b. at least three strips of LEDs (104) affixed along with upper and lower edge of said rectangular shape housing component (102), along with length of said rectangular shape housing component (102), for providing multi directional light to illuminate dents on automotive vehicles;

c. a white translucent lens (106), secured on a raceway (124) affixed to inner surface of the perpendicular extension (122) of said rectangular shape housing component (102) for accommodating the white translucent lens (106);

wherein the white translucent lens (106) is covering at least three strips of LEDs (104) affixed along with upper and lower edge of said rectangular shape housing component (102);

wiring for providing electric supply to said at least three strips of LEDs (104) and other components of said curved light emitting diode LED fixture (100);

d. at least two rubber cushion bumper (108) affixed to outer surface of the perpendicular extension (122) of said rectangular shape housing component (102) for ensuring scratch less operation of said curved LED fixture (100) when used without a stand and laid on a painted surface of automobile;

e. a set of power switches (110) affixed at the back of said rectangular shape housing component (102) for switching on, off and dimming said at least three strips of LEDs (104) affixed along with upper and lower edge of said rectangular shape housing component (102);

f. a power cord for providing electricity supply to at least three strips of LEDs (104) affixed along with upper and lower edge of said rectangular shape housing component (102);

g. a brass pivotal ball (112) affixed in middle of said housing component (102) with the help of a nut (118) and bolt (120) for enabling said curved LED fixture (100) to rotate at different angles when affixed with a stand;

h. a pair of metal plates (114) affixed in the middle of said rectangular shape housing component (102), from front and back side of said rectangular shape housing component (102) for supporting the brass pivotal ball (112) on said rectangular shape housing component (102) and passing through the power cord; and

i. a pair of side cap (126) affixed on the both edges of the perpendicular extension (122) of said rectangular shape housing component (102) for covering opened space left between the curved, rectangular shaped housing component (102) and white translucent lens (106).

2. ) The curved LED fixture (100) of claim 1, wherein the curved, rectangular shaped housing component (102) is manufactured from a material selected from a group comprising of polycarbonate and polypropylene.
