. Furthermore, the fluorescent tubes will act as a reflector due to the angled position.
