Patent number: 11131443Abstract: A lighting fixture includes a housing bracket and pair of side rails, each side rail located adjacent opposite sides of the housing bracket. Further, the lighting fixture includes a light guide that is oriented horizontally and securely retained by the pair of side rails. Furthermore, the lighting fixture includes a plurality of light sources that are disposed on or within a cavity defined by at least one of the side rails such that the plurality of light sources are positioned in close proximity to and along an edge of the light guide. The light guide receives light emitted by the plurality of light sources through the edge of the light guide and emits the light through a major surface of the light guide. Further, the lighting fixture includes an end plate and an end cap disposed on each lateral end of the lighting fixture.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2019Date of Patent: September 28, 2021Assignee: SIGNIFY HOLDING B.V.Inventors: Gregg Arthur Lehman, Paul Wayne Lewis
