Abstract
A recessed lighting fixture is molded in one piece, preferably of plastic, and includes a frame for holding a lamp housing as well as a junction box having a hinged lid. The frame and junction box define a planar vertical surface which is abutted against a joist and affixed thereto by nails extending through spaced nailways. Hangerways are also provided in the lighting fixture through which hanger bars are inserted for supporting the lighting fixture between two joists as an alternate way of supporting the fixture.
