Light fixture symbols help differentiate between types of lighting. Ceiling lights, for example, are often drawn as circles representing the light fixture itself. Solid lines extending from the circle show the direction of light or the fixture’s coverage area.
Meanwhile, wall lights are typically drawn as a half-circle or a large “D” shape. This distinct symbol helps distinguish them from ceiling fixtures and clarifies where they’re mounted.
