The disclosed lighting apparatus has a light-diffusive panel having opposing first and second faces bounded by one or more sides and having one or more channels extending inward from one of the one or more sides. A first conductor is disposed on the first face of the light-diffusive panel and is proximate a first side. The first conductor has a concave section disposed within a channel of the one or more channels. A second conductor is disposed on the second face of the light-diffusive panel and is proximate the first side. The second conductor has a concave section disposed within a channel. Solid-state lighting (SSL) elements have light emitting portions that face a second side that is adjacent to the first side of the light-diffusive panel, and the SSL elements are electrically coupled to the first conductor and to the second conductor.

SSL lighting apparatus

A lighting apparatus includes a light-diffusive panel that has opposing first and second faces bounded by one or more sides. A first conductor is disposed on the first face of the light-diffusive panel and proximate a first side of the one or more sides. A second conductor is disposed on the second face of the light-diffusive panel and proximate the first side. A first plurality of solid-state lighting (SSL) elements have light emitting portions that face a second side that is adjacent to the first side of the light-diffusive panel. The first plurality of SSL elements are electrically coupled to the first conductor and to the second conductor.

A disclosed lighting apparatus includes a flex-circuit, a frame, and a light-diffusive panel. The flex-circuit includes a power bus having first and second portion of opposite polarity disposed parallel to outer edges of the flex-circuit, and solid-state lighting (SSL) elements disposed and connected between the portions of the power bus. A first side of the frame includes a first surface to which a portion of the flex-circuit having the first portion of the power bus is attached, a second surface to which a portion of the flex-circuit having the SSL elements is attached, and a third surface to which a portion of the flex-circuit having the second portion of the power bus is attached. A face of the light-diffusive panel abuts the first surface of the frame, and side of the light-diffusive panel faces the second surface of the frame and light emitting portions of the SSL elements.
