Claims19
A lighting unit comprising:
- a source of illumination;
- a support for said illumination source;
- means for connecting the illumination source to the support;
- and
- means on the support for simulating vegetation,
- said support including a base simulating a natural stem for the simulated vegetation,
- said base having a peripheral surface bounding a space,
- said source of illumination residing at least partially within the space bounded by the peripheral surface so that light from the illumination source projects from within the space bounded by the peripheral surface to externally of the base,
- whereby the lighting unit serves the dual purpose of a) producing the appearance of natural vegetation and b) providing illumination.

A lighting unit comprising:
- a source of illumination;
- a support for said illumination source having a peripheral surface and spaced ends and comprises a vertically extending member with a central axis;
- means for connecting the illumination source to the support so that light projects from said illumination source through approximately a full 360 around the peripheral surface of the support from a point approximately at the central axis of the support between the spaced ends of the support;
- and
- means on the support that is at least one of a) simulated vegetation and b) natural vegetation,
