Abstract
A troffer which can be shipped to the retailer or job site in several pieces and assembled on site. The reflector portion of the troffer is shaped, such that, one reflector can be shipped within another. This allows any number of reflectors to be nested together to increase the packing density for shipping and warehousing. Thus, a dozen troffers can be packaged together in a volume only slightly greater than a. single conventional troffer. The assembly of the troffer is accomplished by merely clipping one or more ballasted-sockets into the troffer's reflector and the inserting lamps into the ballasted-socket. The assembly is then set into the ceiling grid and connected to the power source. If a diffuser or lens is desired, it is merely placed into the ceiling grid prior to the rest of the troffer's reflector.
