    Abstract: A panel light fixture kit for mounting to a planar surface of a dwelling. The kit includes a mounting plate for a flush mount to the planar surface. A frame mounts to and covers the mounting plate. The mounting plate includes alignment notches. The frame includes a tunnel cover that slides into the alignment notches to align the two parts during installation. The mounting plate further includes eyelet slots. The frame has attachment pins that slide into the eyelet slots to hold the frame to the mounting bracket. An LED light source inside the frame illuminates a light guide panel positioned at the bottom. In a T-bar drop ceiling application, the mounting plate is not needed. The frame includes bendable T-bar brackets that are bent to a hook shape that is fastened to the T-bar to affix the frame to the T-grid.

    Abstract: A power contact assembly for use with a system comprising track-mounted luminaires and track is disclosed. In some embodiments, electrical power for illumination is accessed by a luminaire through a power contact assembly in contact with an electrified railing recessed within a relatively narrow slot of the track. In some embodiments, mounting means are provided separately from and/or additional to the interaction of the power contact assembly with the power slot, comprising, for example, a magnetic mount. The track is optionally mounted flush and/or recessed with a mounting surface such as a ceiling and/or wall. In some embodiments, a recessed surface of the track is formed with an arc. Optionally luminaires conform with the curvature of the arc. Additionally or alternatively, the track is at least partially masked and/or decorated, for example by plastering and/or a face plate.
