The present disclosure provides a cover for a light source and a method for making a cover for a light source.

A method for manufacturing a lamp shade cover includes feeding a planar sheet of plastic material to a printer. The method may include printing a design for one or more lampshade covers on the planar sheet of plastic material using the printer and die cutting the planar sheet to create one or more cut-out portions shaped to be bent, folded, or rolled into a three-dimensional lamp shade cover shape. The cut-out portions may include a portion of the design printed using the printer. The method may also include attaching a fastener to a first end and a second end for selectively fastening the first end to the second end to hold the cut-out portions in the three-dimensional lamp shade cover shape.

The present application relates to a panel structure for stamping of an integrally formed lamp panel. The panel structure for stamping of the integrally formed lamp panel at least includes a reflective film layer, an adhesion layer, a base material layer and a protective layer, wherein the reflective film layer is arranged on one surface of the base material layer through the adhesion layer, and the protective layer is arranged on the other surface of the base layer; the base material layer includes a metal layer, and a chemical treatment layer arranged on at least one surface of the metal layer, the base material layer can be integrally formed lamp panel with the reflective film layer. The present application has the following beneficial effects: the panel structure can be applied to stamping of the integrally formed lamp panel; the yield is increased and the production efficiency is improved.

A method for producing a luminaire housing on an additive manufacturing system includes selecting a luminaire housing base shape from which a data file of a first convex polyhedral model is built, rescaling the first convex polyhedral model into a larger convex polyhedral model, filling the larger convex polyhedral model with multiple versions of the first convex polyhedral model, separating larger convex polyhedral shape model into structural unit shape, and providing the data file containing the structural unit shapes to the additive manufacturing system. In some implementations an interior volume of the larger convex polyhedral shape model can be cleared of portions of first convex polyhedral model. The method includes the additive manufacturing system producing one or more structural units based on the structural unit shapes described in the electronic data file. A non-transitory computer readable medium, and a luminaire housing including a light source are described.

Devices, systems and methods of converting the necks on lamp shades into threadable couplers that allow the shades with the couplers to be screwed onto the exterior threads on light sockets, such as those types of sockets found on wall mounted and ceiling mounted candelabras and ceiling fans. The couplers can include plate members that are fastened in a sandwich configuration on both the inside and outside of the neck portion of the shade with the sandwiched plate members having an interior threaded surface. Modified lamp shades can be screwed to exterior threaded light sockets on candelabra lights, pendant lights, ceiling fan lights, and any other type of lamp sockets that have removable lamp shades.

Laminated light-blocking decorative articles are prepared by applying an aqueous foamed opacifying composition to a decorative fabric, drying, laminating a non-woven fabric to the resulting dry foamed opacifying layer, and densifying that layer to have a thickness that is at least 20% less than before densifying. This operation can be carried out so that non-woven fabric, decorative fabric, and aqueous foamed opacifying composition are supplied in a single-pass, in-line operation to make any quantity of laminated light-blocking decorative article. The applied aqueous foamed opacifying composition has 35%-70% solids and a foam density of 0.1-0.5 g/cm.sup.3. It is composed of (a) porous particles, (b) a binder material, (c) two or more additives comprising at least one foaming surfactant and at least one foam stabilizer, (d) an aqueous medium, and (e) at least 0.0001 weight % of an opacifying colorant that absorbs electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength of 380-800 nm.
