### Claim 1

A luminaire comprising:
an enclosure;
an end plate located at or near a side of the enclosure, wherein the end plate has an aperture that traverses therethrough; and
a mounting accessory including a base, wherein the base includes at least one depressable tab, wherein the depressable tab is slideable through the aperture of the end plate, wherein as the tab slide through the aperture of the end plate, the tab engages the end plate to couple the mounting accessory to the enclosure, wherein the tab is configured to be depressed to uncouple the mounting accessory from the enclosure, wherein the mounting accessory is coupled to the enclosure and decoupled from the enclosure without use of tools.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The luminaire of claim 1, wherein the end plate is integral to the enclosure.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The luminaire of claim 1, wherein the mounting accessory comprises a spring.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The luminaire of claim 1, wherein the mounting accessory comprises a coiled spring.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The luminaire of claim 1, wherein the mounting accessory comprises a bracket.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The luminaire of claim 1, wherein the mounting accessory is removable from the enclosure by depressing the tab and sliding at least a portion of the base and depressed tab back through the aperture of the end plate.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The luminaire of claim 1, wherein the end plate comprises a side rail.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The luminaire of claim 7, where the end plate includes at least one side rail and the base of the mounting accessory engages the at least one side rail.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The luminaire of claim 8, wherein a portion of the tab of the mounting accessory extends into the opening of the end plate when the mounting accessory is attached to the end plate.

### Claim 10

A luminaire comprising:
an enclosure;
an end plate located at or near a side of the enclosure, wherein the end plate has an aperture that traverses therethrough;
a mounting accessory including a base, wherein the base includes at least one depressable tab, wherein the depressable tab is slideable through the aperture of the end plate, wherein as the tab slide through the aperture of the end plate, the tab engages the end plate to couple the mounting accessory to the enclosure, wherein the tab is configured to be depressed to uncouple the mounting accessory from the enclosure; and at least one rail located on the enclosure near the end plate, where the base engages the at least one rail when the base is slide through the aperture of the end plate.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The luminaire of claim 10, wherein the at least one rail is integral to the enclosure.

### Claim 12

A luminaire comprising:
an enclosure;
an end plate located at or near a side of the enclosure, wherein the end plate has an aperture that traverses therethrough; and
a mounting accessory including a base, wherein the base includes at least one depressable tab, wherein the depressable tab is slideable through the aperture of the end plate, wherein as the tab slide through the aperture of the end plate, the tab engages the end plate to couple the mounting accessory to the enclosure, wherein the tab is configured to be depressed to uncouple the mounting accessory from the enclosure, wherein the mounting accessory comprises a flexible blade.

### Claim 13

A luminaire comprising:
at least one end plate located at or near a side of the luminaire, wherein the at least one end plate has an aperture that traverses therethrough and at least one side rail; and
a mounting accessory including a base and a spring coupled to the base, wherein the base slides along the at least one side rail of the at least one end plate, and wherein the mounting accessory includes a tab that engages the aperture of the at least one end plate coupling the mounting accessory to the at least one end plate, wherein the tab is configured to be depressed to uncouple the mounting accessory from the at least one end plate, wherein the mounting accessory is coupled to the at least one end plate and decoupled from the at least one end plate without use of tools.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)

The luminaire of claim 13, wherein the at least one side rail is integral to the at least one end plate.

### Claim 15 (depends on 13)

The luminaire of claim 13, wherein the at least one end plate is integral to the luminaire.

### Claim 16 (depends on 13)

The luminaire of claim 13, wherein a portion of the tab of the mounting accessory extends into the opening of the at least one end plate when the mounting accessory is coupled to the at least one end plate.
