Lighting fixture including a color changing component

Abstract

A lighting fixture includes a housing, a light source, and a diffuser. The light source is mounted in the housing. The diffuser is also mounted in the housing such that light emitted from the light source is provided through the diffuser towards an area of interest. The diffuser is configured such that a color of the diffuser is based on one or more characteristics of the light emitted from the light source. Providing the diffuser such that the color thereof is based on one or more characteristics of the light emitted from the light source allows the aesthetic appearance of the lighting fixture to be changed. Further, it allows the lighting fixture to better simulate outdoor environments. Finally, it allows the lighting fixture to convey information to individuals near the lighting fixture without being disruptive.
