Abstract
A mounting strap is provided to assist in holding a lighting fixture near an attachment point. The mounting strap has a first end having a portion that is bent at a point along its length to form an acute angle with respect to the length of the remainder of the mounting strap. An aperture is provided in the length of the member to attach the mounting strap to the lighting fixture. The bent portion may be suspended over the mount to which the lighting fixture is to be attached. Following the necessary installation steps, such as connection of electrical wire, the mounting strap may be placed on the mount on which the lighting fixture is attached.
