Light fixture

A ceiling-mountable light fixture adaptable for stand-alone use or use in connection with a ceiling fan is described. The fixture is mountable directly to a ceiling-mounted electrical junction box. The fixture is adapted to receive a suspension member, whereby a conventional ceiling fan may be suspended below the fixture, such that the fixture is positioned between the fan blades and the ceiling. The fixture is preferably pan-shaped, with a relatively flat base and an octagonal wall depending from the base. A distal portion of the wall is turned outwardly to define a flange which is positioned in facing contact with the ceiling when the fixture is mounted thereon. The fixture includes a central boss, which is elevated with respect to the base on a top side of the fixture, to define a recess on a bottom side thereof. The boss has a circular opening extending therethrough and an annular surface surrounding the opening. Eight rectangular notches communicate with the opening at respective selected positions around the circumference thereof. The notches are adapted to receive a mounting member, such as a screw, for mounting the fixture with the junction box. Portions of the annular surface are punched out to define feet projections, which engage the ceiling to provide a spacing between the ceiling and the central boss to accommodate electrical wiring.
