Abstract

A decorative light fixture includes a light engine and a shroud. The light engine includes a heat sink and a light source in thermal communication with the heat sink. The shroud covers the light engine to define an air path between an air inlet and an exhaust. The air inlet is disposed vertically below the exhaust. The air path is shaped to direct air over the heat sink and to exit the shroud above the light engine.
