Abstract
A clip device for mounting a light fixture to a ceiling tile grid includes a base configured to be located on a surface of the light fixture. An edge portion extends from the base and is configured to be located in a recess in the surface of the light fixture. An arm extends from the edge portion through a first hinge such that the arm is bendable between a substantially horizontal orientation with respect to the surface of the light fixture to a substantially vertical orientation with respect to the surface of the light fixture when installed. A channel element extends from the arm through a second hinge such that the channel element is bendable to form a channel for receiving a portion of the ceiling tile grid to mount the light fixture. A light fixture system incorporating the clip device is also disclosed.
