TECHNICAL FIELD

The presently disclosed subject matter relates generally to light fixtures. Particularly, the presently disclosed subject matter relates to light fixture installation adapters and methods thereof.

BACKGROUND

Light fixtures are common in many residences, office buildings, and even place of manufacture. These devices are typically affixed to a ceiling and powered by electrical wires installed in the ceiling. The ends of the electrical wires extend through a hole in the ceiling where the light fixture is connected to the ends of the electrical wires and attached to the ceiling. The light fixture is oriented for providing light to the room when power to it is turned on.

An electrical junction box is typically placed inside the ceiling hole. The electrical wire ends are routed through a hole in the electrical junction box. The electrical junction box has mounts for attachment of the light fixture.

Light fixture installation can be a cumbersome process for a variety of reasons. For example, often a ladder is needed so that the installer can reach the ceiling where the light fixture is being attached. This can be 8 feet or higher from the floor, so it is desirable for the installation to be as quickly and easily as possible. However, the attachment mechanism can have many parts that must be connected while the installer is on the ladder at the electrical junction box. Further, the light fixture must sometimes be mounted in a precise position, such as flush against the ceiling, such that it is visually appealing.

In view of the aforementioned needs, there is a desire to provide improved equipment and techniques for light fixture installation.
