Abstract
A retrofit assembly for inserting LED luminaries into previously recessed lighting fixtures has a horizontal bridge adjustable for various existing opening diameters of ceiling holes. The horizontal bridge carries two vertically adjustable brackets at its opposing ends. Tabs on the end plates of the bridge and tabs on the vertically adjustable brackets together help form bolt-operated vertical clamps adjustable for various ceiling thicknesses. The vertically adjustable brackets also carry torsion spring receivers for accepting the torsion springs of a retrofit LED luminaire/trim assembly. The vertically adjustable brackets may be spring-loaded for ease of adjustment when increasing the dimension of the vertical clamps.
