Claims13
A light fixture comprising:
- a support means for supporting the components of the light fixture;
- a light source holding means mounted on the support means;
- a light source means adapted to be held by the light source holding means;
- an inner refracting lens that is mounted to the light fixture such that the light source means is situated in the interior of the inner refracting lens, said inner refracting lens comprising means for refracting light emitted from the light source means;
- a globe assembly, said globe assembly being mounted to the light fixture such that is encloses the inner refracting lens;
- and wherein the globe assembly comprises an opaque top, said opaque top comprising a reflective inner surface.
