Abstract

A light fixture includes a base on which rests a translucent housing having a pair of end pieces for securing the housing to the base. A pair of mirror image brackets, received by the base, are provided to secure the light fixture to a supporting surface. The brackets are positioned on the surface in a spaced-apart relationship for mating with a backplane of the light fixture. The backplane along with the elements of the light fixture supported thereon, have two rotational orientations supported for mounting on the mirror image brackets. The two rotational orientations provide distinct positional orientations of the light fixture with respect to its supporting surface.
