ABSTRACT:
A luminaire support apparatus for suspending and selectively positioning a pendant luminaire from a suspended ceiling is disclosed. The luminaire mounting stem may be positioned directly beneath a support member of the suspended ceiling. The support apparatus includes a base for carrying a ballast and an electrical junction box, and is selectively positioned between adjacent, parallel support members along a first axis parallel to the ceiling. A bracket which receives the luminaire mounting stem is mounted to a cylindrical stem projecting through a ceiling tile. The bracket receives a lower end portion of the stem, normally axially aligning the mounting stem with the cylindrical stem or offsetting the axial alignment should the mounting stem be positioned directly beneath the support member. The base receives a pair of clips selectively along a second axis parallel to the ceiling and perpendicular to the first axis. The clips mount the upper end portion of the stem to the base.
