    摘要: A light fixture may include a dome member including exterior and interior surfaces, and a panel positioned adjacent to the interior surface of the dome member. The panel may comprise carbon fiber. The panel may provide a mounting surface to which circuit boards including LEDs are mountable. The panel may include raised portions and recessed portions, which provide a mounting surface to which the circuit board(s) may be mounted. The circuit board may span the distance between adjacent raised portions of the panel, spanning a corresponding recess. Such a recess may provide for an air gap for improved air circulation. The fixtures may be used in corrosive environments, to provide a useful life that is extended relative to what the lifespan would be if the panel were not carbon fiber. Examples of corrosive environments include livestock facilities, enclosed agricultural facilities, coastal highways, sewage and other water treatment plants, etc.
