Abstract
A light fixture for mounting to the switch housing of a ceiling fan is provided for giving the light fixture an integral appearance with the ceiling fan. The light fixture has a hollow base which has an upper surface and a bottom which are spaced apart. The upper surface of light fixture is defined by a periphery which is surrounded by an upper portion of the base. The upper portion and upper surface define a recess for receiving the lower portion of the switch housing. In another embodiment, a light pan is mounted to the bottom of the base. The light pan is a circular member having a lower surface and a substantially flat inner portion. The pan is provided with an upwardly extending outer flange located around the periphery. The pan has a diameter which is substantially greater than the width of the base so that the base is not visible when viewed from below. A light or lights are attached to the lower surface of the light pan.
