Light fixture accessory mount

A method of assembling a light fixture, the method comprising:

• providing a light fixture having a panel defining a plurality of openings;
• providing an accessory module for the light fixture, the accessory module comprising circuit components mounted on a printed circuit board of the accessory module;
• providing a clip comprising:
• a body having top and bottom major surfaces;
• a plurality of standoffs protruding from the top major surface, each of the standoffs including a support surface spaced above the top major surface of the clip;
• a plurality of upper spring clips protruding above the top major surface, each of the upper spring clips including a column and a hook feature on the column, wherein the vertical distance between the support surfaces of the standoffs and the bottoms of the hook features of the upper spring clips is sized to accommodate the thickness of the printed circuit board of the accessory module such that the hook features of the upper spring clips engage edges of the printed circuit board of the accessory module and constrain the printed circuit board of the accessory module over the support surfaces;
• and
• a plurality of lower spring clips protruding below the bottom major surface of the clip, each of the lower spring clips including a column and a hook feature, wherein the vertical distance between the bottom major surface and the hook features of the lower spring clips is sized to accommodate the thickness of the panel of the light fixture, and wherein the lower spring clips engage the panel and constrain the clip to the panel;
• snapping the printed circuit board of the accessory module into the clip;
• and
• snapping the clip into the panel.

A clip for mounting an accessory module to a panel of a light fixture, the clip comprising:

• a body having top and bottom major surfaces;
• a plurality of stepped standoffs protruding from the top major surface, each of the stepped standoffs including a support surface spaced above the top major surface of the clip, and at least some of the plurality of stepped standoffs including a locating pin extending above the respective support surface;
• a plurality of upper spring clips protruding above the top major surface, each of the upper spring clips including a column and a hook feature on the column, wherein the vertical distance between the support surfaces of the standoffs and the bottoms of the hook features of the upper spring clips is sized to accommodate the thickness of a printed circuit board of the accessory module such that the hook features of the upper spring clips are configured to engage edges of the printed circuit board of the accessory module and constrain the printed circuit board of the accessory module over the support surfaces while the locating pins protrude into holes in the printed circuit board of the accessory module;
• and
• a plurality of lower spring clips protruding below the bottom major surface of the clip, each of the lower spring clips including a column and a hook feature, wherein the vertical distance between the bottom major surface and the hook features of the lower spring clips is sized to accommodate the thickness of the panel of the light fixture, and wherein the lower spring clips are configured to engage the panel and constrain the clip to the panel.
