Abstract
A light fixture mounting assembly includes a surface mount, a lighting unit mount configured to engage the surface mount, and an arm connecting the surface mount to the lighting unit mount. The lighting unit mount is movable in use between a first configuration in which the lighting unit mount is disengaged from the surface mount and supported by the arm and a second configuration in which the lighting unit mount is engaged to the surface mount. Moving the lighting unit mount from the first configuration to the second configuration includes moving the lighting unit mount relative to the surface mount in a first direction to cause the surface mount and the lighting unit mount to draw closer together in a second direction that is nonparallel to the first direction.
