Light shades and lighting systems

A lighted ornament comprising:

• a first member having a first outer boundary with a desired first shape;
• a second member having a second outer boundary with a shape similar to the first member;
• a spacer fixedly coupled to the first and second members, the spacer configured to space apart the first and second members;
• an internal space defined by the first member, the second member, and the spacer, the internal cavity being large enough for at least one lighting element to be positioned therein, at least a portion of the first member being configured to allow light from inside the internal cavity to escape therefrom and the first member comprising features thereon for breaking up light;
• and
• at least one lighting element positioned within the internal cavity.

A lighting device comprising:

• a first sheet;
• a second sheet having light refractive properties and offset from the first sheet, the first and second sheets defining opposing outermost surfaces of a shape;
• a structure disposed between and fixedly coupled to the first and second sheets, the structure being configured to space apart the first and second sheets;
• and
• a light source positioned between the first and second sheets, the light source configured to emit light though at least one of the first and second sheets.

A method of manufacturing a lighting device, comprising:

• providing a first member, at least a portion of the first member having light refractive properties configured to allow light to pass therethrough;
• providing a second member, wherein the first and second members are configured to define opposing outermost surfaces of a shape;
• placing the first and second members on opposing sides of a structure, wherein the structure spaces the first and second members apart from one another;
• and
• fixedly coupling the first and second members to the structure with at least one fastener.
