Abstract

A unitary light shield for use with a color picture tube lighthouse has non-reflective sides, the edges of which are curved to conform with the intensity pattern of the exposing lamp. An apertured bottom member also is non-reflective of light. The device substantially reduces the exposure of the sidewalls of the panels by penumbra and scattered light.
