Abstract
A housing assembly for a recessed lighting system includes a housing with integrally formed cable routing features, mounting features, and alignment features. The integration of multiple features into the housing is enabled by forming the housing from a polymer using an injection molding process instead of sheet metal. For a new construction installation, the housing includes integrally formed bar hanger holders to support and guide bar hangers for installation onto two or more support structures, nail-in features for installation onto a single support structure, and one or more alignment features to position the housing against the single support structure when the nail-in features are used for installation. For a remodel installation, the housing includes a flange to abut a bottom surface of a ceiling and one or more spring clips mounted to the housing to abut a top surface of the ceiling.
