Abstract
Provided is a device configured for attachment to a lighting fixture. The device includes an engagement mechanism that allows the lighting fixture to be mounted within a recess of a substantially flat surface. The engagement mechanism is constructed to facilitate movement of a tension mechanism from a maximum tension position to a minimum tension position. Movement of the engagement mechanism is in response to an applied force generated by contact of the engagement mechanism with a first side of the substantially flat surface. Also provided is a method for mounting the lighting fixture using the engagement mechanism.
