1. A light assembly for attachment to a vehicle such as a truck, comprising:
- an elongated and generally flat support member having a first end, a second end, a first side, a second side, an upper side and a lower side;
said support member having a plurality of horizontally spaced-apart mount openings formed therein;
an elongated L-shaped channel member at said second side of said support member which extends from said first end of said support member to said second end of said support member;
said L-shaped channel member including an upwardly extending portion, having lower and upper ends, which extends upwardly from said second side of said support member and including a horizontally extending portion, an inner end, an outer end, an upper side and a lower side, which extends inwardly from said upper end of said upwardly extending portion thereby creating an elongated channel at said second side of said support member;
said support member having a plurality of horizontally spaced-apart light mounting openings formed therein;
said electrical light mounting openings being formed in said support member at said inner end of said horizontally extending portion of said L-shaped channel member;
an electrical light member positioned in at least some of said light mounting openings;
each of said electrical light members having an upper end which is positioned above said upper side of said support member and a lower end which is positioned at said lower side of said support member;
each of said electrical light members having electrical wires extending from said upper end thereof to a source of electrical power;
said electrical wires which extend from said upper ends of said electrical light members being positioned in said elongated channel below said horizontally extending portion of said L-shaped channel and inwardly of upwardly extending portion to protect said electrical wires and to prevent said electrical wires from hanging downwardly from said support member; and
said support member being configured to be attached to the truck.

Abstract
A light assembly for attachment to a vehicle such as a truck wherein the light assembly includes a rigid support member having a first end, a second end, a first side edge, a second side edge, a first side and a second side. In a first embodiment, a plurality of spaced-apart light members are secured to the support member. In a second embodiment, an elongated light bar is secured to the support member. In both embodiments, an L-shaped channel member is provided at one of the side edges of the support member thereof to not only strengthen the support member but to provide a channel for partially receiving the electrical wires of the light members.
