Abstract
An indirect lighting system includes a housing which defines an outwardly facing reflector. Coupled centrally to the reflector and spaced therefrom is a removable shield which, in one embodiment of the present invention, covers a light mounted to the center area of the reflector, and in another embodiment of the present invention, includes the light source itself. The light positioned behind the shield in either embodiment is reflected by the relatively large area defined by the reflective housing.
