Abstract: A light fixture is disclosed which is capable of being mounted flush with a ceiling without causing overheating of an associated junction box set into the ceiling immediately above the fixture. An upwardly and radially outwardly extending passageway is defined in the fixture between a ceiling cover plate having an upwardly and radially outwardly extending lower surface and a funnelform plate spaced below the ceiling cover plate. The funnelform plate has a center opening and light bulbs are disposed outwardly of the opening, beneath this plate. Passageways are dispose in an annular ring about the fixture and below the plate such that ambient air must pass across the lights to the center opening in the plate. The air may then pass through the upwardly and outwardly extending passageway as it is heated by the plate. The continual passage of air in this manner prevents overheating of the associated junction box located in the ceiling.
