ABSTRACT:
A light fixture housing for fixtures generating substantial heat, wherein the fixtures include a lamp and socket connected to a core/coil energized by a capacitor and ignitor. The light fixture housing includes a housing including a first central compartment storing the core/coil, a second compartment storing the capacitor, and a third compartment storing the ignitor. A first internal wall separates and insulates the second compartment from the first central compartment and a second internal wall separates and insulates the third compartment from the first central compartment. The first internal wall includes a first opening permitting electrical connections between the capacitor and the core/coil to pass therethrough and the second internal wall includes a second opening permitting electrical connections between the ignitor and the core/coil to pass therethrough. The housing further includes a first mounting structure for supporting the lighting fixture housing and a second mounting structure for supporting the reflector below the light fixture housing. In use, the first central compartment, the second compartment, and the third compartment separate and insulate the capacitor and the ignitor from the core/coil to reduce the exposure of the capacitor and ignitor to the heat generated by the core/coil.
