Abstract

A lighting fixture includes a first housing portion and a second housing portion. The first housing portion includes a base and a wall extending outwardly from substantially the perimeter of the base. A top portion of the wall includes one or more hinges extending outwardly therefrom. The second housing portion includes a front panel and a side panel extending outwardly from substantially the perimeter of the front panel. A top portion of the front panel includes at least one slot. The second housing is coupled to the first housing in an open position when the hinge is inserted into the slot and the front panel is disposed elevationally above the base. The second housing is coupled to the first housing in an operational position when the hinge is inserted into the slot and the front panel covers the base.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A light fixture comprising:
a housing comprising:
a mounting box forming a first cavity and comprising an aperture for one or more electrical supply lines; and
a cover box that fastens to the mounting box, the cover box forming a second cavity, the cover box comprising:
a first side that faces the mounting box when the cover box is fastened to the mounting box;
a sealing panel extending from the first side and into the second cavity, the sealing panel engaging the mounting box when the cover box is fastened to the mounting box;
a second side that faces away from the mounting box when the cover box is fastened to the mounting box, the second side comprising a curved surface; and
a lower portion that extends below the mounting box when the cover box is fastened to the mounting box;
a recess in the lower portion of the cover box;
at least one light emitting diode (LED) oriented to emit light from the recess; and
a driver that is mounted to the cover box and electrically connected to the at least one light emitting diode.

2. The light fixture of claim 1 , wherein the sealing panel is similar in size and shape to the mounting box.

3. The light fixture of claim 1 , wherein the cover box comprises heat sink fins.

4. The light fixture of claim 1 , wherein the lower portion of the cover box comprises heat sink fins.

5. The light fixture of claim 1 , further comprising a reflector mounted in the recess.

6. The light fixture of claim 5 , wherein the LED is disposed at an aperture of the reflector.

7. The light fixture of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of projections on the mounting box, the plurality of projections configured to support the cover box during installation of the light fixture.

8. The light fixture of claim 1 , wherein when the cover box is fastened to the mounting box, the driver is disposed in an enclosed volume defined by the cover box and the mounting box.

9. A light fixture comprising:
a housing comprising:
a mounting box having a first length, the mounting box forming a first cavity and comprising an aperture for one or more electrical supply lines; and
a cover box that fastens to the mounting box, the cover box having a second length that is longer than the first length, the cover box comprising:
a second cavity that faces the mounting box when the cover box is fastened to the mounting box;
a rear surface on the inside of the second cavity;
a sealing panel extending from the rear surface and into the second cavity, the sealing panel engaging the mounting box when the cover is fastened to the mounting box;
a lower portion that extends below the mounting box when the cover box is fastened to the mounting box; and
a recess in the lower portion of the cover box;

at least one light emitting diode (LED) oriented to emit light from the recess; and
a driver that is mounted within the housing and electrically connected to the at least one light emitting diode.

10. The light fixture of claim 9 , wherein the sealing panel is similar in size and shape to the mounting box.

11. The light fixture of claim 9 , wherein the cover box comprises heat sink fins.

12. The light fixture of claim 9 , wherein the lower portion of the cover box comprises heat sink fins.

13. The light fixture of claim 9 , further comprising a reflector mounted in the recess.

14. The light fixture of claim 13 , wherein the LED is disposed at an aperture of the reflector.

15. The light fixture of claim 9 , further comprising a plurality of projections on the mounting box, the plurality of projections configured to support the cover box during installation of the light fixture.

16. The light fixture of claim 9 , wherein when the cover box is fastened to the mounting box, the driver is disposed in an enclosed volume defined by the cover box and the mounting box.

17. A light fixture comprising:
a housing comprising:
a mounting box having a first length, the mounting box forming a first cavity and comprising an aperture for one or more electrical supply lines; and
a cover box that fastens to the mounting box, the cover box having a second length that is longer than the first length, the cover box comprising:
a second cavity that faces the mounting box when the cover box is fastened to the mounting box;
a rear surface on the inside of the second cavity;
a sealing panel extending from the rear surface and into the second cavity, the sealing panel engaging the mounting box when the cover is fastened to the mounting box; and
a lower portion that extends below the mounting box when the cover box is fastened to the mounting box, the lower portion comprising at least one light emitting diode (LED) oriented to emit light from the cover box; and

a driver that is mounted within the housing and electrically connected to the at least one light emitting diode.

18. The light fixture of claim 17 , wherein the sealing panel is similar in size and shape to the mounting box.

19. The light fixture of claim 17 , wherein the lower portion comprises at least one reflector.

20. The light fixture of claim 17 , further comprising a plurality of projections on the mounting box, the plurality of projections configured to support the cover box during installation of the light fixture.
