IF I have a lighting fixture with direct light, however, the fixture's glass is translucent / white glass. i.e. I can't see the light source through it but can only see a white lit surface,
Does this still count as direct-only fixture?

Can you say more about the fixture? Is it decorative?
When speaking about "direct light", this includes things like linear fixtures that have an acrylic or polycarbonate lens, but where the light points down, as well as ceiling mounted fixtures with a diffuser around it. It doesn't mean that you have to be able to see the actual LEDs. It would be my thinking, without knowing more about the fixture, that your fixture would still be considered "direct light".

Hi ,
I have a similar question on Strategy D. Will the fixture with a direct component, can be exempted and need not be accounted under Strategy D, if it has an indirect component such as Pendant mounted Direct/Indirect linear downlight? Or we need to prorate the wattage based on the percentage of up/downlighting?
