Abstract
A light fixture includes a LED assembly and a housing. A lens assembly comprises a lens and a first end cap and a second end cap. The end caps are releasably connected to the housing such that the lens and the end caps are releasably mounted to the housing as a unit. The end caps may be releasably mounted to the housing by a deformable, resilient first engagement member that releasably engages a second engagement when the lens assembly is moved relative to the housing in a first direction. A force is created between the first engagement member and the second engagement member sufficient to hold the lens assembly in the housing and low enough that the lens assembly is removable from the housing by pulling the lens assembly in a second direction opposite to the first direction.
