Patent number: 10247389Abstract: A light fixture assembly includes a housing having an interior surface, a ballast mounted on the interior surface of the housing, a first reflector releasably coupled to the interior surface of the housing, the ballast being substantially enclosed between the housing and the first reflector when the first reflector is in a first, closed position and being exposed when the first reflector is in a second, open position spaced from at least a portion of the interior surface, a lens releasably coupled to the housing, the first reflector being substantially enclosed between the lens and the housing when the lens is in a first, closed position and substantially exposed when the lens is in a second, open position. This construction provides relatively easy and quick access to the ballast for replacement and from below the fixture if it is mounted in or on the ceiling.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2017Date of Patent: April 2, 2019Assignee: Hubbell IncorporatedInventors: Alan D. Seward, Martin C. Werr, David J. Rector, Randy K. Lewis, Raymond A. Brown
