Abstract
A lighting fixture component is in spaced relationship with a decorative material so as to leave the front and back side of the decorative material unobstructed. The decorative material is fixedly attached to, and enclosed by, the frame with a plurality of fasteners for attaching the decorative material to the frame by one edge wherein the edge is of sufficient thickness and hardness to support the decorative material.
Claims20
A light fixture, comprising:
- a plurality of light elements for radiating light;
- a light block connected to each light element, to provide support therefore;
- a plurality of frame elements connected to the light blocks, the frame elements holding the light blocks in a spaced apart relationship, each frame element having at least two edges defining a frame space between them, the frame space defining a surface with the frame element edges along boundaries of the frame space;
- a distributor connected to a first subset of the frame elements;
- wiring connected to the distributor and to each light element for conducting electrical current;
- and
- decorative material inserts removably attached to each frame element so as to substantially fill each frame space, each decorative material insert defining a surface corresponding to the surface defined by the frame space and having edges, wherein each decorative material insert edge is adjacent to, and coplanar with, a corresponding frame element edge.
