A fascia wash luminaire has a housing, a lamp socket and a refractor lens. The
lamp socket mounts within the housing and is designed to hold a lamp in place within
the housing. The refractor lens is trough shaped and is also held by the housing
positioned under the light generation region for focusing the light from the light
generation region to the fascia more broadly beneath the luminaire and more narrowly
to the sides of the luminaire. The lens is shaped such that the distance between
the lens and light generation region is smaller directly under the light generation
region than it is on either side of the light generation region. The luminaire
may also have a reflector for boosting the light directed downward and diagonal
to the luminaire.
