A lighting system includes a linear light fixture and a linear blockout structure. The linear blockout structure includes a chamber in which the linear light fixture is mountable and side walls on opposite sides of the chamber engageable by flange portions of the linear light fixture when the linear light fixture and linear blockout structure are assembled together. A hinge structure includes first and second hinge components engaging each other such that when the linear blockout structure and linear lighting fixture are being assembled, they are rotatable with respect to each other at the hinge structure. First and second fastening components engage each other to hold the linear blockout structure and linear lighting fixture assembled together with the linear light fixture being disposed within the chamber of the linear blockout structure.
