Abstract
Embodiments of the disclosed technology are directed to a light fixture and a method of assembly thereof. The light fixture is generally formed of two opposing side rails joined to two opposing caps. The fixture has two panels: an upper panel and a lower panel. The upper panel is formed of a generally flat, deflectable elongated section having a plurality of lights disposed on or in a surface thereof. The upper panel is deflected to form a substantially curvilinear panel, the edges of which are engaged into a slot on the side rails and/or the end caps. The lower panel is also generally flat and formed of a transparent or translucent material. The lower panel is disposed below the upper panel, such that the light projected from the lights on the upper panel projects through the lower panel.
