Abstract:
A light fixture having an upper and lower housing, and a mounting bracket adapted to mount to a junction box. The light fixture has a relatively short mounting bracket for surface mount configurations, and a relatively long mounting bracket for recess mount configurations, and a difference in the height of the long and short mounting brackets is equal to the height of the junction box. In the surface-mount and recess-mount configurations a circumferential edge of the upper housing abuts the mounting surface so the lighting fixture has the same external appearance and size in both configurations. The light fixture also has a pendant mode wherein the upper housing is suspended from the junction box by an elongated support. An enclosure for the junction box has a plurality of cut-outs and covers to accommodate various configurations of surface mounted conduit.

Claim (Index 1):
A light fixture comprising:\n a lighting element and a reflector disposed around the lighting element; a junction box having a base forming a closed end, having a circumferential side wall connected to the base, and the circumferential wall having a circumferential edge, the junction box having a height as measured between the base and the circumferential edge and having a width as measured between opposing portions of the circumferential side wall, and the junction box being fixed relative to a planar mounting surface; a mounting bracket adapted to mount to the junction box, the mounting bracket having a base adapted to abut the circumferential edge of the junction box, having a plurality of engagement portions, and having a height as measured between the base and the engagement portions; the base of the mounting bracket having a width as measured between opposing sides of the base and the width of the mounting bracket being greater than the width of the junction box; a first housing adapted to be fixed to the mounting bracket, the first housing having a bottom wall and a circumferential side wall connected to the bottom wall, and the circumferential side wall of the first housing having a circumferential edge lying on a first plane, and the bottom wall and circumferential side wall of the first housing forming an enclosure having an open top defined by the circumferential edge of the first housing; the first housing having a plurality of contact surfaces disposed within an interior of the enclosure formed by the first housing, and the contact surfaces are adapted to closely abut the engagement portions of the mounting bracket when the first housing is mounted to the mounting bracket, and the first housing being adapted to be fixed to the engagement portions of the mounting bracket; a contact spacing being a distance between each contact surface and the first plane, and the contact spacing being greater than the height of the junction box; and the circumferential edge of the first housing being adapted to be in contact with the planar mounting surface when the first housing is fixed to the mounting bracket mounted to the junction box, such that the first housing is flush to the mounting surface and encloses and conceals the junction box and the mounting bracket.
