Abstract
A mounting assembly for mounting a light fixture comprises a plurality of anchor structures attachable to a ceiling at designated locations thereon to form an anchor array to be patterned so as to be complementary with a target location array of a plurality of target locations on the light fixture. A plurality of elongate flexible structures is provided according to the anchor array, each configured to extend from a corresponding anchor structure so as to be orientable to align with a corresponding target location in the target location array when the target location array is unaligned with the anchor array. A plurality of retainers is provided according to the anchor array, each configured to be positionable at a distal location on the corresponding elongate flexible structure, thereby to suspend the light fixture below the ceiling. Each retainer being displaceable along the corresponding elongate flexible structure to collectively displace the light fixture toward engagement with the ceiling, wherein the retainer is positionable at a designated location on the elongate flexible structure, wherein an installed position of the light fixture is defined by a cumulative effect of a re…
