• a retainer clip body including opposite longitudinal sides and made of a springy material,
• longitudinally extending legs depending from said opposite longitudinal sides of said clip body operable to slide over and securingly engage the panel skins,
• oppositely directed and spaced apart trim retainer prongs projecting up from said clip body and generally towards a longitudinal center-line of said clip body for engaging the frames and securing the glazing between the frames in the panel, and
• trim release means operably attached to said prongs for releasing said prongs from engagement with the frames.

• corresponding panel light apertures in each of said skins, said skins having outer surfaces, an embossed edge along the periphery of at least one of said apertures, said embossed edge indented towards said core, and first and second frames mounted on said outer surfaces of the skins and said frames disposed within embossments formed by said indented embossed edges such that said frames do not protrude outwardly of their respective outer surfaces,
• a plurality of spaced apart retainer clips disposed over said embossed edges for securing said frames and glazing disposed therebetween within said panel light apertures,
• each of said retainer clips comprising:
• a retainer clip body made of a spring steel,
• longitudinally extending legs depending from opposite longitudinal sides of said clip body said legs flush mounted against said embossments, and
• oppositely directed and spaced apart trim retainer prongs projecting up from said clip body and generally towards a longitudinal center-line of said clip body, said prongs engaging said frames and securing said glazing between said frames and securing said frames to at least one of said embossments and said legs.

• two spaced apart metal skins and an inner core therebetween,
• a panel light assembly comprising;
• corresponding panel light apertures in each of said skins,
• an embossed edge along the periphery of each of said apertures,
• said embossed edges forming embossments indented towards said core and essentially parallel to said skins,
• said skins having outer surfaces and front and back frames mounted on said outer surfaces of respective ones of said front and back skins within said embossments such that said frames are substantially flush with said outer surfaces,
• retainer clips disposed over edges of said embossments for securing said frames and glazing disposed therebetween within said panel light apertures,
• each of said retainer clips comprising:
• a retainer clip body made of a spring steel,
• longitudinally extending legs depending from opposite longitudinal sides of said clip body said legs flush against on said embossments,
• oppositely directed and spaced apart trim retainer prongs projecting up from said clip body and generally towards a longitudinal center-line of said clip body,
• said prongs engaging said frames and securing said glazing between said frames and securing said frames to at least one of said embossments and said legs, and
• at least two skin spacer tabs extending from said clip body and each of said spacer tabs spaced sufficiently apart from said longitudinally depending legs so as to be able to receive said skins therebetween.
