Patent number: 9557022Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED) light fixture for attachment to a recessed electrical connection enclosure includes a luminaire with a frame having a non-round form. The light fixture includes a luminaire rotatably joined to a mounting member at a rotary connector. The mounting member has least one fastener for attaching the mounting member to a mounting fixture of the recessed electrical connection enclosure. The luminaire may be rotated relative to the mounting member attached to the mounting fixture of the recessed electrical connection enclosure, to orient the non-round frame of the luminaire in a desired orientation. The mounting member may be a mounting bar, and may include first and second fasteners at opposite ends of the mounting bar. Various types of fasteners may be employed for attachment to the mounting fixture of the recessed electrical connection enclosure, such as torsion springs, tension clips, J-box bracket clips, and twist-and-lock fasteners.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2015Date of Patent: January 31, 2017Assignee: Ever Venture Solutions, Inc.Inventor: John Araki
