Shielding

Shielding is a type of protection that is used in lighting fixtures to prevent direct light from shining onto other objects or areas. This type of protection is particularly useful in commercial and industrial applications where it’s important not to cause too much glare or spill light into undesired locations. Shielding in lighting fixtures typically comes in the form of a lens, baffle or shade that surrounds the source itself. This can be made out of various materials such as aluminum, plastic, glass or even fabric depending on the design and its intended purpose.
