Light fixture retrofit kit with integrated light bar
First Claim
1. A system for mounting a light source in a fixture, comprising:
- at least two solid state light source bars each comprising a base, a lens, and a light source, said light source held in place by a force applied by an inner portion of said lens, said base coupled to said inner portion of said lens;
mounting clips mounted to said at least two solid state light source bars, wherein said at least two solid state light source bars can be movably mounted to a light fixture housing, said mounting clips comprising a magnet, wherein said mounting clips are slidably adjustable along said at least two solid state light source bars; and
a power supply for providing a drive signal compatible with solid state light sources, said power supply configured to removably attach to said light fixture housing such that said power supply is between said at least two solid state light source bars.

Abstract
Retrofit systems and methods are disclosed for lighting installations, and in particular, to retrofit systems and methods used to retrofit troffer-style lighting installations with LED light sources. Retrofit systems can be used with different light fixtures, but those described are particularly adapted for use with troffer-style fixtures. These retrofit systems can provide the same amount of light as traditional light fixtures already do, for example 1600-4000 lumens or more. The retrofit systems can be used with many different light sources but are particularly well-suited for use with solid state light sources or light engines, such as those utilizing LEDs. Some embodiments of the present invention comprise a mechanical mounting system for installing an LED light engine within an existing lighting system housing or pan, such as a troffer pan, without penetrating the ceiling plenum.
