Light fixtures often have bright spots caused by the light sources that can be unpleasant or uncomfortable to look at. A light device is provided that diffuses the light, which includes an internal cavity defined in the body of a flexible shroud extending transversely from an opening defined in a first end frame to an opening defined in a second end frame of the shroud. The first and the second end frames are removably connectable to each other to form a circular configuration of the flexible shroud. The internal cavity also extends in the circular configuration. A light board is attached to one of the end frames and at least partially covers the opening of the given end frame. In the circular configuration, the light board is sandwiched between the first and the second end frames.
