Abstract
A linear light fixture can include a tray and an optical device, where the tray includes a circuit board receiving section, first and second tray side sections, and a retention feature, where the first and second tray side sections include an optical device receiving feature. The optical device can include an optical section, first and second optical device side sections, and a complementary retention feature, where the first and second optical device side sections include a tray mating feature that is configured to be disposed within the optical device receiving feature, where the retention feature and the complementary retention feature are disengaged when the tray mating feature is being received by the optical device receiving feature, and where the retention feature and the complementary retention feature are engaged after the tray mating feature is received by the optical device receiving feature to fixedly secure the optical device to the tray.
