I am translating a list of office fixtures/supplies. I'm not sure what this is, but am supposing this is a sort of a frosted glass door/window to get natural light from outside?

light window
googled:
light-taking window = something very technical. not good.
light window - seems this is used in English
あかりど in Japanese is somehow hard to identify (nail) via google. あかり戸 was the most common version but it's from a somewhat famous poem. Not from commonly used language.
Still I believe it usually means a window for taking outside light in. I don't think it has to be 'frosted' though. I am not sure why it's considered as office supply/fixture.
