Shellback Squid

Hi, looking for help on installing LED overhead panels, I'm replacing florescent tubes and their housings [View all]

The florescent tubes panels have external metal conduit to a junction box, bow mounted externally to the ceiling and have a collar that mounts in the FL housings, nothing I see will allow me to attach a similar connection due to the LED's which have a very small profile and not a port to accept a collar. any ideas?
