11.5.7 Light Fixtures

light fixtures

A lighting fixture is the frame or housing for holding the lamp in position and for protecting it from damage.  Light fixtures should be selected and located to maintain the minimum foot-candle requirements for safety and security purposes.  Beyond that, aesthetic considerations should take precedence.

Lighting fixtures are grouped into five general categories:

• Cut off lighting

• Utility lighting

• Bollard lighting

• Spotlighting

• Wall mounted lighting
