Abstract
A lighting fixture having a fixture housing, a transformer housing, and a locking means is suitable for installation in non-accessible areas. The transformer housing includes a first stop and second stop, and is pivotally engaged with an access aperture that is part of the fixture housing. The locking means serves to prevent pivotal movement of the transformer housing in relation to the access aperture. The lighting fixture may also have a fixture housing, a transformer recess, and a locking means. In this embodiment, the fixture housing includes an inner stop with which a transformer is pivotally engaged, and the transformer is retained in the recess by the locking means. The lighting fixture also includes a trim assembly.
