  • Patent number: 10393354
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved light assembly and alignment device. One embodiment of the assembly can have a spacer, a lid, a rod, a bracket, a guide, electronics, a cover and a nut. The spacer has a perimeter sidewall that is vented. A guide having a keeper and a body can be passed through a hole in the bracket. The rod can receive the body of the guide wherein the rod is aligned with the hole in the bracket. A nut at an end of the rod supports the cover by preventing it from sliding off from the end of the rod. The nut also is used to turn the rod so that it advances through the bracket hole to raise the assembly to the ceiling. Another embodiment has a square nut that is seated in a bracket when the rod is passed through a bracket slot.
