Light fixture and mounting system

A light fixture, comprising:

• a bracket for mounting a light housing to a fixed surface, including:
• a securing member having a surface, said securing member being secured to the fixed surface;
• an extension projecting from said surface of said securing member in a generally perpendicular direction and having a cantilevered end, said extension for spacing apart said securing member from the light housing;
• a housing support placed at the cantilevered end of said extension and being spaced apart from said securing member and having a pair of inwardly tapered arms extending in a generally vertical direction upwardly from said cantilevered end for supporting the light housing when placed thereon;
• and
• a locating member extending in a generally vertical direction upwardly from said extension and placed adjacent to and in contact with said housing support for positioning the light housing;
• wherein said light housing includes:
• a receiver having a front side, a back side, a left side, and a right side, thereby defining a receptacle for placing said housing support inside said receiver;
• a lighting chamber having a top surface, a back surface, and at least one side surface, thereby defining a covering for containing a light source;
• a door for permitting access to said lighting chamber and having a window for permitting light to emanate from said lighting chamber through said window;
• and
• a portion of said door extending beyond a vertical plane of said housing support for preventing said housing from being removed from said bracket when said door is in the closed position.
