Everything about Light fixture
Electrical device with an electric lamp
A light fixture, light fitting or luminaire is an electrical lighting device containing one or more light sources, such as light bulbs, and all the accessory components required for its operation to provide illumination to the environment. All light fixtures have a fixture body and one or more light sources. The sources may be in sockets for easy replacement; in the case of some LED fixtures, they may be hard-wired in place.
