Abstract
A universal ballast mounting bracket is of a generally T-shaped configuration defined by a leg and a pair of oppositely directed arms bent to define an angle therebetween of substantially 90 degrees. A pair of holes are provided in the leg for permanently securing each leg to a flange of a conventional ballast and each arm includes a hole in an end portion thereof for securing the bracket to a wall adjacent a ballast access opening. First and second planes to the respective leg openings and arms openings are normal to each other and relative distances and geometries therebetween are such as to effect universal mounting of the ballast mounting brackets to any one of four corners of the ballast and in any one of two positions relative to the ballast access opening.
