Form of lunette window / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about windows in architecture. For the community in the United States, see Fanlight, West Virginia. For the appliance, see ceiling fan.
A fanlight is a form of lunette window, often semicircular or semi-elliptical in shape, with glazing bars or tracery sets radiating out like an open fan.[1] It is placed over another window or a doorway,[2][3] and is sometimes hinged to a transom. The bars in the fixed glazed window spread out in the manner of a sunburst. It is also called a sunburst light.[4]
