ABSTRACT:
A modular light fixture specially adapted for flexible, cost-effective, and safe retrofit and maintenance, particularly in large commercial lighting applications. The light fixture preferably includes a frame with one or more lampholders and a detachable power pack with a ballast, with modular connectors used to provide an electrical connection between the detachable power pack and the lampholders. Other aspects of the invention relate to methods of redeploying lighting, and a modular light fixture kit, for example to be used in lighting retrofit and maintenance.
