LED board mounting system for a fixture

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 from a raised portion of the planar surface;

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

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.

2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising an additional light board secured to the planar surface of the fixture frame, wherein the additional light board being coupled to the pair of electrical contacts of the at least one light board.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the additional light board is longitudinally aligned with the at least one light board on the planar surface of the fixture frame.

4. The system of claim 2 , wherein the additional light board is secured spaced apart relation and in parallel orientation to the at least one light board.

5. The system of claim 2 , wherein the additional light board and the at least one light board are electrically connected in series.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the pair of electrical contacts extend through the planar surface.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of alternating bosses are formed from a punched portion of the planar surface of the fixture frame.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the band is a protruding band.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of lights are arranged in a substantially linear orientation on the first side of the at least one light board.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one light board comprises a dielectric substrate carrying the lights.

11. A method of mounting a light board to a fixture frame, the light board having a plurality of lights mounted thereon and at least one electrical contact connected thereto, the method comprising:

forming a plurality of alternating bosses on a first side of the fixture frame, wherein the plurality of alternating bosses are formed from the planar surface;

aligning a first edge and an opposing second edge of the light board between the plurality of alternating bosses, wherein the light board is adjacent to the first side of the planar surface of the fixture frame; and

securing the light board to the fixture frame, and

extending the at least one electrical contact through the planar surface.

12. The method claim 11 , further comprising securing an additional light board to the planar surface.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the additional light board is longitudinally aligned with the at least one light board on the planar surface of the fixture frame.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the at least one electrical contact extends through the planar surface.

15. The method claim 11 , wherein forming a plurality of bosses comprises punching a portion of the planar surface of the fixture frame.

16. The method claim 11 , wherein the plurality of bosses each include a band.
