Patent number: 11085621Abstract: A junction box-driver assembly includes a housing that is configured to route electrical wiring to a luminaire therethrough and house a driver module therein. The housing includes a back plate that defines a junction box cavity and a driver cavity that is disposed adjacent to and in fluid communication with the junction box cavity. Further, the housing includes a junction box cover that is coupled to the back plate and configured to cover the junction box cavity that is configured to route the electrical wiring therethrough and/or enclose wire connections therein. Furthermore, the housing includes a driver cavity cover that is removably coupled to the back plate to cover the driver cavity that is configured to house the driver module therein. The junction-box driver assembly further includes a mounting strut that is removably coupled to the housing and configured to releasably lock the junction box-driver assembly to a mounting frame.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2020Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Assignee: Signify Holding B.V.Inventors: John E.

Publication number: 20200278095Abstract: A configurable mounting frame includes a light fixture receiving opening having a first shape. The light fixture receiving opening is configured to receive a light fixture to mount the light fixture to a mounting surface. Further, the configurable mounting frame includes breakaway panels that are detachable to change the shape of the light fixture receiving opening from the first shape to a second shape that is different from the first shape. Furthermore, the configurable mounting frame includes locking features that are configured to toollessly and releasably lock an electrical or electronic component such as a junction box-driver assembly thereto.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 1, 2019Publication date: September 3, 2020Inventor: John E.
