Abstract
An improved louver assembly to be used in conjunction with a strip lighting fixture is disclosed. Louver assemblies can be used in series with rows of strip lighting fixtures to form an improved louvered lighting system. The louver assembly is comprised of two longerons which are parallel to and adjacent the lighting fixture. Two brackets mounted over the lighting fixture support the longerons and align them with longerons of adjacent assemblies. A set of louvers is attached to and between opposite longerons. The set of louvers has a stringer fin running transversely through the louver centers and two side baffles running transversely along the louvers' inside corners. The assembly can be swung open easily for access to the lighting fixture.
