9. A lighting assembly comprising:
-
a structural reinforcement configured to facilitate proper orientation of a plurality of supports in relation to a housing, the structural reinforcement defining an opening between the at least two supports facing in opposite general directions; at least one light emitting diode (LED) on a outward side of each of the plurality of supports, at least two of the LEDs emitting light in opposite general directions; a housing forming an outermost surface of said assembly and comprised of an overmolded material selected from plastic, foam and mixtures thereof, and configured to have at least end regions circular in cross-section, said housing further configured to cover the plurality of supports and the LEDs, and wherein the housing is non-transparent and includes a plurality of lens and chamfer arrangements, each lens and chamfer arrangement being aligned with a corresponding LED; and electrical connectors to connect to an electrical fixture. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16)
