A support assembly of claim 1, wherein the first planar support member is made from a metal and/or a plastic or a combination thereof. 3. A support assembly of claim 1, wherein the first planar body portion further includes one or more than one mounting flange for releasably mounting said lamp socket thereon. 4. A support assembly of claim 3, further comprising a pair of mounting flanges, each arranged adjacent the second support member. 5. A support assembly of claim 3, wherein the first planar body portion further includes a pair of opposed positioning flanges, each positioning flange being located on a corresponding side of the central receiving region. 6. A support assembly of claim 5, further comprising a pair of mounting flanges, each being adjacent a corresponding positioning flange. 7. A support assembly of claim 6, wherein each positioning flange extends between the first planar body portion and the corresponding mounting flange. 8. A support assembly of claim 7, wherein the second support member is dimensioned to engage the positioning flanges. 9. A support assembly of claim 8, wherein each mounting flange extends parallel to the first planar body portion. 10. A support assembly of claim 9, wherein the mounting flanges, the positioning flanges and the first planar body portion are formed from a one piece member. 11. A support assembly of claim 1, wherein the first planar support member further includes one or more than one anchoring flange projecting from the first planar body portion, said anchoring flange being arranged for releasable attachment to the second support member. 12. A support assembly of claim 11, wherein the second support member further includes one or more than one anchoring tab extending therefrom. 13. A support assembly of claim 12, further comprising a pair of first anchoring flanges on the first planar body portion and a pair of first anchoring tabs on the second support member, each first anchoring flange to align with a corresponding first anchoring tab to receive a fastener therewith. 14. A support assembly of claim 13, wherein the first anchoring tab is operable for releasable attachment to a corresponding first anchoring flange of the first planar support member. 15. A support assembly of claim 13, further comprising one or more second anchoring flanges extending from opposite regions of the first planar body portion, each second anchoring flange to be oriented to align with a corresponding first anchor location in the linear housing to receive a fastener therewith. 16. A support assembly of claim 15, further comprising one or more second anchor tabs on opposite sides of the second body portion, each to align with a corresponding second anchor location on the linear housing to receive a fastener therewith. 17. A support assembly of claim 16, further comprising a riser member, the second support member further including one or more than one releasable receiving flange to accommodate the riser member. 18. A support assembly of claim 17, wherein said riser member includes a central region to accommodate one or more than one lamp socket thereon. 19. A support assembly of claim 18, wherein the riser member further includes a pair of anchoring flanges each on an opposite side of the central region. 20. A support assembly of claim 19, wherein the second support member further includes an upper surface and a ridge extending above the upper surface, the riser member further including a locating groove for engaging the riser member. 21. A support assembly of claim 17, further comprising a tongue outwardly extending from the second member to support one or more than one lamp thereon. 22. A support assembly of claim 2, wherein the tongue is releasably attachable to the second support member. 23. A support assembly of claim 2, wherein the second support member, the riser member and/or the tongue are molded from plastic and/or metal or a combination thereof. 24. A housing support assembly for supporting a light fixture, said light fixture having an elongate linear housing for accommodating one or more than one lamp, the support assembly comprising a first planar support member and a second support member, said first support member having a central receiving region to receive the second support member and to be coupled therewith, said first planar support member conforming to a predetermined cross-sectional dimension of the linear housing for releasable coupling therewith, said support assembly being adapted to mount one or more than one lamp socket on the first and/or second support member, wherein said elongate linear housing has a cross sectional profile, said first planar support member further having a first planar body portion with a profile complimentary to said cross sectional profile of said elongate linear housing. 25. A housing support assembly for supporting a light fixture, said light fixture having an elongate linear housing for accommodating one or more than one lamp, the support assembly comprising a first support blank and a second support member, said first support blank being formed with a central receiving region to receive the second support member, said first support blank having a peripheral region which is formed to conform to a predetermined cross-sectional dimension of the linear housing for releasable coupling therewith, said support assembly being adapted to mount one or more than one lamp socket thereon wherein said elongate linear housing has a cross sectional profile said first planar support member a first planar body portion with a profile complimentary to said cross sectional profile of said elongate linear housing. 26. An assembly as defined in claim 25, wherein the first support blank is elongate. 27. An assembly as defined in claim 26, wherein the first support blank is planar. 28. An assembly as defined in claim 25, wherein the first support blank includes a stamped plate member. 29. An assembly as defined in claim 25, wherein the first support blank is a plate member. 30. An assembly as defined in claim 25, wherein the plate member is planar. 31. An assembly as defined in claim 25, wherein the first support blank and the second support member are releasably coupled together. 32. A method of preparing a plurality of different light fixture assemblies, comprising the steps of: providing a pair of first support assemblies and a first housing, which when assembled form part of a first light fixture; providing a pair of second support assemblies and a second housing, which when assembled form part of a second light fixture; providing the first housing with a first cross sectional profile and the second housing with a second cross sectional profile which is different from the first cross sectional profile; providing each first support assembly with a first plate member and a first block member supported thereby; shaping the outer periphery of the first plate member to be complementary with at least a portion of the cross sectional profile of the first elongate linear housing; providing each second support assembly with a second plate member and a second block member supported thereby, wherein the second block member and the first block member are substantially the same; shaping the outer periphery of the second plate member to be complementary with at least a portion of the cross sectional profile of the second elongate linear housing; locating an electrical and/or network coupling in one or both of the first block members of the first support assemblies for delivering power to an interior region of the first and elongate linear housing; locating an electrical and/or network coupling in one or both of the second block members of the second support assemblies for delivering power to an interior region of the second elongate linear housings; locating one or more lamps in the first and second elongate linear housings; and coupling each of the lamps with a corresponding electrical coupling.
