Abstract
Systems, devices, apparatuses, and methods for attaching and detaching a ceiling light. A mounting plate of a ceiling light may electrically connect with a light panel of the ceiling light using a plug and outlet connection. A mounting plate of a ceiling light may mechanically connect with a light panel of a ceiling light using one or more mechanical projections. Simultaneous electrical and mechanical connections between a mounting plate of a ceiling light and a light panel of a ceiling light may occur based on displacement of the light panel of the ceiling light relative to the mounting plate of the ceiling light.

1-20. (canceled)
A light fixture comprising:
- a mounting plate having one or more mounting plate projections and an electronic driver having a low voltage driver outlet,
- wherein a conductor of the mounting plate connects the electronic driver with an electricity source, and
- a light panel having a light source, a low voltage connector that aligns with the low voltage driver outlet for at least electrical connection, and one or more light panel projections that align with the one or more mounting plate projections for mechanical connection,
- wherein the one or more light panel projections are located on a first side of the light panel and the one or more mounting plate projections are located on a first side of the mounting plate, and
- wherein the low voltage connector is located on a second side of the light panel and the low voltage driver outlet is located on a second side of the mounting plate, and
- wherein the low voltage connector electrically connects with the low voltage driver outlet based on rotation of the second side of the light panel towards the second side of the mounting plate about a connection between the one or more light panel projections and the one or more mounting plate projections.
A light fixture comprising:
- a mounting plate having:
- an electronic driver including a low voltage driver outlet,
- a hooked mounting plate projection, and
- a notched mounting plate projection;
- and
- a light panel having:
- a light source,
- a notched light panel projection aligning with the hooked mounting plate projection for mechanical connection, and
- a light panel projection lever aligning with the notched mounting plate projection for mechanical connection, and
- a low voltage connector that aligns with the low voltage driver outlet for electrical connection.
A light fixture including:
- a mounting plate including:
- an electronic driver including a low voltage driver outlet,
- a hooked mounting plate projection, and
- a notched mounting plate projection;
- and
- a light panel including:
- an LED,
- a low voltage connector that aligns with the low voltage driver outlet for electrical connection,
- a notched light panel projection that receives the hooked mounting plate projection, and
- a light panel projection lever that is received by the notched mounting plate projection.
