19. A lighting system for use in a building structure, comprising:
-
a metal strip extending longitudinally between first and second ends, defining a generally concave channel along its length, being flexible along its length, and being generally light reflective on the concave channel side; a first clamp secured the first end of the metal strip and including a first base mountable to a first selected location of the building structure, and a first clamp arm having a first set of clamping members on one end adapted to secure said first clamp arm to said first end of said metal strip, and a first mount adjustably securable to said first base for securing said first clamping arm in a selected orientation relative to said first base; a second clamp secured to the second end of the metal strip and including a second base mountable to a second selected location of the building structure, and a second clamp arm having a second set of clamping members on one end adapted to secure said second clamp arm to the second end of said metal strip, and a second mount adjustably securable to said second base for securing said second clamping arm in a selected orientation relative to said second base; a longitudinally extending flexible light strip secured in the channel of said metal strip; and a box at one of said first and second clamps for connecting a power source to said light strip. - View Dependent Claims (20)
