Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for accessing luminaire mounting and/or electrical connection compartments and components are disclosed. Embodiments include a front reflective door pivotally attached to a luminaire housing with a closed position covering an opening to the mounting access compartment and an open position allowing easy user access to the mounting feature(s) in the mounting access compartment. In some embodiments the door forms an exterior surface of the lighting fixture, while in additional embodiments the luminaire's light source is mounted on the luminaire housing and not on the door. In still further embodiments the light source is located externally to the mounting access compartment so that the light source is outside the door when the door is closed. In yet further embodiments the free end of the door is adjacent the light source while the pivoting end of the door is located away from the light source.
