Abstract
A modular lighting fixture includes an elongated support and a plurality of objects such as crystals attachable to and suspendable from the support. A plurality of the modular lighting fixtures may be readily assembled and attached to or supported from a ceiling in various configurations such as being spaced-apart, in an elongated curtain, in a rectangle, and/or in a zigzag configuration. In one embodiment, the support includes an elongated upper member having a first width and a first length, an elongated lower member having a second width and a second length and being spaced-apart from the upper member, and wherein the first length equals the second length and the first width is greater than the second width. In another embodiment, an elongated modular lighting fixture includes a plurality of cable grips connected to the support for hanging the plurality of objects from the support.
