A bracket for mounting a cover to a lighting unit. The bracket includes a mounting portion and a supporting portion that are pivotally connected together. The mounting portion includes a support surface to contact against and support the cover. The supporting portion is movable relative to the mounting portion between an open position away from the mounting portion and a closed position in proximity to the mounting portion to support the cover over the lighting unit. A lock includes a first arm on the mounting portion and a second arm on the supporting portion. The first and second arms are positioned to engage together to secure the supporting portion in the closed position.

Lighting components for illuminating an aisle portion of a cabin floor of an aircraft, and aircraft and passenger seats for an aircraft including the same are disclosed. Said lighting components are configured to illuminate at least a portion of the aisle, between adjacent passenger seats positioned on either side of the aisle. The lighting components are configured to direct light towards the cabin floor using a specially designed housing and reflector surface that are designed to illuminate objects in the aisle, while minimizing light pollution in the cabin and detection by passengers on board the aircraft. Said lighting components are optionally mounted on one or more passenger seats, and/or may be integrally formed with a passenger seat. Lighting components include a curved reflector surface configured to reflect light from a light source positioned within the housing such that it is directed towards the aisle to create the desired illumination.
