ABSTRACT:
A ballast holder which can be fabricated from a single piece of bent sheet metal material, includes a gusseted riser structure, a base portion extending rearwardly from the foot of the riser structure, and a top flange portion extending in a forwardly direction from the top end of the riser structure for securing one of the mounting flanges of a ballast. The height of the rigid riser structure is chosen to be at least as great as the maximum height of a standard ballast to be held thereby. The ballast holder is used to install a ballast in an inverted position within a lighting fixture housing and can accommodate different sized ballasts. The ballast holder also reduces the amount of structure between the ballast and the overlying reflector element of the lighting fixture and thereby reduces the tendency of the ballast holding structure to bow or distort the lighting fixture's reflector where space is limited.
