Claim Text:
1. A light fixture, comprising: a) a frame having a frame length measured along a length axis and a frame width measured along a width axis, wherein the frame length is greater than the frame width, wherein the frame defines a first channel extending along the length axis at a first edge of the frame, and a second channel extending along the length axis at a second edge of the frame opposite to the first edge of the frame; (b) an array of light emitting diodes (LEDs) disposed within the first channel extending along the length axis at the first edge of the frame; (c) an optically transmissive panel assembly disposed within the frame, wherein the optically transmissive panel assembly light receives light from the array of light emitting diodes (LEDs) at an edge of a light guide plate of the optically transmissive panel assembly adjacent the first channel; d) driving circuitry disposed within the second channel extending along the length axis at the second edge of the frame and operatively coupled to the set of LEDs, the driving circuitry operatively coupled to an AC power supply external to the light fixture to power the set of light emitting diodes (LEDs); wherein the optically transmissive panel assembly emits light from a patterning optics film adjacent a surface of the light guide plate at an emission area of the optically transmissive panel assembly in an asymmetric light distribution, and wherein the asymmetric light distribution directs the light with maximum luminous intensity in a transverse direction toward one of a first side of the light fixture off the first edge of the frame or a second side of the light fixture off the second edge of the frame.
