Edge-lit light fixture without a waveguide

An edge-lit light fixture comprising:

• a housing having a side wall and a top wall that form a cavity having an open bottom end;
• a circuit board assembly disposed on the side wall of the housing, wherein the circuit board comprises a circuit board and a light source coupled to the circuit board, wherein the light source is oriented on the circuit board to direct light into the cavity;
• an optical device coupled to a distal end of the side wall of the housing, wherein the optical device closes off the open bottom end of the cavity;
• and
• a reflector disposed in the cavity, wherein the reflector has a convex curvature along a height between a top end and a bottom end, wherein the bottom end of the reflector is positioned proximate to a junction of the optical device and the distal end of the side wall, wherein the top end of the reflector is positioned in the cavity at a horizontal distance away from the circuit board, wherein the reflector has an inner surface and an outer surface, and wherein the inner surface of the reflector is configured to provide an obstacle that prevents a line of sight from outside the housing through the optical device to the light source.
