Abstract
A luminaire mounting assembly for mounting a LED light fixture to a pair of support beams. The luminaire mounting assembly includes an elongated plate and a movable plate. The elongated plate includes opposed sides and a flange extending from each of the opposed sides. The side walls and flanges define parallel tracks therebetween. The movable plate includes having a mounting hole and is adapted to slidably engage each of the parallel tracks. A knockout plate spans the mounting hole and is removably connected to the movable plate via a breakable member. Once the movable plate is suitably positioned and the mounting assembly is fastened to the support beams, the knockout plate is removed and the mounting hole is ready to receive the thin LED light fixture.

A luminaire mounting assembly, for use in a building having a pair of support beams, each of the support beams having an outer surface, to be covered with a sheet of wallboard, for securing a luminaire to the support beams and the sheet of wallboard, comprising:
- an elongated plate for securing to the outer surface of the support beams, the elongated plate having a first end, a second end, and a pair of opposed sides, the elongated plate having a pair of parallel tracks extending along the opposed sides;
- a movable plate extending between the parallel tracks such that the movable plate is adapted to slide between the first end and second end within said parallel tracks, the movable plate having a mounting hole adapted for receiving the luminaire.
A luminaire mounting assembly, for use in a building having a pair of support beams, each of the support beams having an outer surface, to be covered with a sheet of wallboard, for securing a luminaire to the support beams and the sheet of wallboard, comprising:
- an elongated plate for securing to the outer surface of the support beams, the elongated plate having a first end, a second end, and a pair of opposed sides, the elongated plate having a pair of flanges that define a pair of parallel tracks extending along the opposed sides, the flanges are separated by a flange distance;
- a movable plate having a movable plate width that is greater that the flange distance, the movable plate mounted to extend between the parallel tracks such that the movable plate is adapted to slide between the first end and second end within said parallel tracks, the movable plate having a mounting hole adapted for receiving the luminaire.
