A light distributing assembly for mounting on the surface of a fabric having a first side and a second side, said light distributing assembly comprising:

• (a) a light source;
• and
• (b) a plurality of elongated light outputting members having first and second member ends, said first member end being optically coupled to said light source, each of said members having a light outputting surface on its second member end, wherein said light outputting members have a length, said light outputting members comprising an optically transmissive material having an index of refraction selected to result in reflection of light traveling inside said optically transmissive material and incident on the interface between said optically transmissive material and the space containing said light outputting members;
• (c) a plurality of light outputting caps, said outputting surface being defined on each respective light outputting cap, said light outputting cap being associated with a respective light outputting member and secured to its respective second member end, each of said light outputting caps comprising:
• (i) a tapered member having a first end and a second end, said tapered member tapering along at least a portion of said tapered member to a smaller size from a relatively wide portion adjacent said second end, said first end being relatively pointed and said second end defining a surface shaped to bear against said first side of said fabric;
• (ii) a backing member having first and second surfaces, said first surface being configured to bear against said second side of said fabric;
• (iii) a hole defined in said second surface of said backing member, said hole being configured and dimensioned to receive its respective second member end;
• and
• (iv) a connection member secured to said first surface of said backing member and said second end of said tapered member, to define a space between said first surface of said backing member and said second end of said tapered member, said space being large enough to accommodate said fabric.
