Abstract
A lighting fixture includes a vertical center column, at least one light element operatively attached to the center column, and a plurality of vertical panes. An attachment mechanism is configured to attach the panes to the center column so that the panes, when attached to the center column, extend radially outward from the center column and so that the panes are releasably detachable from the center column outside the center column.
Claims36
