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.

Alternatively, the one or more retention devices include a friction retention device.

Abstract: A plaster frame assembly includes a base plate that has a base wall and a plurality of side walls that extend substantially perpendicular to the base wall from a perimeter of the base wall. The base wall includes at least one regressed pad that has a plurality of perforations. The plurality of perforations receive one or more securing fasteners therethrough to secure or fasten the base plate to the ceiling. Furthermore, the base wall includes one or more sealing features that provide an air-tight sealing for a recessed housing can received through and retained in a can receiving opening formed in the base wall. The one or more sealing features include multiple collar sections that define a groove for receiving a sealing member, and one or more sealing tabs disposed between the multiple collar sections and configured to seal one or more adjustment apertures of the recessed housing can.

Abstract: A housing for a luminaire is disclosed. The housing can include a housing top and a housing body coupled to each other. The housing body can include at least one wall that is bendable to form a cavity. The housing body can also include at least one first housing body coupling feature disposed on a first end, and at least one second complementary housing body coupling feature disposed on the first end adjacent to the at least one first housing body coupling feature. The housing body can further include at least one second housing body coupling feature disposed on a second end, and at least one first complementary housing body coupling feature disposed on the second end adjacent to the at least one second housing body coupling feature.

Abstract: A frame piece of a frame for a luminaire is disclosed.
