light bar/horizontal light bar Explanation: Here is a link with a picture of a packing table. As you can see, the light is positioned above the table, horizontally. I would either just call it a light bar, or go with horizontal light bar. A picture is usually worth a thousand words. http://www.blanco.de/contens/en/data/pdf/cs_mc_pdf/blanco_mc... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2008-06-21 00:38:27 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- In case the link doesn't work, just google "Packtisch und Beleuchtung" and you'll find plenty of pictures. |

16 hrs confidence:
linear lighting fixture(s) Explanation: Since you asked ;-). The 'qeur' part is probably unimportant in English. A 'linear lighting fixture' is any sort of lighting fixture in the form of a relatively long rectangle (usually fluorescent fixtures), as often used in office and industrial environments. If such a fixture is relatively narrow, it can also be called a striplight. However, IMO striplights would not likely be used in a packing area because they would not provide enough light and they are normally used for decorative or incidental lighting. Although 'Lichtband' can mean a skylight, this is probably not the case here because the text says that the flatlights were used to replace the Querlichtband. Replacing a skylight with something else is possible, but it requires major strucural modifications, and in any case there would almost certainly be artificial lighting in addition to a skylight (and a skylight implies an open hall or the like). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 16 hrs (2008-06-21 12:11:54 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Tru googling images of Lichtband, striplight and linear lighting fixture. |
