Adjustable and/or recessed light fixtures and related components and methods

A mount for a light fixture, the mount comprising:

• a base having:
• a sidewall extending between a first end and a second end to define an interior passageway, the first end defining an aperture;
• where the sidewall defines an outer perimeter;
• one or more mounting tabs movably coupled to the base, each mounting tab movable between:
• a deployed state in which at least a portion of the mounting tab extends outwardly from the base and beyond the outer perimeter;
• and
• a retracted state in which a majority of the mounting tab is disposed within the outer perimeter;
• and
• one or more retaining posts, each retaining post configured to be received within a slot defined by one of the one or more mounting tabs such that the retaining post engages respective ends of the slot to limit outward movement of the mounting tab beyond the deployed state and inward movement of the mounting tab beyond the retracted state.

A method for installing a light fixture, the method comprising:

• inserting a base of a mount into an opening in a wall, ceiling, or floor, the base comprising a sidewall extending between a first end and a second end, the sidewall defining an outer perimeter;
• and
• moving one or more mounting tabs coupled to the base, each mounting tab being moveable between:
• a deployed state in which at least a portion of each of the one or more mounting tabs extends outwardly from the base and beyond the outer perimeter;
• and
• a retracted state in which a majority of each of the one or more mounting tabs is disposed within the outer perimeter;
• wherein the one or more mounting tabs are in the retracted state when the mount is inserted into the opening of the wall, ceiling, or floor.
