ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A retaining clip is shown which is used to secure a lens element within a light fixture during a dislodging event, such as an earthquake or contact with a person or object. This clip protects persons below from injury by the falling lens element or by falling glass, should the lens element or the light bulbs become broken during the event. The clip includes a jaw portion which securely fastens the clip to the light fixture and a tail portion which provides a flattened surface on which the lens rests and a downturned portion to facilitate removal of the clips from the light fixture. The upper jaw and tail portion effectively create an extension of the frame to provide a wider ledge on which the lens may then rest. No tools are required for the installation or removal of the clips, and the clips are easily removed from the light fixtures for replacement of bulbs or for other maintenance.
