A lighting fixture for use in a security detention facility. The lighting fixture includes a unitary housing adapted to be mounted to a surface in the security detention facility, a first bracket disposed within the unitary housing, and a light source coupled to the first bracket, the light source including a plurality of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). When the unitary housing is mounted to the surface in the security detention facility, the internal components of the lighting fixture (e.g., the light source) are not accessible, such that inmates of the security detention facility are unable to damage the internal components of the lighting fixture or access the internal components of the lighting fixture to hide weapons or contraband therein or use those components to harm themselves, other inmates, and/or security personnel.

Lighting fixture

A luminaire with various sensing and communication capabilities is provided. According to one aspect, the luminaire can include a housing, a light source disposed in the housing, a support element coupled to and extending downward from the housing, one or more communication modules disposed within the support element, and a motion sensor coupled to the support element. The one or more communication modules facilitate communication with a local controller disposed in the luminaire, a control system, and/or other luminaires. The motion sensor is configured to detect motion within a pre-determined range of the luminaire. The light source is configured to emit light responsive to the motion sensor detecting motion within the pre-determined range.

A detention facility lighting fixture includes an elongate unibody housing having a flat back wall, four sidewalls including symmetrically sloped and opposed lengthwise sidewalls and trapezoidally shaped end sidewalls, at least one top wall, and welded seams at each of four corners, a door having a lens frame, a lens, and at least two Z-channels securing the lens to the lens frame, and a hinge secured to the housing, where the door and housing are adapted so that the top surface of the door, when closed, is essentially flush with the at least one top wall. A method includes providing a lighting fixture having a unibody housing with a flat back portion and beveled sidewalls, the housing being structured to receive a lens-holding door, and sealing a perimeter of the lighting fixture to the wall or ceiling with a continuous bead of security caulk.
