1. A light emitting diode (“LED”) apparatus comprising:
an elongated housing;
a light emitting source disposed at a first end of the elongated housing;
a reflector disposed in the housing and extending from the first end of the elongated housing towards a second end of the housing; and
a gradient optics coupled to the reflector and comprising a varying transparency, wherein the varying transparency progressively increases as the gradient optics extends from the first end of the housing towards the second end and extends towards a center of the housing based on material variations of the gradient optics comprising several types of materials that are layered on top of each other along an interior surface of the housing to provide the increasing transparency.
