1. A photosensitive interior lighting fixture which comprises:
- a light source;
a housing supporting the light source; and
a photosensitive layer at least partially covering the light source, wherein the photosensitive layer is in a low transmittance state under ambient interior lighting conditions and becomes transparent upon illumination of the light source.

Abstract
An interior or exterior design lighting assembly with a photosensitive sheet member in spaced relation to said assembly capable of aesthetically concealing its inner componentry by having said photosensitive sheet member adapting a darkened appearance when said assembly is in its de-energized state. When the light assembly is energized said photosensitive sheet member will render its darkened state to adapt a transparent state allowing for full light transmission to occur.
