A quick connect light fixture is provided which may be used in conjunction with and attached to a ceiling fan, or alternatively may comprise a ceiling-mounted light fixture or a wall-mounted sconce. The light fixture includes an adapter plate, which may be mounted to a structure such as a substantially flat lower surface of a ceiling fan switch housing, with the structure varying with application, and an electrical connector secured to the plate. The fixture further includes an open-ended bracket and a second, mating electrical connector secured thereto. The plate includes a pair of flanges which are configured to define a channel and the bracket includes a pair of sidewalls having a first portion integral with a web separating the sidewalls and a second portion terminating in a lip. The lips of the bracket slidingly engage the flanges of the adapter plate with a distal portion of each lip being disposed within one of the channels defined by the adapter plate flanges, whereby the mating electrical connectors engage one another. The light fixture further includes a hollow rod threaded into the bracket at one end thereof A locking member is also threaded onto the hollow rod so that a locking force is exerted between the lips of the sidewalls of the bracket and the flanges of the adapter plate.
