A light fixture capable of being mounted on a downwardly-facing surface for illuminating a working surface therebelow includes a backing plate and a cover having a bottom wall and side walls defining an interior space. The cover releasably attaches 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 adjacent the opening in its bottom wall. The assembly includes a halogen lamp for emitting light in a generally downward direction onto the working surface when the cover is attached to the backing plate. A switch mounted on the cover varies the intensity of light emitted. The switch includes 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 capable of being 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.
