Claim:
1. A light fixture comprising: a frame having a thickness of less than about 1.0 inches, wherein the frame defines a first channel at a first edge of the frame and a second channel at a second edge of the frame; a substantially flat light emitting diode (LED) panel disposed within the frame, wherein the substantially flat light emitting diode (LED) panel includes an optically-transmissive panel for distribution of light received at an edge of the optically transmissive panel from an LED strip, the LED strip comprising a plurality of LEDs disposed adjacent the optically-transmissive panel at the first edge of the frame; an LED driver disposed within the second channel at the second edge of the frame, the LED driver comprising a transformer electrically coupled to an external AC power supply via AC-input wires and electrically coupled to the LED strip of the substantially flat light emitting diode (LED) panel via DC-out wires; and a wire compartment disposed within the frame, wherein the wire compartment is configured to house the AC-input wires electrically coupled to the external AC power supply, wherein a bottom surface of the frame defines an access aperture for the wire compartment configured to receive the AC-input wires from the external AC power supply, and wherein the AC-input wires are routed between the wire compartment and the LED driver.
