  • Patent number: 5349513
    Abstract: A ceiling-mountable light fixture adaptable for stand-alone use or use in connection with a ceiling fan is described. The fixture is mountable directly to a ceiling-mounted electrical junction box. The fixture is adapted to receive a suspension member, whereby a conventional ceiling fan may be suspended below the fixture, such that the fixture is positioned between the fan blades and the ceiling. The fixture is preferably pan-shaped, with a relatively flat base and an octagonal wall depending from the base. A distal portion of the wall is turned outwardly to define a flange which is positioned in facing contact with the ceiling when the fixture is mounted thereon. The fixture includes a central boss, which is elevated with respect to the base on a top side of the fixture, to define a recess on a bottom side thereof. The boss has a circular opening extending therethrough and an annular surface surrounding the opening.
