Claim:
A method for installing a lighting fixture housing to a ceiling comprising the steps of: installing a ceiling mounted holder to a ceiling, said ceiling mounted holder having an open ring portion for insertion of a widenable toggle therethrough; attaching a pendant pipe to a flat top surface of a lighting fixture having an longitudinally extending end to end axis; inserting said pendant pipe through a top face of a trapezoidal pendant bracket having two obliquely extending arms attached at respective proximal ends to said top face of said trapezoidal pendant bracket, said pendant bracket further having two oppositely opposed flat feet extending longitudinally along a flat top surface of the fluorescent lamp fixture; aligning said feet of said trapezoidal pendant bracket so that they are in axial alignment with said longitudinally extending end to end axis of said lighting fixture housing; attaching said feet of said trapezoidal pendant bracket to the flat top surface of the lighting fixture housing; attaching an upper distal end of said pendant pipe to a further pipe-accommodating holder having an upper mounting flange; providing a hole in said upper mounting flange of said further pipe-accommodating holder; locating said hole in said upper mounting flange in positional register with said open ring portion of said ceiling mounted holder; inserting a threaded toggle bolt having a widenable toggle nut thereon through said hole of said upper mounting flange of said further pipe-accommodating holder and through said open ring portion of said ceiling mounted holder; permitting said widenable toggle nut to widen and prevent movement of said toggle nut back though said open ring portion of said ceiling mounted holder, thereby suspending the lighting fixture housing from said ceiling mounted holder.
