Mounting assembly for lighting apparatus and methods of installation thereof

An assembly for mounting a ceiling flush mount light or sconce, comprising:

• a mounting bracket comprising a bracket plate body, an elongated flat hook disposed at a first longitudinal end of the bracket plate body, an angled guidance tab disposed at a second longitudinal end of the bracket plate body opposite the first longitudinal end, and a plate opening defined along the bracket plate body in between the first longitudinal end and the second longitudinal end, wherein the mounting bracket is configured to be mounted to at least one of a wall junction box and a ceiling junction box;
• a mountable enclosure comprising a mating tab extending from a first enclosure end of the mountable enclosure and a threaded port defined along a second enclosure end of the mountable enclosure opposite the first enclosure end, wherein the mating tab is configured to be hooked onto the elongated flat hook of the mounting bracket to allow the mountable enclosure to hang from the mounting bracket and to rotationally pivot toward the mounting bracket, wherein the mountable enclosure is configured to be coupled to a part of the ceiling flush mount light or sconce;
• and
• a threaded fastener configured to be screwed into and through the threaded port and into contact with the angled guidance tab to secure the mountable enclosure to the mounting bracket when the mating tab is hooked onto the elongated flat hook and the mountable enclosure encloses the plate opening of the mounting bracket.

A method of mounting a pendant light, comprising:

• fastening a mounting bracket to a ceiling junction box, wherein the mounting bracket comprises a bracket lower plate, a U-shaped slot defined along part of the bracket 2 lower plate, and two inclined tabs extending from the bracket lower plate;
• sliding a hanger down the two inclined tabs into the U-shaped slot to hang the hanger from the mounting bracket;
• and
• screwing a strain relief having a pendant light cord extending therethrough into a threaded inner channel of the hanger to clamp the strain relief to a segment of the pendant light cord, wherein the pendant light cord is connected to the pendant light.

A method of mounting a ceiling flush mount light or sconce, comprising:

• fastening a mounting bracket to at least one of a wall junction box and a ceiling junction box, wherein the mounting bracket comprises a bracket plate body, an elongated flat hook disposed at a first longitudinal end of the bracket plate body, and an angled guidance tab disposed at a second longitudinal end of the bracket plate body opposite the first longitudinal end;
• hooking a mountable enclosure coupled to a part of the ceiling flush mount light or the sconce onto the elongated flat hook of the mounting bracket, wherein the mountable enclosure comprises a mating tab extending from a first enclosure end of the mountable enclosure and a threaded port defined along a second enclosure end of the mountable enclosure opposite the first enclosure end, wherein the mating tab is configured to be hooked onto the elongated flat hook of the mounting bracket;
• and
• rotationally pivoting the mountable enclosure toward the mounting bracket and screwing a threaded fastener into and through the threaded port and into contact with the angled guidance tab to secure the mountable enclosure to the mounting bracket when the mating tab is hooked onto the elongated flat hook.
