Claims7
A lighting system for screened enclosures comprising:
- an elongated housing strip having an outer surface, an inner surface, side edges and end edges;
- said elongated strip having a raised profile with a plurality of lights located on the outer surface of the elongated housing strip;
- said side edges capable of being squeezed inward to create an outward tension on the side edges when said side edges are placed within screen cable channels of a frame rail of a screened enclosure;
- and
- said elongated housing strip comprises a raised center panel with angled side panels that creates a trapezoidal shape when attached to a frame rail of a screened enclosure.
A method for installing a lighting system for screened enclosures wherein said lighting system comprises an elongated housing strip having an outer surface, an inner surface, side edges and end edges, said elongated strip having a raised profile with a plurality of lights located on the outer surface of the elongated housing strip, and said side edges capable of being squeezed inward;
- said method comprising the steps of:
- a. attaching at least one elongated housing strip to a frame rail of a screened enclosure by inserting side edges of the at least one elongated housing strip into screen cable channels of the frame rail;
- b. connecting the at least one elongated housing strip to a controller using an electrical wire;
- and
- c. connecting the controller to a power source using an electrical wire.
