ABSTRACT:
An arrangement for mounting an enclosed light fixture housing having an open end with a flange formed about the periphery thereof, in recessed fashion in an aperture defined in a planar support member having inner and outer surfaces, with the flange of the housing engaging the outer surface, includes a side wall of the housing defining a T-shaped slotted aperture with the longer leg of the T extending from the shorter leg toward the open end of the housing, and having ratchet teeth formed along an edge of the longer leg of the T, and a mounting clip receivable in the slotted aperture from the interior of the housing after the housing is received in the aperture in the support member. The mounting clip is captured in the slotted aperture and slidable toward and away from the inner surface of the support member. A first tab of the mounting clip is engagable with the last-mentioned surface of the support member and a second tab of the mounting clip engages the ratchet teeth to lock the first tab in place, thereby releasably securing the housing on the support member.
