ABSTRACT:
A U-shaped plastic heat shield is mounted over a control surface region of the metal cover of a halogen light fixture. A manually actuable rocker switch mounted in the cover extends through a switch aperture in the heat shield for turning a halogen lamp assembly ON and OFF, and for dimming the same. The heat shield is sized and configured so that a user's finger tips will not directly contact the metal cover when the switch is actuated. The heat shield is removably attached to the cover with the same bolt and nut that hold the cover to the metal backing plate of the light fixture. The heat shield reduces the amount of heat otherwise felt by the user when manually actuating the switch.
