Abstract: An assembly for releasably attaching a junction housing to a ceiling panel for a recessed lighting fixture. The assembly is in the form of a spring clamp and includes an outer section located over and movable along an outer surface of the housing when the housing is received within an opening in the panel, and an inner section movable along an inner surface of the housing when the housing is received within the opening in the panel. The inner section includes a finger-engageable element spring-biased to a locking position for locking the housing onto the panel, engageable by a user's finger to move the spring clamp to a releasing position releasing the housing for movement within the panel to a locking or releasing position with respect to the housing.

Abstract: The installation of reduced diameter potlamps for use with high intensity halogen bulbs is greatly facilitated by using a connector box having the step-down transformer mounted upon one end of the box, and connecting with and spaced from the lamp pot by way of a rigid wiring channel that serves as a spacer bridge. This type of lighting is generally installed in upwardly recessed relation in a dropped ceiling having small diameter apertures in its surface within which the pot lights are inserted. The connector box and its transformer are dimensioned to be inserted upwardly through the restricted aperture into which the small diameter pot of the halogen light is fitted. The connector box has removable side doors for maximum access to the interior of the box, and knock-outs on the top and bottom sides and on the free end, for optimum convenience in making circuit connections thereto. A drop-leg spacer maintains the assembly in upwardly spaced relation from the inner surface of the dropped ceiling.
