Claim 63:
64. A method of configuring a light fixture for an installed panel system comprising;
a) manufacturing by a continuous extrusion process a primary optical element comprising a bulk light transmissive material with internal or surface light scattering features and further comprising at least one input face and an outer output face;
b) cutting first and second ends of the primary optical element at respective configured angles θ1 and θ2 in relation to the axis of extrusion;
c) manufacturing by a continuous extrusion process an elongate housing body comprising;
i) a longitudinally extended 2-dimensional x-y cross-sectional profile shape with two side portions joined by a backplane and collectively defining an internal cavity extended longitudinally in relation to the axis of extrusion;
ii) at least one support feature extending from at least one side portion of the elongate housing body and configured to support and conceal the edge of a panel of the installed panel system;

d) cutting first and second ends of the elongate housing body at respective configured angles θ1 and θ2 in relation to the axis of extrusion;
e) Inserting a LED board within the internal cavity of the elongate body housing wherein;
i) the LED board and primary optical element are held and retained in optical alignment by internal support features of the elongate housing body; and wherein
ii) the LED board comprises one or more LEDs mounted and positioned on at least one face of a printed circuit board and further comprising one or more arranged electrical circuits;

f) assembling the light fixture by attaching end plates or end caps at the longitudinal ends of the elongate housing body,
wherein the peak intensity and light distribution from the light fixture are configured by selecting the amount of primary optical element light scattering and by controlling the electrical power distributed to the one or more LEDs via the arranged electrical circuits of at least one LED board.
