Abstract

A lighting system for installation on a mounting surface employs a lighting fixture having a housing with a lamp therein, a roof, and sides. Each side is provided with an integrally formed receiver that defines a receiver aperture. A coupler has a mounting portion for coupling with a mounting surface and an engagement portion that resiliently engages with the receiver aperture. The mounting portion of the coupler mounts directly onto a mounting surface and engages with a metal bar of the type used in metal furniture, or mounts on a track that is interposed between the roof of the lighting fixture and the mounting surface. Track-mounted embodiments use a threaded fastener engaged with the coupler to exert a locking force on the inside surface of the mounting track. In a dual-mount arrangement, a fixture mounting arrangement formed of substantially planar portions offset from one another permits engagement with a track, or facilitates mounting on a surface. A wire management clip engages with the mounting track. Electrical connectors permit multiple lighting fixtures to be daisy-chained and controllable independently. A lamp socket supports the glass body of a high-output lamp to prevent it from sagging and contacting the protective lens or glass. An attachment element, such as a gooseneck permits fixture placement variation in one or more dimensions.
