Abstract
Described are embodiments of a light engine installation kit and methods of installation that allow a single technician to install large, heavy, or awkwardly shaped light engines into new or existing fixture housings. The installation kits include mounting brackets that install into the fixture housing. The mounting brackets can then support the light engine by a retention tab at one end, and a tether at the other. In this intermediate position, an installer can complete the wiring before raising the light engine into its final position. Also described are lenses, wireway covers, reflectors, and end caps that provide improved sealing of the lens compartment of a light engine. The fitting of the parts provides better sealing to prevent dirt, debris, or insects from migrating into the lens compartment of the light engine and causing reduced light output or unsightly dark spots in the lens.
