The present invention is directed to an LED light fixture. The LED light fixture comprises an interface for connecting the fixture to a source of electrical power, a power control section for supplying and controlling power to an LED array producing a light of a suitable intensity and color for the task for which the fixture is to be used and a light diffuser for diffusing the light from the LED array. The present invention is also directed to a novel power control for supplying and controlling power to an LED array comprising a non switching linear design based on a monolithic approach of power control whereby the load (the LED array) becomes part of the power control system.
