1. A light fixture, comprising:
- a first light module comprising;
at least one first side coupling feature disposed on a first side of the first light module;
at least one second side coupling feature disposed on a second side of the first light module, wherein the second side is opposite the first side; and
at least one first rear coupling feature disposed on a first rear of the first light module, wherein the first rear is positioned adjacent to and in between the first side and the second side;
a second light module comprising;
at least one third side coupling feature disposed on a third side of the second light module;
at least one fourth side coupling feature disposed on a fourth side of the second light module, wherein the fourth side is opposite the third side; and
at least one second rear coupling feature disposed on a second rear of the second light module, wherein the second rear is positioned adjacent to and in between the third side and the fourth side;
at least one first side bracket comprising a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion mechanically couples to the at least one first side coupling feature disposed on the first side of the first light module, and wherein the second portion mechanically couples to the at least one third side coupling feature disposed on the third side of the second light module;
at least one second side bracket comprising a third portion and a fourth portion, wherein the third portion mechanically couples to the at least one second side coupling feature disposed on the second side of the first light module, and wherein the fourth portion mechanically couples to the at least one fourth side coupling feature disposed on the fourth side of the second light module;
at least one first rear bracket comprising a fifth portion and a sixth portion, wherein the fifth portion mechanically couples to the at least one first rear coupling feature disposed on the first rear of the first light module, and wherein the sixth portion mechanically couples to the at least one second rear coupling feature disposed on the second rear of the second light module; and
a center interface disposed over a first front portion of the first light module, a second front portion of the second light module, and a gap between the first light module and the second light module, wherein the center interface is disposed within a first relief feature of the at least one first side bracket and a second relief feature of the at least one second side bracket, wherein the first relief feature traverses at least part of a first length of the at least one first side bracket, and wherein the second relief feature traverses at least part of a second length of the at least one second side bracket.
