Abstract: A mounting system has a box which is open at one end and a plate dimensioned to cover the opening. A disengagable pivot is positioned at one edge of the box and plate. A hooking mechanical connection is located at the opposite end of the box and plate. The light fixture is attached to the system and the system is in turn attached to an overhead structure. The plate and box engage each other at the pivot so that the plate does not initially cover the open end of the box. Thereafter, the plate may be rotated on the pivot and be secured against the open end of the box by the hooking mechanical connection.
