Abstract

An LED light fixture having a rectangular or other geometric shape plastic or other rigid material panel with at least one row of flutes. Each flute has an equally sized cross-section, forming a channel extending a length of the rigid panel. A plurality of LED strips are configured to be inserted into a corresponding one of the channels. The LED strips have a common edge at one end forming electrical connections to individual LEDs on each strip. The common edge may be contained within an enclosure. A frame surrounds the rigid panel and the enclosure. The fixture may include one or more additional pluralities of LED strips received by additional channels of the rigid panel.
