Abstract
A unique fiber optic light fixture is provided which has a unique right angle design for ease of installation. The light fixture includes a molded housing which is lightweight, durable and compact. The light fixture is particularly attractive for lighting applications where space is at a premium and weight is an important consideration, such as the typical suspended ceiling in an office environment. The inventive lighting fixture provides “safe” and “cold” light as opposed to conventional heat generating lamps and ballasts, and may be mounted into walls, floors, ceilings, furniture, and any other space where exterior or interior lighting would normally be placed. The fixture includes a housing, wherein the interior has been coated with a metallic finish for reflectivity, a bezel for holding a variety of lenses and other optical accessories, retaining springs, and a brass nut bracket.
