A lighting system comprising:
- a door;
- a baseboard;
- a plurality of lighted strips;
- wherein:
- the door comprises a distal edge and a channel;
- the baseboard comprises an overhang and a door frame;
- one lighted strip of the plurality of lighted strips traverses the channel of the door up to the distal edge of the door;
- one lighted strip of the plurality of lighted strips traverses the overhang up to the door frame;
- the door hinging about an axis relative to the baseboard, composing a closed configuration wherein the door is inset into the doorframe and colinear with an adjacent portion of the baseboard;
- while in the closed configuration, the distal edge of the door is directly adjacent to the door frame of the base board, thus aligning the plurality of lighted strips colinearly whereby each of the plurality of lighted strips are immediately adjacent to each other.
