ABSTRACT:
A universal ballast mounting structure for fluorescent lamp fixtures has two spaced mounting plates on opposite sides of the ballast. One of the plates is adapted to be pivotally mounted to the cover of a junction box, and has an opening therethrough to enable wiring to extend from the interior of the ballast to the interior of the fixture or junction box. A snap latch or screw may be used to fix the mounting plate in a closed position. The second plate is provided with mounting ears on its opposite ends to permit the mounting of the plate to a fixture which has wiring extending from the ballast directly into the fixture. In another embodiment of the invention, the pivotal plate may be replaced by a plate with bolt ears which are offset from the ears of the second mounting plate.
