Light system and method of installing
First Claim
1. A lighting system, comprising:
- a first elongate channel configured for mounting to a structure;
a second elongate channel having a length approximately equal to a length of the first elongate channel 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 a plurality of evenly spaced holes therein;
a plurality of LED light assemblies coupled to the second elongate channel, each having a water-tight housing having a translucent portion containing a pair of programmable RGB LEDs and having a translucent lens exposed through one of the plurality of evenly spaced holes in the second elongate channel so that light from the pair of programmable RGB LEDs passes through the translucent lens;
a plurality of segments of wire, the plurality of segments of wire electrically connecting each of the LED light assemblies in series; and
an LED light controller electrically connected to one of the plurality of segments of wire to individually control each programmable RGB LED of the pair of programmable RGB LEDs in the series and to provide power to each pair of programmable RGB LEDs in the series, the LED light controller having a plurality of functions, the plurality of functions comprising at least one of a desired light color for each programmable RGB LED, a duration of illumination for each programmable RGB LED or timing of illumination for each programmable RGB LED.

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 translucent watertight housing, at least one led and a integrated circuit within the translucent housing, are coupled to the second elongate channel with each of the translucent watertight housings 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.
