Finding a Fixture For Your Situation
A light fixture is an electrical device used to create artificial light or illumination in architecture. A wide variety of special light fixtures are created for use in the automotive industry, aerospace, marine and medicine.
A complete lighting fixture unit consists of the light source or lamp, the reflector for directing the light, an aperture (with or without a lens), the outer shell or housing for lamp alignment and protection, a electrical ballast, if required, and connection to a power source.
Light fixtures are classified by how the fixture is installed, the light function or lamp type.
A sconce is a type of light fixture affixed to a wall in such a way that it uses only the wall for support, and the light is usually directed upwards. It does not have a base on the ground. The word applies both to traditional forms of torch lighting, but also to modern gas and electric light sources affixed in the same way.
