Abstract

A light fixture having a reflector for directing light beams generally in a first direction, such as an indirect lighting reflector, which has a tab that is partially punched out and bent to reflect a restricted spot of light in an opposite direction. This permits the highlighting or illumination of an area on the back side of the reflector without extra bulbs and without ugly add-on reflectors.
