A kit for joining together at least a pair of light fixture segments at a joint interface therebetween to form a light fixture assembly, comprises at least a pair of complementary coupling units, each coupling unit configured to be located in an operative position in one of said light fixture segments to join the other coupling unit at the joint interface defined by complementary abutment surfaces on said light fixture segments, at least one of the complementary coupling units being configured to be adjustably located in the operative position to displace another of the coupling units along a designated travel path toward a limit position, wherein the joining of the light fixture segments at the joint interface occurs in advance of the other coupling unit reaching the limit position.
A coupler for coupling together adjacent housing sections of a light fixture housing assembly, comprising at least one first boundary including at least one male portion or part thereof, and at least one second boundary including at least one female portion or part thereof, the male and female portions being interoperable when the coupler is used in groups of at least two, to enable the female portion of a first of the couplers and secured in a first of the adjacent housing sections to receive the male portion of a second of the couplers secured in a second of the adjacent housing sections, wherein each of the male and female portions are configured to receive a locking latch to latch the female and male portions together, thereby to form the assembled light fixture housing.
