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 10):
A light fixture comprising:\n a housing adapted to mount to and enclose a junction box mounted to a planar mounting surface, and the junction box being adapted to connect to surface mounted conduit mounted to the mounting surface; the housing having a bottom wall and a circumferential side wall connected to the bottom wall, the circumferential side wall having a circumferential edge lying on a plane, and the bottom wall and circumferential side wall forming an enclosure having an open top defined by the circumferential edge; the circumferential edge of the housing being adapted to be in contact with the planar mounting surface when the housing is mounted to the junction box, such that the housing is flush to the mounting surface and encloses and conceals the junction box; the housing including a plurality of cut-outs in the circumferential side wall, and the cut-outs extending to the circumferential edge; the light fixture including a plurality of cover keys adapted to fill and close the cut-outs and including a plurality of conduit keys having an opening adapted to receive an electrical conduit therethrough; each of the cover keys and conduit keys having an edge adapted to be substantially coplanar with the circumferential edge of the housing and the planar mounting surface when installed, and the opening in the conduit keys extending to the edge; and each cut-out being adapted to selectively receive any one of the conduit keys and cover keys; whereby the housing can be configured to accommodate various patterns of surface mounted conduit connected to the junction box.
