A light emitting device includes a hollow truncated spherical housing
having an inner surface and an outer surface. The housing is
substantially transparent. A light source, that generates a plurality of
light rays, is positioned with respect to the housing to minimize an
angle of incidence associated with each of the plurality of rays as they
intersect the inner surface of the housing thereby minimizing the
refractive effects of the housing as the rays of light generated by the
light source pass through the housing.
