Abstract
A mounting-frame is configured for use in a recessed lighting assembly and may have a main-planar-member, an aperture-for-housing-can, two mounting-ears, and a skirt. The main-planar-member may be at least mostly flat and planar, aside from some extensions. The aperture-for-housing-can may be a hole within the main-planar-member that may be configured to receive at least a portion of a housing-can. The housing-can is configured to house a light source. The two mounting-ears may extend orthogonally above the main-planar-member and may extend from opposing sides of the aperture-for-housing-can. The two mounting-ears may be configured for attaching to the housing-can. The skirt may extend from the main-planar-member, at the aperture-for-housing-can, in an opposite direction from the mounting-ears. The two mounting-ears may be formed from material of the main-planar-member such that the two mounting-ears and the main-planar-member are integral with each other being of the same article of manufacture.
