Abstract

Mounting brackets for installing extruded profiles on surfaces, such as walls, ceilings, tile surfaces, etc., may be resilient. The mounting bracket may include a coil spring designed to rotate or pivot with respect to a main body. The spring may apply force to a rear of the surface thus holding or maintaining the mounting bracket in place. The mounting bracket may be a flat spring. The flat spring may apply force to side surfaces of an opening formed in the surface thus holding or maintaining the mounting bracket in place. The mounting bracket may hold an elongated profile designed for recessed LED lighting to the surface.
