Lighting system and method of installing
First Claim
1. A lighting system, comprising:
- a first elongate channel configured for mounting to a structure, the first elongate channel having inwardly extending sides;
a second elongate channel configured for being removably coupled to the first elongate channel and forming a substantially enclosed elongate space between the first and second elongate channels, the second elongate channel having inwardly extending sides for mating with the inwardly extending sides of the first channel and having a plurality of evenly spaced holes therein and forming a light retaining channel proximate a top surface of the first elongate channel;
a plurality of LED light assemblies, each having a water-tight housing containing at least one RGB LED coupled to the second elongate channel with a lens attached to each of the LED light assemblies, the lens having a translucent domed portion to disperse light from the at least one RGB LED, each of the translucent domed portions exposed through one of the plurality of evenly spaced holes in the second elongate channel;
a plurality of segments of wire, the plurality of segments of wire electrically connecting adjacent LED light assemblies of the plurality of light assemblies and a first of the plurality of segments configured for connection to a controller; and
a controller electrically connected to a first segment of the plurality of segments of wire to communicate with each of the plurality of integrated circuits of the plurality of LED light assemblies and to provide power to each of the plurality of light assemblies and having a plurality of programmable functions, each function providing at least one of a desired light color for each of the plurality of led lights, duration of illumination and timing of illumination.

Abstract
A lighting system includes a first elongate channel configured for mounting to a structure, a second elongate channel configured for being temporarily coupled to the first elongate channel and forming a substantially enclosed elongate space between the first and second elongate channels. A plurality of LED lights, each having a housing, at least one LED, an integrated circuit within the housing and a dome shaped lens, coupled to the second elongate channel with each of the dome shaped lenses exposed through the second elongate channel. A controller is electrically connected to a plurality of segments of wire to communicate with each of the plurality of integrated circuits and has a plurality of programmable functions, each function providing at least one of a desired light color for each of the plurality of led lights, duration of illumination and timing of illumination.
