Abstract
A closure for a lighting fixture includes a cover having interior and exterior surfaces that defines at least a part of an enclosure of the lighting fixture. In certain aspects, the cover comprises mounts for mounting circuitry to the interior surface of the cover and at least one attachment feature for affixing the cover to a cabinet of the lighting fixture. A light source and driver circuitry are also affixed to the cover. Because the driver circuitry and the light source are both mounted to the same cover of the lighting fixture, the light source may be replaced with an alternate light source having different voltage and current specifications, for example, by replacement of the cover with another cover. In this manner, light sources having different operating characteristics and specifications may be replaced or interchanged with relative ease.
