The concave faces of these disks are outwardly directed, and they are s aced apart and connected by a central tu ular member 14, which forms a chamber for a lamp, this chamber 0 ening through both of the disks. In front 0 each of the central apertures forming the o enings of this chamber there is placed a re ector 15, 16, suitably supported from the adjacent disks, as by" means of bracket arms 17, 18. These reflectors may be of glass or metal, as shown they are. of the latter material, and they are as 21, to permit access to the lamp.
