An architectural light housing assembly comprising:
- a cast body having a base and opposing sidewalls defining an elongated channel, said sidewalls having contoured top edges to support an elongated lens mounted within an upper portion of said elongated channel to seal the upward facing top of said elongated channel;
- a sequence of lighting elements placed within the length of the elongated channel;
- and
- endcaps affixed to the ends of the base and sidewalls to enclose opposite ends of the elongated channel, wherein said cast body and endcaps are formed from a castable material selected from the group consisting of concrete, a polymer concrete mixture, high strength plastic and high strength polymer.
