ABSTRACT:
The invention comprises, in one form thereof, a light fixture for retrofitting a non-recessed ceiling lamp, such as a pendant lamp, to an existing recessed light fixture. The light fixture includes a mounting bracket and a power adapter. The mounting bracket cooperates with screws that affix the existing, recessed light fixture to the existing mounting structure. The non-recessed lamp is mounted to the mounting bracket as it would normally be mounted to the ceiling. The recessed lighting baffle may be removed. The power adapter is screwed into the recessed light fixture's existing light bulb receptacle and includes an electrical outlet that receives a power plug that is wired to the non-recessed lamp's power cord. Alternatively, the power cord is wired directly to the power adapter.
