Funny Luminaire Names

I have been teaching an intro to lighting class this month (and haven't been updating the blog...whoops!) While giving the lecture on luminaires I noticed how many light fixtures are named for their shape - it's kind of fun.

Cobrahead. Standard roadway light fixture.

---

Eyeball. Recessed adjustable light that protrudes from the ceiling.

---

---

Acorn. An outdoor decorative post-top fixture.

---

---

Teardrop. An outdoor decorative drop-down fixture.

---

---

Wagon Wheel. 

---

Sometimes these light fixtures are literally made out of old wagon wheels, but this sketch is a modified version.

Bug-eyes. Wall mounted emergency light.

---

---

Well light. A fixture that is in the ground, but flush with the surface.

---

---

Strip light. Like a line. Or think of it this way: this fixture is pretty much stripped to its bare essentials: lamp, ballast, sockets.

---

Have I missed some? Does any lighting jargon make you chuckle?
