Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'lighting' (artificial light/use/arrangement) with 'fixture' (an item fixed in place): a fixed device for lighting. This noun‑noun compositional pattern is common and cross‑linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the phrase.
Etymology
The term lighting fixture comes from the two words lighting (the 'lights') and fixture (something fixed in place that 'holds' things). So it means a thing fixed to a wall or ceiling that 'holds' and powers 'lights', which is why today it refers to a mounted device for lamps or bulbs.
