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 comprising a structure attached thereto, wherein the first and second members are configured to define opposing outermost surfaces of a shape;
- placing the first and second members together wherein the first and second members are on opposing sides of the structure, wherein the first and second members are spaced apart from one another and wherein the first and second members are generally planar and generally parallel to one another;
- placing at least one lighting element positioned between the first and second members;
- and
- fixedly coupling the first and second members together between the structure with at least one fastener.
The method of claim 1, wherein the structure comprises a third member that is generally planer and generally parallel to the second member, and the fastener comprises a bushing and rivet.
A lighting device manufactured in accordance with the method of claim 2.
