Abstract
A hinge assembly is provided for a lighting fixture whereby a bezel door is hinged to the fixture housing in a manner that it can be swung open from the open face of the housing but cannot be dropped or lose supported contact with the housing. The hinge assembly is located along one edge of the housing. The hinge assembly comprises a hinge hook portion typically an extension of the lower bezel door edge. The hinge hook is an open-faced, open-ended cylindrical structure having a centerpiece with a stud extending therefrom. The hinge bar comprises two axially aligned cylindrical sections extending typically from the lower edge of the housing. The hinge hook is fitted over the hinge bar sections and a fastener is placed over the hinge hook stud.
