Abstract

A light fixture includes a back plate that has a first securing element that is formed in at least one corner of a sidewall of the back plate. Further, the light fixture includes a cover that is configured to be coupled to the back plate. The cover includes a second securing element that is formed in at least one corner of the cover that is cut out such that at least a portion of the cover fits within a cavity formed by the sidewall of the back plate when the cover is coupled to the back plate in an electrical connection phase. In the electrical connection phase, the cover is coupled to the back plate by engaging the second securing element with the first securing element such that the cover hangs from the back plate and is substantially perpendicular to the back plate, and the cavity is exposed.
