The lighting system may be mounted to the eaves of a building structure, such as a residential home. An additional aspect of the present invention is to provide a modular, adaptable and programmable lighting system and method for building a lighting system. Further, the lighting system may be provided in a waterproof or water-resistant enclosure. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A lighting system, comprising: a housing with a first receiver void and a second receiver void; a cover with a first extension adapted to engage the first receiver void and a second extension adapted to engage the second receiver void, the housing and the cover forming a cavity when assembled; wherein the cover further comprises: a first opaque portion with the first extension projecting into the cavity; a second opaque portion with the second extension projecting into the cavity; and a transparent portion that is generally planar positioned between the first and second opaque portions; and at least one lighting source configured to fit within the cavity. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the housing comprises at least two shelf mounts extending into the cavity, the at least two shelf mounts configured to engage a circuit board including the at least one lighting source. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The system of claim 2, wherein a portion of the first extension is operable to retard movement of the circuit board. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein: an exterior surface of the cover is generally planar; and the housing includes a first sidewall, a second sidewall, and a base-wall extending between the first and second sidewalls, wherein the first and second sidewalls are generally parallel. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the housing and the cover define a first end configured to engage an extension adaptor having a lid interconnectable to a base with a passage therethrough, the passage to receive at least a portion of the housing and the cover therein. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one lighting source comprises at least three LED lighting sources. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The system of claim 6, wherein the at least three LED lighting sources are configured to emit at least three colors. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein: the first receiver void is oriented transverse to a first sidewall of the housing; and the second receiver void is oriented generally parallel to a second sidewall of the housing. ### Claim 9 A waterproof lighting system comprising: a linear portion having a first end, a second end, a housing, and a cover, the housing and cover forming a cavity when interconnected, the cover including a first opaque extension and a second opaque extension which are configured to engage the housing and a transparent portion that is generally planar positioned between the first and second opaque extensions; and at least one LED configured to fit within the cavity. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein a controller is operable to control lighting parameters of the at least one LED. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The system of claim 10, wherein the lighting parameters comprise color and intensity, and wherein the lighting parameters are stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium. ### Claim 12 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein the housing further comprises: a first receiver void oriented transverse to a first sidewall of the housing, the first receiver void configured to receive the first extension of the cover; and a second receiver void oriented generally parallel to a second sidewall of the housing, the second receiver void configured to receive the second extension of the cover. ### Claim 13 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein the housing further comprises a first circuit board mount and a second circuit board mount which are configured to engage a circuit board including the at least one LED. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The system of claim 13, wherein one of the first circuit board mount and the second circuit board mount forms a cavity. ### Claim 15 A lighting system, comprising: a housing with a first sidewall having a first receiver void oriented generally parallel to the first sidewall; a cover including: a transparent portion that is generally planar; and an opaque extension configured to engage the first receiver void, the opaque extension oriented transverse to the transparent portion; and a circuit board with a light source. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The lighting system of claim 15, wherein the housing further comprises a second sidewall having a second receiver void oriented transverse to the first receiver void. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The lighting system of claim 15, wherein the housing further comprises a first circuit board mount and a second circuit board mount, wherein the circuit board is mountable on the first and second circuit board mounts. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The lighting system of claim 17, wherein, when the circuit board is mounted on the first and second circuit board mounts, the extension of the cover is spaced from the circuit board. ### Claim 19 (depends on 15) The lighting system of claim 15, wherein the cover includes a second opaque extension oriented transverse to the transparent portion, the second extension configured to contact the circuit board.
