Abstract

Lighting fixtures provided with trim assemblies that prevent a vandal from rendering the fixtures inoperative or otherwise damaging or tampering with the fixtures, and further provides protection against damage due to accidental contact with the fixture. The fixtures generally include a mounting plate, a ceiling bracket, a reflector that houses a light source, and a bezel assembly. The ceiling bracket is supported on the ceiling by the mounting plate via the use of retainer brackets. The bezel assembly in turn is supported on the ceiling by the ceiling bracket. The bezel assembly includes a bezel housing and at least one tamper-resistant lens mounted in the housing. The bezel assembly serves to cover and protect the light fixture, particularly the light source housed in the fixture, from damage caused by intentional or accidental external forces.
