1. A LED light system comprising:
- a) a LED light fixture comprising;
i) a flattened body with a top surface and a bottom surface;
ii) a LED driver circuit within a LED driver box;
iii) an array of LEDs electrically coupled to the LED driver circuit and positioned on or around the bottom surface of the flattened body; and
