Abstract
A light fixture may include a caged frame that includes spokes enclosing a globe. The frame may be configured to enable removal of one or more of the spokes to create clearance for replacement of a broken globe. The frame may include one or more frame bases. Each frame base may include inner and outer supports that retain ends of spokes therebetween when the fixture is assembled. The outer support may be configured to retain some spoke ends in a manner that may require a tool to remove them from the outer support. The inner support may be configured to enable one or more spoke ends to be removed from the inner support without a tool. The frame bases may be loosened to remove one or more removable spokes to create a temporarily larger clearance in the frame for globe replacement.
