Path light and unitary gasket-reflector

1. A light module, comprising:

a housing having at least one opening;

a substantially planar light modifier having substantially uniform thickness comprising an opening therein and having at least an outer edge;

at least one light source emitting electromagnetic radiation; and

a unitary gasket-reflector molded from a single composition, positioned and configured to reflect electromagnetic radiation emitted by the at least one light source toward the light modifier, the unitary gasket-reflector comprising:

an internal volume defined by one or more internal surfaces of the unitary gasket-reflector, the internal surfaces of the unitary gasket-reflector that define the internal volume having a reflectance of at least 95% with respect to the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the at least one light source and reflected by the unitary gasket-reflector toward the light modifier;

a channel formed by at least a first and a second wall of the unitary gasket-reflector for accepting the outer edge of the light modifier where the first and second walls contact respective opposite sides of the light modifier to seal the light modifier with respect to the internal volume, the first and second walls being connected to each other proximate the outer edge of the light modifier; and

a distal end opposite the light modifier, the distal end having openings or other electromagnetic energy transmitting regions therein to permit the electromagnetic radiation from the at least one light source to enter the internal volume.

2. The light module of claim 1 , wherein the light modifier is substantially planar.

3. The light module of claim 2 , wherein the unitary gasket reflector comprises a third wall projecting from the second wall, the third wall being sufficiently long and the first channel extending deep enough that a portion of the first wall, the second wall, and the third wall are sandwiched between opposing forces applied generally perpendicular to a depth axis of the channel.

4. The light module of claim 1 , wherein the light modifier has a substantially uniform thickness.

5. The light module of claim 4 , wherein the unitary gasket reflector comprises a third wall projecting from the second wall, the third wall being sufficiently long and the first channel extending deep enough that a portion of the first wall, the second wall, and the third wall are sandwiched between opposing forces applied generally perpendicular to a depth axis of the channel.

6. The light module of claim 1 , wherein the unitary gasket reflector is molded from a single composition.

7. The light module of claim 6 , wherein the unitary gasket reflector comprises a third wall projecting from the second wall, the third wall being sufficiently long and the first channel extending deep enough that a portion of the first wall, the second wall, and the third wall are sandwiched between opposing forces applied generally perpendicular to a depth axis of the channel.

8. The light module of claim 1 , wherein the unitary gasket reflector is molded from a composition having a reflectance of at least 95% with respect to the electromagnet radiation emitted by the at least one light source.

9. The light module of claim 8 , wherein the composition is flexible enough to be compressed by a force outside the unitary gasket-reflector to form a seal between the unitary gasket reflector and the light modifier.

10. The light module of claim 9 , wherein the unitary gasket reflector comprises a third wall projecting from the second wall and molded from the composition, the third wall being sufficiently long and the first channel extending deep enough that a portion of the first wall, the second wall, and the third wall are sandwiched between opposing forces applied generally perpendicular to a depth axis of the channel.

11. The light module of claim 8 , wherein the unitary gasket reflector comprises a third wall projecting from the second wall and molded from the composition, the third wall being sufficiently long and the first channel extending deep enough that a portion of the first wall, the second wall, and the third wall are sandwiched between opposing forces applied generally perpendicular to a depth axis of the channel.

12. The light module of claim 1 , wherein the portion of the unitary gasket-reflector which comprises the channel is formed from a composition flexible enough to be compressed by a force outside the unitary gasket-reflector to form a seal between the unitary gasket reflector and the light modifier.
