Abstract: A new and improved outdoor luminaire and a method which provides for quick and easy installation of electrical components. The outdoor luminaire includes a housing; a terminal block; a unitized electrical components subassembly which is removably affixable to the housing; a seat area formed in the housing's interior; a stud affixed to the unitized components subassembly; and a cover for the housing. The cover requires no fasteners and thus, further eases the installation or replacement of electrical components. The method of securing electrical components includes: opening the housing's cover at the pry point; inserting the lower end of the electrical components subassembly in the housing; pivoting the top end of the electrical components subassembly into the housing; rotating the quarter turn fastener to secure the electrical components subassembly in the housing and snapping the cover onto the housing.

Abstract: A unitized electrical component mounting device and no more than three fasteners quickly secures a capacitor, a starter and a ballast in their preferred positions within a housing. Versatility is provided by providing for detachable appendages of different sizes for securing ballasts of different sizes in place within the housing.
