OVERHEAD ELECTRICAL FIXTURE AND PORTABLE LOWERING TOOL THEREFOR Abstract of the Disclosure An overhead electrical fixture including a lowerably serviceable fixture portion that may be readily lowered by a portably lowering tool to facili- tate servicing by a technician at ground level. The overhead fixture includes a mounting base adapted to be secured relatively high above ground level, such as in a church. In the normal operating position, the serviceable fixture portion is releasably secured to the mounting base by a relatively short length of cable secured at one end to the serviceable fixture portion, and at the opposite end to a cable connector, such as a ring. The ring rests against the mounting base adjacent a slotted opening in the normal operating position. The ring may be engaged by a hook at the lowering tool and rotated so that the ring may pass through the slotted opening in the mounting base to effect release and lowering of the serviceable fixture portion. The portable lowering tool includes a series of telescoping sections, a winch including a supply of cable stored thereon, and a brake to prevent paying out of the cable when the winch handle is released by the user. The supply of cable from the winch of the portable lowering tool is payed out to lower the serviceable fixture portion and may be rewound to raise the serviceable fixture postion to the operating position after servicing is completed. 235885
