Abstract
A light fixture for receiving commercially available reflectors or diffusers having flexible walls and a plurality of flexible struts, has a housing with a socket for receiving a lamp or lamps. A power connection is provided for supplying electrical power to the socket and a plurality of receivers are connected to the housing, each for receiving a free end of a strut. A mount is connected to the housing for mounting the housing to a stand or tripod or other appropriate support. Each of the receivers which are preferably in the form of tubes or blind bores, are positioned so that the free end of each strut must be bent into a braced position and inserted into a receiver. This deploys the flexible wall of the reflector or diffuser into its open reflecting position.
