Apparatus, and a method for its use, that addresses the installation and maintenance of wall-mounted and ceiling-mounted light fixtures that otherwise would be partially assembled on-site during installation and use the industry-standard fixture bar, threaded nipple, lock nut(s), push nuts, and multiple screws. The present invention provides a factory assembled lighting fixture that includes a clutch ring, and is installed using a fixture bar, two screws, and a probe with a slotted distal end. Once the fixture bar and probe are attached to a junction box, and wiring terminations are made, the clutch ring attached to the fully assembled lighting fixture is simply pushed over the distal end of the probe to achieve secure and immediate installation. Thus, in commercial and industrial applications, although not limited thereto, use of the present invention would substantially reduce the time required for lighting fixture installation.
