Abstract
A fluorescent tube lighting fixture and method of fabrication characterized by the selection of a common channel housing including a central mounting bore wherein either a first circuit board device, including a single transistor mounting foot, or a second circuit board device, including two laterally spaced apart transistor mounting feet, may be selected for mounting to the common channel housing. To mount the first circuit board device to the channel housing, the first circuit board device is positioned on the channel housing and a fastener is inserted through a fastener bore of the single transistor mounting foot and mounting bore of the channel housing. To mount the second circuit board device to the channel housing, the second circuit board device is positioned on the channel housing and a mounting clip formed with a through bore is positioned in overlying relationship over the pair of mounting feet wherein a fastener may be inserted through the through bore, through a clearance slot between the pair of mounting feet, and through the mounting bore of the channel housing.
