Abstract
Assemblies are disclosed that allow a driver to be mounted in association with an electrical gang box. In one embodiment, the gang box has an opening in a bottom panel. The driver has a flange that is larger than the opening and a body that is smaller than the opening. The driver is inserted through the opening so that the flange rests on the interior surface of the bottom panel with at least a majority of the body of the driver extending outside of the gang box. In another embodiment, the gang box has an opening in a side or rear panel and an adapter mounts the driver outside of the gang box. These assemblies allow for the use of low-voltage and other types of electrical components while leaving space in the gang box for conventional electrical elements, such as switches and dimmers.
