LED BOARD MOUNTING SYSTEM FOR A FIXTURE
First Claim
1. A light board mounting system, the system comprising:
- a fixture frame having a planar surface;
a plurality of alternating bosses disposed along a length of the planar surface of the fixture frame, each alternating boss comprising a band formed form a punched portion of the planar surface of the fixture frame;
at least one light board having a first side and a second side;
a plurality of lights disposed along a length of the at least one light board on the first side;
a pair of electrical contacts coupled to the plurality of lights, and mounted to the second side of the at least one light board and extending away from the second side; and
a first edge and opposing second edge of the at least one light board secured to the planar surface of the fixture frame between the plurality of alternating bosses, the second side of the at least one light board being adjacent to the planar surface of the fixture frame and the pair of electrical contacts extending through the planar surface.
