Recessed light fixture retrofit kit

摘要

This disclosure relates to retrofit systems and methods for lighting installations, and in particular, to retrofit systems and methods used to retrofit troffer-style lighting installations with LED light sources. Retrofit systems can be used with different light fixtures, but those described are particularly adapted for use with troffer-style fixtures. These retrofit systems can provide the same amount of light as traditional light fixtures already do, for example 1600-4000 lumens or more. The retrofit systems can be used with many different light sources but are particularly well-suited for use with solid state light sources or light engines, such as those utilizing LEDs. Some embodiments of the present invention comprise a mechanical mounting system for installing an LED light engine within an existing lighting system housing or pan, such as a troffer pan, without penetrating the ceiling plenum.

主权项

1. A system for mounting a light source in a fixture, comprising:
at least two mounting brackets configured to be mounted within an existing light fixture, in which the mounting bracket further comprises a wire path for at least a wire providing power to the light source bar, in which the wire path comprises a covered portion enclosing at least a portion of the wire path, wherein said wire path runs orthogonal to said light source bar; and light source bars configured to engage each of the mounting brackets.
