ABSTRACT:
A frame assembly for mounting a light in a door comprises inner and outer half-frames which sandwich a translucent panel therebetween. Each half-frame is substantially identically formed as a unitary member from sheet metal and has a plurality of substantially identical side members which define a closed polygon. Fasteners couple the half-frames to each other and secure the half-frames in the opening in the door. The fasteners can include a plurality of externally threaded fasteners which extend through holes in the half-frames and a plurality of plastic tubular retainers. Each tubular retainer has an axially extending bore coaxially aligned with one of the holes in each of the half-frames and threadedly receiving two of the fasteners in its opposite ends. The unitary nature of the frame and the fastener arrangement facilitate manufacture and assembly, while the fastener arrangement additionally provides a thermal break between the metal half-frames.
