enclosed fluorescent fittings Explanation: I'm sure JCEC has got it right of course; but in practice, I think something along these lines is more what we would call this type of lighting unit for use on building sites. 'ruggedized fluorescent fittings' might also work; I suggest you do a bit of research around these sorts of terms if you want to check out the most commonly-used variants. HTH ! |

bowl-type fluorescent luminaires / lamp fittings Explanation: << bowl - ... (2) A light diffuser over a luminaire, often made of acrylic sheet>> TITS (oops! maybe I should spell that out - That Is TO Say), I assume the "vasque" encloses fluorescent lamps, and is not itself a "fluorescent" coloured plastic, which could always be a possibility. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 hrs 23 mins (2005-02-20 11:07:34 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Above quote from Scott/Penguin Dict. of Building |
