A light fixture capable of being mounted on a downwardly-facing surface for illuminating a working surface therebelow. In one embodiment of this invention, the light fixture comprises a thin-profile backing plate, means for mounting the backing plate flat on the downwardly-facing surface, and a thin-profile cover having a bottom wall and side walls defining an interior space. Means associated with the backing plate and the side walls of the cover releasably attaches the cover to the backing plate so that the side walls of the cover extend down from the backing plate and the bottom wall of the cover is spaced below the backing plate. At least one opening is provided in the bottom wall of the cover, and at least one lamp assembly is mounted on the cover and contained substantially entirely within said interior space of the cover adjacent the opening in its bottom wall. The assembly includes a halogen lamp inside the interior space for emitting light in a generally downward direction onto the working surface when the cover is attached to the backing plate. Switch means mounted on the cover varies the intensity of light emitted. The switch means comprises an actuator mounted on the cover and accessible from the exterior of the cover, and circuitry in the interior space of the cover for electrically connecting the actuator and lamp to a power source. The backing plate is adapted to be mounted on the downwardly-facing surface without the cover attached thereto, the cover thereafter being releasably attachable to the backing plate to enclose the circuitry within the interior space. The backing plate and cover have sufficiently thin profiles that when the backing plate and cover containing the lamp assembly are assembled and mounted on a downwardly-facing surface, the overall height of the fixture is less than 1 inches.
