Low profile light with improved thermal management

A low profile light, comprising:

• one or more solid state light sources;
• a cover disposed in relation to the one or more solid state light sources such that light emitted by the one or more solid state light sources passes through the cover;
• a driver to supply electrical power to the one or more solid state light sources, wherein the driver is contained within a driver housing;
• and
• a low profile light (LPL) housing comprising:
• a central portion having a first side and a second side;
• a lip, wherein the lip extends around an outer edge of the LPL housing;
• a cover receptacle configured to receive the cover;
• an outer face, wherein the outer face extends from the lip inward towards the cover receptacle;
• an inner surface, wherein the inner surface extends downward away from the central portion and upward towards the lip, so as to form a valley;
• and
• a fin, extending perpendicularly up from and engaged to the central portion and independent of the driver housing, wherein the fin is of curved configuration and is configured to at least partially surround a correspondingly curved exterior portion of the driver housing when the driver housing is hosted by the LPL housing, and wherein the fin is not configured to hold the driver housing in contact with the LPL housing.
