IMPROVED SMALL PROFILE HANGER SYSTEM FOR CEILING SUSPENDED LIGHTING FIXTURES

摘要

An improved small profile hanger system for ceiling suspended lighting fixtures comprises a plurality of hanger assemblies 12, having a support stem 22, and a downwardly arced crossbar 20. Then support stem and crossbar have a relatively small elliptically profile having two sets of wire holes 35, having an inner hole 36, and an outer hole 38, overlapping the inner hole, the inner and outer hole defining an intervening gap narrower than the dimension of either hole. The holes are sized to receive an insulated wire; the intervening gap preventing the wire from crossing over into the adjacent hole. The wire holes support stem 22, are in communication with the wire holes of the crossbar providing a fully enclosed wiring passage from a ballast box assembly installed above a suspended ceiling to energize a lam in a diffuser 60 depending from a pair of the crossbars.
