Publication number: 20130016504Abstract: A system for mounting a lighting fixture to a surface may include an elongate mounting member (“EMM”) and a retaining element. The EMM may include a first end, a second end, and a shaft therebetween. The second end of the EMM may be configured to connect to a fixture mounting screw that is attached to a mounting surface, and the EMM may be configured to be received by an aperture defined by a fixture pan of the light fixture. The retaining element may be configured to be removably attachable to a portion of the shaft of the EMM and, when attached to the EMM, configured to support a fixture pan of the light fixture while the fixture pan is separated a distance from the mounting surface. This allows an installer to perform operations between the fixture pan and the mounting surface without the installer having to support the fixture pan.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2012Publication date: January 17, 2013Applicant: Quoizel, Inc.Inventor: Thomas A.
