In one approach, a fire sprinkler support assembly includes a suspension frame coupled at an intersection of multiple (e.g., four) ceiling grid support elements, and a bracket assembly coupled to the suspension frame and to the plurality of ceiling grid support elements. The bracket assembly may include a main body coupled to the suspension frame, and a support arm extending laterally from the main body. The support arm may include seating members coupled a ceiling grid support element. The fire sprinkler support assembly may further include a sprinkler drop coupled to the support arm, the sprinkler drop and/or sprinkler head extending through the main body and into the suspension frame. The sprinkler support assembly may be a retrofit solution that couples to an existing suspension frame of a downlight fixture.
