The first housing portion includes a base and a wall extending outwardly from substantially the perimeter of the base. A top portion of the wall includes one or more hinges extending outwardly therefrom. The second housing portion includes a front panel and a side panel extending outwardly from substantially the perimeter of the front panel. A top portion of the front panel includes at least one slot. The second housing is coupled to the first housing in an open position when the hinge is inserted into the slot and the front panel is disposed elevationally above the base. The second housing is coupled to the first housing in an operational position when the hinge is inserted into the slot and the front panel covers the base. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A light fixture comprising: a mounting box forming a first cavity; and a cover box that fastens to the mounting box, the cover box comprising: a second cavity that faces the mounting box when the cover box is fastened to the mounting box; a sealing panel within the second cavity, the sealing panel engaging the mounting box when the cover box is fastened to the mounting box; a lens; at least one light emitting diode (LED) oriented to emit light through the lens; a driver that is mounted within the light fixture and electrically connected to the at least one light emitting diode; and a reflector mounted in the cover box, wherein the at least one LED is disposed at an aperture of the reflector. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The light fixture of claim 1, wherein the mounting box comprises one or more walls on which a gasket sits, the sealing panel engaging the gasket on the one or more walls of the mounting box when the cover box is fastened to the mounting box. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The light fixture of claim 1, wherein the cover box comprises heat sink fins. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The light fixture of claim 1, wherein a lower portion of the cover box comprises heat sink fins. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The light fixture of claim 1, further comprising a plurality of projections configured to support the cover box during installation of the light fixture. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The light fixture of claim 5, wherein the plurality of projections are on the mounting box. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The light fixture of claim 1, wherein when the cover box is fastened to the mounting box, the driver is disposed in an enclosed volume defined by the cover box and the mounting box. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The light fixture of claim 1, wherein when the cover box is fastened to the mounting box, the driver is disposed in an enclosed volume defined at least in part by the cover box. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The light fixture of claim 1, wherein when the cover box is fastened to the mounting box, the driver is disposed in an enclosed volume defined at least in part by the mounting box. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The light fixture of claim 1, wherein the mounting box has a first length and the cover box having a second length that is longer than the first length. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The light fixture of claim 1, further comprising: a plurality of projections on the mounting box, the plurality of projections configured to support the cover box during installation of the light fixture. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The light fixture of claim 1, further comprising: a plurality of slots on the cover box, the plurality of slots engaged with a portion or projection of the mounting box to support the cover box during installation of the light fixture. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The light fixture of claim 1, wherein the at least one LED includes at least one white LED and one non-white LED. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The light fixture of claim 1, wherein the lens and cover box enclose the at least one LED. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The light fixture of claim 1, wherein the driver is dimmable. ### Claim 16 (depends on 1) The light fixture of claim 1, wherein the cover box includes a plurality of internal fins, wherein the driver is in thermal contact with one or more of the plurality of internal fins. ### Claim 17 (depends on 1) The light fixture of claim 1, wherein the mounting box includes an aperture allowing a pass through of at least one wire between an interior of the mounting box and a support structure. ### Claim 18 (depends on 1) The light fixture of claim 1, further comprising: a gasket disposed between the mounting box and the cover box when the cover box is fastened to the mounting box.
