Draw a section of half of the short side, then use the Shell Tool to extrude your shape.

Actually, it would be better to do a Complex Profile and trace the perimeter.
Profile Editor
Complex Wall
Fillet Corners
You would then duplicate it for the number of elements in your light, set and different materials, then save it as an object.
