  • Patent number: 7618167
    Abstract: A recessed light fixture mountable to a panel. The panel defines a panel aperture extending therethrough. The recessed light fixture includes a housing, the housing defining an end wall and a side wall extending from the end wall. The side wall defines a side wall edge substantially opposed to the end wall. The housing further defines a housing flange extending substantially peripherally and outwardly from the side wall substantially adjacent the side wall edge. A retaining clip is mounted to the housing. The retaining clip includes a clip mounting element mounted to the housing. A clip body is also included in the retaining clip and defines a retaining flange. The retaining flange is located outside of the housing in a substantially parallel and spaced apart relationship relatively to the housing flange when the retaining clip is mounted to the housing in an operative configuration.
