Meaning
灯具 refers to any device or apparatus used for lighting, including the complete unit of a lamp or light fixture. It encompasses both decorative and functional lighting equipment, from simple desk lamps to elaborate chandeliers. The term is commonly used in contexts related to home furnishing, interior design, and electrical goods.
Usage
This is a formal or semi-formal term commonly seen in retail contexts (furniture stores, home improvement centers), product descriptions, and interior design discussions. In casual conversation, people often just say 灯 (lamp/light). The word emphasizes the fixture as a complete product or piece of equipment rather than just the light source itself.
