Light assembly

A light assembly system comprising:

• an extrusion for an RV panel, said extrusion having a web and a pair of inwardly facing flanges extending from said web, said web providing a surface through which fasteners extend to secure said extrusion to an RV, said pair of inwardly facing flanges having distal ends and a space between said distal ends to form an access opening to said web;
• and
• a light assembly comprising:
• a light strip having a plurality of light sources;
• a flexible elongated body having a base for mounting said light assembly in said extrusion and a light transmitting portion joined or formed with said base, said light transmitting portion having an outwardly facing surface when mounted in said extrusion;
• said light strip in said elongated body for emitting light into and through said light transmitting portion, wherein, when powered, light emitted from said light sources is output from said outwardly facing surface of said elongated body;
• said flexible elongated body forming an upper portion and a lower portion, said lower portion including said base, and said upper portion including said outwardly facing surface, said upper portion and said lower portion each having a cross-sectional dimension greater than said space between said distal ends of said pair of inwardly facing flanges, said flexible elongated body having recessed channels on opposed sides of said elongated body between said upper portion and said lower portion, and wherein when said base is in inserted into said extrusion, said recessed channels will receive and sealingly engage said pair of inwardly facing flanges and said base will capture said flexible elongated body in said extrusion.

A light assembly for covering an extrusion for an RV panel, the extrusion having a web, through which fasteners extend to secure the extrusion to an RV, and a pair of inwardly facing flanges that extend from the web with the pair of inwardly facing flanges having distal ends and a space between the distal ends to form an access opening to the web, the light assembly comprising:

• a light strip having a plurality of light sources;
• a flexible elongated body having a base for mounting said light assembly in the extrusion and an outwardly facing portion joined or formed with said base, said outwardly facing portion forming an outwardly facing surface when mounted in the extrusion and having a light transmitting portion, said light strip being in said elongated body and emitting light, when powered, into and through said light transmitting portion wherein light emitted from said light sources is output from said light transmitting portion;
• said base having opposed outwardly facing ribs for insertion between the inwardly facing flanges of the extrusion;
• and
• said opposed outwardly facing ribs being configured to retain said flexible elongated body in the extrusion when inserted into the extrusion between the inwardly facing flanges of the extrusion, and said base having a channel to straddle fasteners extending through the web of the extrusion.
