The bracket is attached to an installation surface. The bracket has a bracket hook. The bracket hook is extended downwardly from the installation surface. The bracket hook has a horizontal part and a vertical part. An angle between horizontal part and the vertical is between 60 degrees to 120 degrees. The fixing unit has a plug, an elastic device and a unit housing. The plug has a first end and a second end. The plug and the elastic device are disposed in the unit housing. The second end is coupled to the elastic device. There is an adjustable entrance with a first diameter between the first end of the plug and the unit housing. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A lighting apparatus, comprising: a bracket to attach to an installation surface, wherein the bracket has a bracket hook, wherein the bracket hook is extended downwardly from the installation surface, wherein the bracket hook has a horizontal part and a vertical part, wherein an angle between horizontal part and the vertical is between 60 degrees to 120 degrees; a fixing unit having a plug, an elastic device and a unit housing, wherein the plug has a first end and a second end, wherein the plug and the elastic device are disposed in the unit housing, wherein the second end is coupled to the elastic device, wherein there is an adjustable entrance with a first diameter between the first end of the plug and the unit housing; and a light body having a back cover, a light source and a light opening, wherein the fixing unit is coupled to the back cover, wherein to install the light body to the installation surface, the adjustable entrance is enlarged by applying an external force to the fixing unit against an elastic force of the elastic device for the horizontal part of the bracket hook to pass through the adjustable entrance, wherein after the horizontal part of the bracket hook passes through the adjustable entrance, the elastic force recovers the adjustable entrance to the first diameter for coupling the fixing unit to the bracket to install the light body to the installation surface. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The lighting apparatus of claim 1, wherein the fixing unit further comprises a stop unit originally disposed at a first stop position of the fixing unit, wherein after the horizontal part of the bracket hook passes through the adjustable entrance, wherein the stop unit is moved to a second stop position of the fixing unit so that the vertical part of the bracket hook is fixed between the first end of the plug and the stop unit. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The lighting apparatus of claim 2, wherein the stop unit has multiple pins respectively corresponding to multiple parameters, wherein one of the multiple pins is selectively to moved to engage the vertical part of the bracket hook to select the parameter associated to the selected pin. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The lighting apparatus of claim 3, wherein the light body has a controller for detecting the detected pin to determine a light configuration to drive the light source. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The lighting apparatus of claim 3, wherein the bracket hook is coupled to a ground. ### Claim 6 (depends on 3) The lighting apparatus of claim 3, wherein the light source comprises a first LED module with a first light parameter and comprises a second LED module with a second light parameter, wherein the first light parameter is different from the second light parameter, wherein the multiple pins correspond to different mixed light parameter by mixing lights from the first LED module and the second LED module. ### Claim 7 (depends on 2) The lighting apparatus of claim 2, wherein the stop unit comprises a stop screw movable toward the vertical part of the bracket hook. ### Claim 8 (depends on 2) The lighting apparatus of claim 2, wherein a controller of the light body detects whether the stop unit is at the second position, wherein if the controller finds that the stop unit is not at the second position, the controller drives the light source to issue a warning light pattern. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The lighting apparatus of claim 1, wherein the elastic device is a spring unit deformed when the adjustable entrance is enlarged. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The lighting apparatus of claim 9, wherein a button is coupled to the plug to enlarge the adjustable entrance to detach the fixing unit from the bracket hook. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The lighting apparatus of claim 1, wherein there are multiple fixing units disposed on different positions of the light body. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The lighting apparatus of claim 1, wherein the fixing unit further comprising a lock unit, wherein the lock unit is movable to engage the plug so that the second end of the plug is confined between the lock unit and the vertical part of the bracket hook. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The lighting apparatus of claim 12, wherein the fixing unit further comprises a screw, when the second end of the plug engages the horizontal part and the vertical part of the bracket hook, the screw is rotated to move toward the plug so that the second end of the plug is confined between the screw and the vertical part of the bracket hook.
