1. A lighted assembly comprising:
- a support comprising a hollow member defining an enclosure, said hollow member having a wall defining an outer perimeter surface of said support;
a light assembly having a light source and a light transmitting body having a light emitting surface, said light source being coupled to said body, said light assembly being adapted for coupling to a power source for powering said light source, when powered light from said light source being directed into said body and being directed from said body through said light emitting surface; and
said wall of said support having offset portions forming a recess extending inwardly of said outer perimeter surface and having an opening therein in communication with said enclosure, said light assembly being mounted in said enclosure and extended into said recess through said opening in said recess and facing outwardly from said support at said recess to thereby direct light outwardly from said support.

Abstract
A lighted assembly includes a support having a wall and a light assembly with a light source and a body, which includes a light emitting surface. The light source is coupled to the body and is adapted for coupling to a power source for powering the light source. When powered light from the light source is directed into the body and is directed from the body through the light emitting surface. The support includes a corresponding recess formed in the wall, with the light assembly being mounted in the recess and facing outwardly from the support to thereby direct light outwardly from the support.

28. A method of assembling a lighted assembly comprising:
-
providing a support, the support being adapted for mounting to a wall or to a generally horizontal surface, the support having a support wall defining an enclosure and having an outer perimeter, and the support wall having offset portions forming at least one recess in said support wall along the length of the support; locating a light assembly in the enclosure, the light assembly having a light transmitting body and at least one light source for directing light into the light transmitting body, the light transmitting body having a light emitting surface emitting light directed into the light transmitting body from the light source when the light source is powered; positioning at least a portion of a light transmitting body in the recess wherein the light emitting surface is located at or near the outer perimeter of the support wall; and enclosing the light assembly in the support wherein the support is substantially free from bug intrusion into the support. - View Dependent Claims (29)
