light fixture

Mounted illumination source

A light fixture is a device that holds a light source and connects it to electrical power—the complete assembly mounted to a ceiling, wall, or other surface.

The term encompasses chandeliers, sconces, recessed lights, and pendant lamps.

We replaced the outdated light fixtures throughout the house.

Often shortened to just fixture when context is clear.
