  • METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR IMPROVING VERSATILITY AND IMPACT RESISTANCE OF LIGHTING FIXTURES
    Publication number: 20080089060
    Abstract: A lighting apparatus includes an LED-based lighting fixture having a housing and a gasketed face panel (e.g., a lens, diffuser or other optical cover), a protective flexible sleeve removably fitted over the housing, and a bezel for sealably retaining the gasketed face panel against the housing and connected to the housing with a non-adhesive connector, so that it can be readily removed therefrom. The flexible sleeve is made from a thermoplastic material and is removably secured over the lighting fixture by a compressive force. Applications for such lighting apparatus include theatrical and rental lighting, where fixtures are exposed to rigors of frequent handling.
