A foldable element support made from planar sheet of material that can be
formed by folding into a support for positioning and securing a refractor
lens to a luminaire housing. The foldable element support is a planar
sheet that has a central base having a central opening, a plurality of
foldable securing arms formed into the central base for attaching the
support to a luminaire housing, and a plurality of peripherally-arranged
support flanges for supporting and positioning the upper rim of the
refractor lens in proximity to the luminaire housing. The folded support
can be manipulated into the folded configuration by hand, with hand
tools, or by a machine.
