Claim:
A vandal resistant luminaire having a rear trim ring, said rear trim ring surrounding an outer rear portion of an electrical component housing of said luminaire, said rear trim ring being constructed to absorb physical shock to protect said vandal resistant luminaire from said physical shock, said rear trim ring having a substantially circular side wall spaced from said housing, a substantially flat rear mating edge, and a front surface about a front opening suitable for mounting substantially flush with an outwardly extending rim on said electrical component housing, thereby substantially eliminating pry points between said electrical component housing and a surface to which it is mounted, and substantially eliminating hold points about a rear portion of said luminaire; wherein said side wall has a rear opening with a larger radius than said front opening forming an annular space between an inner surface of said rear trim ring and said electrical component housing; said annular space is filled with a shock absorbing material.
