Abstract
A light shaping apparatus consisting of two or more components which may be die cast from aluminum, magnesium, or similar materials that are meant to be attached to existing LED venue lighting fixtures. These components are designed so that they can be rotated and adjusted on the fixture circumference/edge. A semi-circular snoot flares out slightly from the outer edge of the fixture to reflect light that would normally be absorbed by a visor. The snoot may include a reflector on its inside surface. The snoot has connection points that mate with the fixture. The snoot also has connection points which allow it to be connected to a semi-circular bowl spaded brow adapted for cutting into the beam of light and block some of light emitted from the fixture. The brow is preferably one piece and has multiple sets of thin shear lines cast into it such that the length of the brow can be modified by breaking off material along the shear lines.
