Abstract
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.
