Ceiling light LED retrofit kit

A combination, the combination comprising:

• a previously-installed light fixture and a retrofit kit;
• the previously-installed light fixture including:
• first and second electrical receptacles configured to hold a fluorescent light tube but being devoid of a fluorescent light tube;
• and
• a de-energized ballast;
• the retrofit kit including:
• a light panel, the light panel having a first side facing the previously-installed light fixture and an opposite, planar second side;
• first and second light emitting diodes residing on the second side of the light panel;
• and
• an electrical conductor:
• electrically separated from the previously-installed light fixture;
• in electrical communication with the light emitting diodes;
• adapted for electrical communication to a second retrofit kit;
• and
• residing at least in part between the first side of the light panel and the previously-installed light fixture.

A lighting assembly for mounting with a previously-installed interior ceiling light fixture having first and second electrical receptacles, the lighting assembly comprising:

• a first end disposed proximate the first electrical receptacle and a second end disposed proximate the second electrical receptacle;
• a light panel;
• first and second angled wings integral with the light panel, each extending away from the light panel at a downward angle of less than twenty degrees from horizontal;
• a lens, the lens having a U-shaped cross-section;
• plural light emitting diodes attached to the light panel, between the light panel and the lens;
• endcaps located at the first and second ends;
• and
• the lighting assembly having electrical circuitry independent of the previously-installed interior ceiling light fixture, the electrical circuitry connected with the light emitting diodes and adapted for series electrical connection to a second lighting assembly.
