Light fixture joining system

A linear lighting system comprising:

• a first linear light fixture comprising a first frame having a top wall, a first side wall, and a second side wall, wherein the top wall has an aperture that traverses therethrough toward its distal end;
• a second linear light fixture comprising a second frame;
• and
• a joining system configured to join the second linear light fixture to the first linear light fixture, the joining system comprising:
• a pulling apparatus comprising a proximal portion, a first distal portion, and a second distal portion;
• a bracket coupled to the frame of the first linear light fixture, wherein the bracket comprises a frame receiving feature and a pulling apparatus receiving feature, wherein the frame receiving feature is configured to be slidably coupled to the frame of the second linear light fixture, and wherein the pulling apparatus receiving feature is configured to slidably couple to the proximal portion of the pulling apparatus;
• a first anchor coupled to the first side wall of the frame of the second linear light fixture, wherein the first anchor comprises a first pulling apparatus coupling feature that is configured to couple to the first distal portion of the pulling apparatus;
• a second anchor coupled to the second side wall of the frame of the second linear light fixture, wherein the second anchor comprises a second pulling apparatus coupling feature that is configured to couple to the second distal portion of the pulling apparatus;
• and
• a gripper coupled to the pulling apparatus receiving feature of the bracket, wherein the gripper comprises a channel that passes therethrough, wherein the channel is configured to have the proximal portion of the pulling apparatus slidably disposed therein, and wherein the gripper reduces slack in the pulling apparatus between the gripper and the first anchor and the second anchor,
• wherein a distal end of the distal portion of the pulling apparatus is configured to traverse through the aperture in the top wall of the frame of the first linear light fixture, and wherein the second linear light fixture is pulled along the bracket toward the first linear light fixture when a sufficiently large upward force pulls the distal end of the distal portion of the pulling apparatus.
