Abstract
The light fixture is configured to be mounted in a troffer. The light fixture includes a light emitting assembly including at least one LED and a reflector assembly. A mechanical attachment mechanism is configured to be connected directly between the light fixture and a troffer. The mechanical attachment mechanism is adjustable such that a distance between the light fixture and the troffer may vary. The mechanical attachment mechanism may comprise at least one bracket pivotably connected to the light fixture, a cable having an attachment structure wherein the effective length of the cable is adjustable, a telescoping bracket having an attachment structure wherein the effective length of the telescoping bracket is adjustable, a threaded member having an attachment structure wherein the effective length of the threaded member is adjustable by a threaded nut that engages the threaded member. The mechanical attachment mechanism positively secures the light fixture to the troffer without gaps to create an electrical enclose that prevents risk of fire or shock.
