Abstract
A method of assembling a light fixture includes positioning a first and a second portion of a light fixture adjacent one another. The method includes applying a brazing material between these portions and fastening the portions together with a coupling device, wherein one or more gaps are formed therebetween the portions. The method includes pre-heating the portions and the brazing material to a first temperature and placing them into a molten salt bath, wherein the brazing material flows into the gaps. The method includes cooling the fastened portions to form a metallurgical bond therebetween. The fixture includes a base, a manifold chamber, and a plurality of structures extending from a second surface of the base to the chamber, which defines a manifold therein. The base includes one or more openings extending therethrough. Each structure defines a wire way that is in communication with the chamber and one or more openings.
