    This document discusses lighting reflectors. It explains that reflex lighting devices appear brighter the narrower the cone of returned light, provided the observer is within that cone. Unlike ordinary plane mirrors which only return light when perpendicular to the source, reflex devices return light toward the source regardless of its position. The document outlines that the two main optical systems used for reflex lighting are triple reflectors and lens-mirror devices. It provides further detail on triple reflectors, noting they are composed of three plane mirrors arranged at right angles like a corner.

    13-30 I E S LIGHTING HANDBOOK

    Except for the conservation achieved by confining the reflected beam to


    this narrow cone the reflex would not appear as a bright source. The
    narrower the cone within which the light is returned, the brighter the
    reflector will appear, provided the observer's eyes are within that cone.
    The light is reflected back toward its source, whether or not that source
    is directly in front of the reflector. This basic characteristic of reflex
    devices may be contrasted with the type of reflection occurring at an or-
    dinary plane mirror where light is returned toward the source only when
    the mirror is exactly perpendicular to a line connecting it with the source.
    Two generic optical systems that perform the required functions have
    been developed for general use. They are triple reflectors and lens-
    mirror devices.
    Triple Reflectors
    Three plane mirrors arranged mutually at right angles, as in the corner
    FIG. 13-24. Triple mirror reflectors comprise aggregates of concave cube corners.
