Abstract
A light fixture includes a housing with an opening, wherein within the housing, a display with a front surface is positioned so that it is visible through the opening when a user looks at the light fixture from outside the housing. Additionally, an antenna of a wireless communication module is arranged behind the display in the viewing direction. This design effectively integrates the wireless communication module into the light fixture, concealing the antenna while optimizing space utilization, and enhancing the overall aesthetics and connectivity.
