Abstract: A debris shield for preventing debris from entering a light fixture device during a construction process while allowing the light fixture device to be used to illuminate an area where the construction process is taking place includes a transparent or translucent body and at least one projection arranged on or associated with the body for removably retaining the debris shield to the light fixture device. The debris shield can be removed from the trim ring after the construction process is completed by puncturing a closure covering an opening in the body of the debris shield and grasping the opening to pull the debris shield from the trim ring. Alternatively, the debris shield can be removed from the trim ring after the construction process is completed by grasping a pull tab on the body of the debris shield and using the pull tab to pull the debris shield from the trim ring.
