LUMINAIRE MOUNTING STRUCTURE

摘要

A luminaire 100 having a housing 102 with a column 146 extending therefrom and a bracket 400 secured to the column 146, the bracket 400 having a body 404 and two wings 406 extending from opposing sides of the body 404, at least a portion of each wing 406 extending in a direction at least partially away from the column 146. The mounting bracket 400 allows installation of the luminaire 100 to a structure 210, such as a ceiling or canopy, by inserting the luminaire column 146 and bracket 400 into an aperture 210a in the structure 210 from the underside of the structure. The aperture edge forces the wings to flex inward as the column advances through the aperture until the wings pass the aperture edge and spring outward to hold the luminaire to the structure. The mounting bracket thus facilitates quick attachment of the luminaire to the structure and allows attachment of additional mounting hardware to further secure the luminaire to the structure.
