The plurality of heat dissipating fins are disposed on at least one adjacent exterior side of the walled enclosure, the fins extending outwardly. At least one fin coupled to the heat sink extends beyond the light source, and the heat generated by the light source travels by conduction laterally through the heat sink to the at least one coupled fin.

ELECTRICAL FIXTURE QUICK CONNECT MOUNT

A method and apparatus for quick, safe, and easy installation of electrical fixtures in the building construction field, including connecting the fixture to a mounting mechanism for structural support and electrical service. A coupling mechanism is attached to or incorporated into the fixture. The coupling mechanism has built-in electrical leads that are designed to connect with the electrical leads on a fixture-facing interface of the mounting mechanism. Electrical leads on the coupling mechanism are connected via wire or other electrically conductive material to the electrical components in the fixture.

A method for providing a removable quick-connect between a junction box and an electrical fixture is provided. A first junction box mounting plate is removably affixed to the junction box, and a first electrical connector is positioned in a channel in a front face of the first junction box mounting plate. A second electrical fixture mounting plate is removably affixed to the electrical fixture, and a second electrical connector is positioned in a slot in a projection extending upwardly from a front face of the second fixture mounting plate. The channel in the front face of the first junction box mounting plate is aligned with the projection extending from the front face of the second electrical fixture mounting plate. The channel includes angled side walls and the projection includes side walls angled in the opposite direction. The projection is then slid into the channel until the first electrical connector engages the second electrical connector.
