1. A lighting-junction-box-assembly configured for installation into a ceiling, wherein the lighting-junction-box-assembly comprises:
a lighting-junction-box that is configured for at least housing a portion of a lighting module within a cavity of the lighting-junction-box, wherein the lighting-junction-box comprises a main-opening to the cavity located at a bottom of the lighting-junction-box;
at least two springs attached to the lighting-junction-box, wherein each of the at least two springs has a distal end that points away from side-walls of the lighting-junction-box, but wherein the distal end does at least partially point upwards from the bottom of the lighting-junction-box towards a top of lighting-junction-box, wherein each of the at least two springs is configured to frictionally engage interior sides of a hole within the ceiling, wherein that hole is sized to fit at least most of the lighting-junction-box within an inside diameter of that hole; and
at least two mounting-tabs attached to the lighting-junction-box, wherein each of the at least two mounting-tabs has an extension-portion that points away from the lighting-junction-box, wherein each of the at least two mounting-tabs is configured for facilitating attachment to the ceiling;
wherein the distal ends of the at least two springs and the extension-portions of the at least two mounting-tabs all point in different directions from each other;
wherein the at least two springs are shaped differently from the at least two mounting-tabs;
wherein both the at least two springs and the at least two mounting-tabs are attached to the lighting-junction-box at locations on a lower-portion of the lighting-junction-box that are closest to the bottom and furthest away from the top.
