LED board mounting system for a light fixture

An LED board mounting system, the system comprising:

• a fixture frame having a planar surface;
• a plurality of alternating bosses disposed along a length of the planar surface of the fixture frame and formed from the planar surface of the fixture frame, each alternating boss comprising a protruding band formed from a hole punched through the planar surface of the fixture frame;
• an LED board secured between the plurality of alternating bosses by a first edge and an opposing second edge of the LED board;
• a plurality of LEDs disposed along a length of the LED board;
• and
• a pair of electrical contacts coupled to the plurality of LEDs and the pair of electrical contacts extending through the planar surface.

A method of mounting an LED board to a fixture frame, the LED board having a plurality of LEDs mounted thereon and a pair of electrical contacts connected thereto, the method comprising:

• punching a hole through a planar surface of the fixture frame to form each of a plurality of alternating bosses on a first side of the fixture frame;
• aligning a first edge and opposing second edge of the LED board between the plurality of alternating bosses, wherein, the LED board is adjacent to the first side of the planar surface of the fixture frame;
• and
• securing the LED board to the fixture frame, the pair of electrical contacts extending through the planar surface.
