Abstract
A lighting fixture adapter, methods for manufacturing a lighting fixture adapter, and methods for attaching a lighting accessory to a lighting fixture are disclosed. Embodiments include an adapter that connects to a lighting accessory and allows a user to connect the lighting accessory to a lighting fixture using less twisting than would normally be required when attaching the accessory to the fixture. Embodiments allow a lighting accessory that normally requires multiple rotations to operatively and/or fully engage with a lighting fixture to operatively and/or fully engage with the fixture using a maximum 360 degrees rotation, 180 degrees of rotation, 90 degrees of rotation, or no rotation. Some embodiments include a kit with one or more of: an adapter (which may include a flange), a replacement component for the lighting fixture (which may include a flange for engaging the adapter flange), wires, wiring connectors, an anti-rotation component, and a plug.
