Abstract
The present invention is an adjustable hanger bar assembly for a light fixture. The assembly maintains structural integrity between first and second bars to support a recessed light fixture while being extended to distances where typical mounting assemblies fail. The hanger bar assembly comprises first and second bars which slidably engage one another. One of the first and second bars comprises a foldable foot which may be extended to increase the length of the hanger bar assembly.
