Abstract (en)

A lighting assembly is provided for use with a suspended ceiling arrangement and comprises a light fitment (14,15,17) incorporating electrical components including at least one light socket, and a suspension means (1,2,3,9,10, 11,12,13,20) for the light fitment. The suspension means comprises at least one pair of opposed parallel support plates (1) which can be suspended a fixed distance apart and each of which can be secured to one or other of a pair of parallel support rails (4) for the suspended ceiling. Preferably, a beam (3) is connected to each of the support plates (1) of the pair, between which pair of beams (3) the light fitment (14,15,17) can be slid into position between the plates (1). This enables the lighting assembly to be installed at the same time as the suspended ceiling arrangement itself rather than prior to it and in this way the lighting assembly as a whole is positioned with much more accuracy, fitting well with the various elements of the ceiling arrangement. <IMAGE>
