Abstract: A low-profile lighting fixture particularly suitable for low and medium height mounting installations. The lighting fixture includes a housing assembly comprising a base member and first and second end sections at opposite ends of the base member. The first and second end sections respectively contain a power supply ballast transformer and capacitor for the fixture. An upstanding bracket supporting a horizontally-oriented lamp-receiving socket is attached to the base member intermediate to the first and second end sections, and a generally-rectangular reflector having an opening therein is mounted to the base member in line with and intermediate to the first and second end sections with the lamp-receiving socket extending horizontally into the interior of the reflector via the opening in the reflector.
