ABSTRACT:
A luminaire includes a light source mounted within a housing having an opening through which light from the source is distributed. The opening also provides access to the interior of the housing for maintenance of the light source and is closed by a cover which is at least partially translucent and which is hinged to the housing at one end and provided with a pair of spring loaded pins projecting from the sides thereof at the other end to hold the cover in closed position or to be retracted by means of clips to open the cover. The protection of the light source afforded by the housing is improved by an elongated rigid member adapted to extend between the clips of the pins to prevent the pins from being retracted. The clips include coaxial channels and the rigid member includes a reduced portion at one end and a retractable finger at the other end, both of which are dimensioned to be received in such channels.
