1. An LED light fixture connectable to an electrical supply located external to the light fixture comprising:
- a plurality of LED light tubes each having a cylindrical tube with LEDs therein, each tube having a first end with a first male connector extending therefrom and a second end with a second male connector extending therefrom, said LEDs in each tube electrically connected to said first male connector and said second male connector;
a first end support;
a second end support spaced apart from said first end support and being parallel therewith to receive said LED light tube therebetween;
female connectors mounted to said first end support and said second end support with each female connector mounted to said first end support aligned with a corresponding female connector mounted to said second end support to enable mounting of the LED light tubes to said female connectors, said female connectors oriented to shine light from said LED light tubes downwardly at angles with the vertical; and
,a rigid member extending between and connected to said first end support and said second end support to maintain said alignment between said female connectors on said first end support and said female connectors on said second end support, said first end support and said second end support along with said rigid member forming a housing for said LED light tubes.
