A light fixture comprising:
- a frame including a bottom assembly and a top assembly coupled to the bottom assembly, the bottom assembly and the top assembly cooperating to form a plurality of channels within the frame;
- a substantially flat light emitting diode (LED) panel disposed within the frame;
- and
- power circuitry disposed within the frame or adjacent the frame, the power circuitry being configured to electrically couple the substantially flat LED panel to an external power supply;
- wherein the bottom assembly includes a back surface and a plurality of mounting tabs on the back surface, wherein the mounting tabs are movable between (i) a first unextended position where the mounting tabs are substantially co-planar with the back surface, (ii) a first extended position where the mounting tabs extend out at an angle of approximately 90 degrees relative to the back surface, and (iii) a second extended position where the mounting tabs extend out at an angle of approximately 180 degrees relative to the back surface.
