Abstract
A lighting system including a mount for one person installation to a support surface having a rigid conduit supplying electrical wires. The lighting system includes a housing containing a light source. A hollow suspension arm extends from the housing and a back plate is located on the arm opposite the housing. The suspension arm includes a removable bottom access plate with a knock-out blank to provide optional wiring access, and the back plate includes a frangible portion. An impact blow creates an opening in the frangible portion that leads into the hollow arm. Straight and curved extension sections are provided for optional attachment to the rigid conduit. The rigid conduit is inserted through the opening in the back plate and into the arm thus suspending the lighting system therefrom.
