Abstract: A light fixture mounting system which aids in quickly, easily, and safely connecting a light fixture to a junction box. The light fixture mounting system generally includes a mounting plate adapted to be electrically and mechanically connected to a junction box. The mounting plate includes contacts comprised of metallic material such that an electrical fixture may be magnetically secured to the mounting plate. Magnets on the electrical fixture will magnetically engage with the contacts to magnetically secure the electrical fixture to the mounting plate. Current from the junction box will pass through the contacts and magnets to power the light source. A relay switch and reed switch are also utilized in combination with a central magnet on the electrical fixture to stop current flow if the electrical fixture becomes partially or fully dislodged from the mounting plate.
