Abstract
A lighting louver and process steps for forming at least portions of a louver are described in which the louver may include a “V” shaped louver body with opposed sides that diverge from a narrow end that include a vertex of the “V” shape, to a wide end. At least one integral hinge at the narrow end joins medial portions of the opposed sides along a singular fold line. The medial portions contact one another at a location adjacent to the singular fold line. At least one inward closure tab overlaps the wide end of the louver body.
