Bracket assembly for fluorescent lighting fixture having removable, high-frequency power output ballast

A method for attaching a bracket assembly for mounting and electrically connecting a pair of fluorescent bulbs to a ceiling-mounted fixture box, the box having a bottom opening, comprising the steps of:

• locating a first bracket adjacent to a first end wall of the fixture box through the bottom opening and fixedly attaching the first bracket to the fixture box;
• locating a second bracket adjacent to a second end wall of the fixture box opposite the first end wall and fixedly attaching the second bracket to the fixture box;
• electrically connecting the first bracket to a line power source, and attaching a removable ballast housing to the first bracket;
• electrically connecting the second bracket to the first bracket including electrically connecting the second bracket to a high-frequency power output of the ballast housing;
• providing a bulb reflector that directs reflected light from each of the two bulbs mounted in the brackets outwardly from the opening in a predetermined reflection pattern;
• and
• wherein the step of locating the first bracket and the step of locating the second bracket both include slidably moving mounting/connecting ends that each carry respective ones of the bulbs to a predetermined spacing with respect to each other.
