1. A light emitting device comprising:
a planar light source;
a structural support panel having a first side that opposes a second side, the structural support panel has an opening therein;
a planar housing having
a first side that opposes a second side of the planar housing, and
a third side that is coupled to the first side and the second side of the planar housing, and defines an outer perimeter of the planar housing, the first side of the planar housing couples to the first side of the structural support panel;
a conduit that includes an electrical conductor, the conduit couples to a first side of the planar housing, the conduit extends outwardly through the opening in the structural support panel to the second side of the structural support panel; and
a fastening mechanical device is disposed at the second side of the structural support panel, the fastening mechanical device secures the planar housing to the structural support panel via a compressive force on a surface of the second side of the structural support panel, wherein
the second side of the planar housing has a recessed enclosure opening that extends toward the first side of the planar housing, the planar light source is coupled to a surface that defines at least a portion of the recessed opening enclosure, the recessed enclosure opening is covered by a lens,
the planar light source is in electrical communication with the electrical conductor, and
an exterior surface extends outwardly from the recessed enclosure opening and tapers downwardly toward the third side and the structural support panel.
