LED board mounting system for a light fixture

1. A light board mounting system, the system comprising:

a fixture having a planar surface;

a plurality of alternating bosses disposed along a length of the planar surface of the fixture, each alternating boss comprising a curved portion 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; and

a first edge and opposing second edge of the at least one light board secured to the planar surface of the fixture between respective innermost edge surfaces of the plurality of alternating bosses, the first edge and opposing second edge of the light board defining a board width between them, the second side of the at least one light board being adjacent to the planar surface of the fixture,

wherein a lateral offset distance between the respective innermost edge surfaces is substantially equal to the board width.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the planar surface includes a hole associated with each of the respective plurality of alternating bosses and the plurality of alternating bosses span over the respective hole.

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

4. The system of claim 3 , 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 3 , wherein the additional light board and the at least one light board are electrically connected.

6. The system of claim 2 , wherein the hole is a rectangular hole.

7. 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.

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

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the curved portion includes a band.

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, the light board having a plurality of lights mounted thereon, the method comprising:

forming a plurality of alternating bosses on a first side of the fixture, wherein the plurality of alternating bosses include a curved portion and 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, the first edge and opposing second edge of the light board defining a board width between them, wherein the light board is adjacent to the first side of the planar surface of the fixture; and

securing the light board to the fixture between respective innermost edge surfaces of the plurality of alternating bosses, wherein a lateral offset distance between the respective innermost edge surfaces is substantially equal to the board width.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein forming the plurality of bosses includes forming a hole in the planar surface associated with each of the respective plurality of bosses.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the plurality of alternating bosses span over the respective hole.

14. The method claim 12 , wherein the hole is a rectangular hole.

15. The method claim 12 , wherein forming the plurality of bosses comprises punching a portion of the planar surface of the fixture.

16. The method of claim 11 , wherein the plurality of bosses are a plurality of alternating bosses.

17. The method claim 11 , wherein the curved portion includes a band.

18. The method of claim 11 , further comprising securing an additional light board to the planar surface wherein the additional light board is longitudinally aligned with the at least one light board on the planar surface of the fixture.
