Abstract
A compact recessed lighting system is provided. The recessed lighting system includes a light source module and a driver coupled to a unified casting and within a shared junction box. The junction box may be coupled to a set of hangar holders that are movably coupled to a corresponding set of hangar bars. The junction box, including the light source module and driver installed therein, may move both 1) along the hangar bars and 2) along an axis perpendicular to the hangar bars. Accordingly, the junction box may be moved to rest in preferred location between a set of joists or beams in a structure. By being configured such that the junction box, along with the light source module and driver, is coupled to a unified set of moveable elements that position the combined structure, the recessed lighting system eliminates the added bulk and size of traditional recessed lighting systems.
