Abstract
A frame piece of a frame for a luminaire is disclosed. The frame piece can include an inner surface, a first frame coupling feature disposed at a first end of the frame piece, and a second frame coupling feature disposed at a second end of the frame piece. The first frame coupling feature can be configured to mechanically couple to the second frame coupling feature of a first adjacent frame piece. The second frame coupling feature can be configured to mechanically couple to the first frame coupling feature of a second adjacent frame piece. The inner surface forms a partial opening through which a light source component can traverse.

1-20. (canceled)
A frame for a luminaire, the frame comprising:
- a body;
- at least one housing coupling feature disposed at a first location of the body, wherein the at least one housing coupling feature is configured to couple to a housing of the luminaire;
- at least one first junction box coupling feature disposed at a second location of the body, wherein the at least one first junction box coupling feature is configured to detachably couple to a junction box of the luminaire, wherein the junction box, when coupled to the at least one first junction box coupling feature, is disposed in a first position relative to the housing of the luminaire;
- and
- at least one second junction box coupling feature disposed at a third location of the body, wherein the at least one second junction box coupling feature is configured to detachably couple to the junction box of the luminaire, wherein the junction box, when coupled to the at least one second junction box coupling feature, is disposed in a second position relative to the housing of the luminaire.
A luminaire comprising:
- a frame comprising:
- a frame body;
- at least one first junction box coupling feature disposed at a first location on the frame body;
- and
- at least one second junction box coupling feature disposed at a second location on the frame body;
- and
- a junction box comprising:
- a junction box body comprising at least one wall that forms a cavity;
- and
- at least one first frame coupling feature disposed on the junction box body,
- wherein the at least one first frame coupling feature of the junction box is configured to be removably coupled to the at least one first junction box coupling feature and the at least one second junction box coupling feature of the frame,
- wherein the junction box has a first orientation with respect to the frame when the at least one first frame coupling feature is coupled to the at least one first junction box coupling feature, and
- wherein the junction box has a second orientation with respect to the frame when the at least one first frame coupling feature is coupled to the at least one second junction box coupling feature.
A junction box for a luminaire, the junction box comprising:
- a body comprising at least one wall that forms a cavity;
- and
- at least one first frame coupling feature disposed on the body,
- wherein the at least one first frame coupling feature of the junction box is configured to be removably coupled to a plurality of first junction box coupling features disposed at a plurality of locations on a frame of the luminaire.
