Abstract: A method and system for providing an improved recessed luminaire includes providing the ability to rotate or shift the position of the junction box within the system. The improved system also provides an ability to shorten lengths of the hanger bar assemblies in an efficient manner during installation of the luminaire. A geometry of the end of the hangar bar assemblies may be modified to provide a more efficient design that also helps support fasteners. Additional improvements may include those for a spring to lock a door of the junction box; improvements for locking hanger bars to a plaster plate; improved mounting tabs for the plaster plate; an improved thermal protector case with enhanced coupling mechanisms; and improvements to a spring for locking a door of the junction box that improve compactness for the system to aid in shipping the system.
