ABSTRACT:
An arrangement for mounting a unit incorporating a lighting control motion switch therein to either a wall or to a ceiling. Disclosed is the mounting of a unit housing the lighting control motion switch to either a wall or ceiling through the intermediary of a novel clip-on mounting bracket, subsequent to securing the clip-on bracket to the wall or ceiling. In order to provide the novel mounting arrangement for readily mounting the entire unit to either a ceiling or to a wall, there is provided the clip-on bracket structure which includes an inverted U-shaped element adapted to be inserted through a recess formed in the back of the back housing portion and to pass upwardly through an aperture in the upper end of the recess into contact with the inner surface of the rear wall thereof. A detent is formed on either the bracket or the rear wall of the housing, and is adapted to be engaged by a protrusion, so as to latch the entire unit into fixed engagement on the clip-on mounting bracket, while enabling the front housing portion to be pivotably adjusted as may be required by the particular intended physical application.
