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.

Claims

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 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.
