Abstract

See full text

Low-profile light fixture joints reduce the appearance of a seam between joined ends of one or more polymeric panels at a connection interface. The joint is formed between a first end of a polymeric panel and a second end of the same or a separate polymeric panel. Each end has an upper edge portion, a lower edge portion opposite the upper edge portion, a flange extending between the upper edge portion and the lower edge portion, and a notch disposed between the flange and one or more of the lower edge portion or the upper edge portion. The notch enables the upper and/or lower edge portions to present straight edges at the connection interface, the joined straight edges forming a butt seam at the connection interface, while the flanges present rounded edges at the connection interface, the joined rounded edges forming a tucked seam at the connection interface.
