Abstract
A lighting fixtures are provided. An exemplary fixture may include a housing, a light source disposed in a lower portion of the housing, an opaque wall positioned in the housing to provide at least a partial upper boundary for the lower portion, and a decorative ornament, disposed within the housing. The light source is configured to direct light at least partially downward from the lower portion of the housing. The opaque wall prevents light directed from the light source from being emitted outside the housing above a horizontal plane intersecting a lowermost point on the fixture from which light is emitted. The decorative ornament is visible from outside the housing. Another exemplary fixture may include both (a) at least one functioning light source that is shielded in such a manner that light rays emitted by the fixture, either directly from the functioning light source and/or indirectly from the fixture, are not projected above an imaginary horizontal plane running through the lowest point on the fixture where light is emitted and (b) at least one non-functioning light source that is visible from at least one side of the fixture.
