The adapter plate is mounted to the housing brackets by use of the latch. The adapter plate may comprise a deck plate and an assembly plate which are pivotably attached to enable an installer to connect the lighting source to the electrical components in the housing. A lighting assembly, comprising a light source, lens, and reflector, is attached to the adapter plate.
