Abstract
A door hinge for a luminaire is provided. The bezel section of the luminaire is affixed to the base section of the luminaire by such hinge. A hinge bar is affixed to an end of the bezel section, and a hinge plate is affixed to a base section of the luminaire. The hinge bar comprises an elongated bar of generally cylindrical cross section extending generally parallel to the end of the bezel section. The hinge plate comprises a hook shaped device generally flat in cross section and having a base section affixed to the luminaire base section, a curved middle section and a distal end section bent back toward the luminaire base section. The bezel section is rotatably mounted to the base section of the luminaire by the hinge. Upon the lifting of the bezel section, the hinge bar can be lifted from the hinge plate and the bezel section can be removed from the luminaire.
