(54) A lighting fitting


(57) A lighting fitting comprises a housing (1,18) and a closure (4). The closure (4) has a frame (6) which includes a flexible fork like extension (7) which forms a seal with the ceiling in which the fitting is installed. The housing and closure have complementary connecting means comprising projections (9) and inverted U-shaped cross-section (17) which enable them to be connected together with a push fit. Adjustable brackets (25) may be provided so that the fitting can be adjusted in position within the ceiling after installation. The seal presents a substantially smooth transition between fitting and ceiling which facilitates cleaning and the push fit connection enables easy detachment for cleaning and lamp replacement.
