ABSTRACT:
An elevator car has a passenger space bounded by a pair of side walls and a ceiling with a fluorescent tube attached to the ceiling and a ceiling frame suspended from the ceiling and supporting translucent filler panels. An opaque middle ceiling strip is attached to the ceiling frame between two of the filler panels and below and in longitudinal alignment with the fluorescent tube. A pair of spot lamps are attached to an upper surface of the middle ceiling strip and are exposed through holes in the strip to illuminate predetermined areas of the side walls containing destination floor actuating elements and information panels for the floors. The middle ceiling strip has one side rotatably attached to the ceiling frame by a hinge connector for providing access to change the fluorescent tube and the spot lamps. The strip also is releasably retained by a locking bar on the other side thereof which engages the ceiling frame and can be released with the aid of a simple tool.
