The 2003 Design Problem

Design a light fixture that could be used to light a reading table in a library, mounted to the top of the table. Your fixture should use high efficiency fluorescent lamps, such as T5 or T2 linear lamps, compact fluorescent lamps, or even metal halide lamps. The ballast should be integral to the fixture. Self-ballasted lamps and other retrofit lamps are not acceptable. Identify all major interior and exterior components and materials. Describe how the light from your fixture supports the activities that take place at the library table. Describe how your fixture does or does not adapt to different architectural styles.
