Abstract
A method of assembling a light fixture includes assembling a light guide into a backing structure. The backing structure includes a sheet and first and second flanges at two opposite edges of the sheet. A row of light emitting diodes (LEDs) is installed on the first flange, positioned to direct light away from the first flange and toward the second flange, and generally parallel with the major surfaces of the flat sheet. The light guide is positioned between the flanges and against the backing structure. The width of the light guide is less than the distance between the LEDs and the second flange. The backing structure and the light guide are bent toward a bottom surface of the backing structure such that the flanges are drawn toward each other and such that the LEDs are drawn toward an input face of the light guide.
