Abstract
A frame for supporting a light fixture has regions of its sidewall corners that are double walled and secured with at least one mechanical-fastener (e.g., a rivet) at each such region of the sidewall corners. This results in a stronger frame that is able to support heavier loads as compared to a frame without such reinforced corner regions. The frame also has holes on its largest-planar-member for attaching to I-brackets and the I-brackets may be attached to a light-fixture-can of the light fixture. The frame also has different holes, on opposing sidewalls, that may be attached to a junction-box that covers over a largest-hole of the frame. Each I-bracket has a concave-surface for concentrically pressing up against an exterior surface of the light-fixture-can. Each I-bracket may attached to the light-fixture-can and to the frame. The I-brackets permit a height of the light-fixture-can to be set at different heights.
