Abstract

Described are LED lighting assemblies that may be used to replace a light source in a light fixture. The LED lighting assembly may include a thermally conductive extrusion, a plurality of light emitting diodes, and a diffuser. The diffuser is positioned below the light emitting diodes and also releasably engages the extrusion. The light fixture may include a housing, a reflector assembly with at least one longitudinally extending trough, at least one light source, and at least one lens assembly. As an example, the at least one lens assembly and the at least one light source are removed, and at least one LED lighting assembly is provided. At least a portion of the extrusion of the at least one LED lighting assembly is placed adjacent the at least one longitudinally extending trough. The diffuser of the at least one LED lighting assembly is connected to the at least one longitudinally extending trough.
