Abstract

A shelf assembly incorporating a light fixture includes a shelf having a top surface, a downward extending front skirt with an inward extending front lip, a pair of downward extending sidewalls, and possibly a rib extending parallel to the lip between the sidewalls. The light fixture includes an elongate box section with power cords at opposite ends and a pair of sockets for engaging the terminals of a light tube. A pair of brackets are fixed to the box section, each bracket having a front tab extending laterally of the box section for engaging the front lip of the shelf. The brackets are fixed in place using screws which engage the rib, if present, or the sidewalls. The box section contains a ballast and may have compartments which receive the power cords through friction fittings so that excess cord can be stored out of sight.
