LIGHT FIXTURES

A light fixture or luminaire is an electrical device used to create artificial light by use of an electric lamp. They may also have a switch to control the light. A wide variety of special light fixtures are created for use in the automotive lighting industry, aerospace, marine and medicine. 

In fact normal people like us can also use this at their homes because it has other features too such as reflectors for directing the light, an aperture (with or without a lens), an outer shell or housing for lamp alignment and protection etc.

                                             

  

There are many types of fixtures such as -

Chandeliers - Large, centralized light sources; Hang from the ceiling and have multiple light fixtures on the same unit; Traditionally an elegant look, though many now have modern designs.

   

    Pendant lights - Also hang from the ceiling; Have a single fixture; Come in a wide variety of  styles and are ideal for providing spot lighting in a dining area; Chandeliers may also include  numerous pendant lights.

Recessed lightings - The fixtures in where the lights are not visible directly but a little recessed inward or outward. Light fixtures are in ceilings or in floors; Provides a very elegant and modern look by providing plenty of light; Also keeps sight lines clean and uninterrupted.

Accent lightings - Comprised of small fixtures that light up small areas within a restaurant; Example would be a strip of small LED lights under the top of a bar.

Fixture manufacturing began soon after production of the incandescent light bulb. When practical uses of fluorescent lighting were realized after 1924, the three leading companies to produce various fixtures were Lightolier, Artcraft Fluorescent Lighting Corporation, and Globe Lighting in the United States.
