Abstract
A frame assembly for covering a wall conduit having a connection to electrical power and a component associated with the wall conduit requiring access through the frame assembly is provided. The frame assembly comprises a light powered by an electrical circuit connected to the connection and a frame for housing the light. The frame has an opening allowing access to the component through the frame, a side and an aperture in the side allowing the light to illuminate a space outside the frame assembly through the aperture.

A frame assembly and light for covering a wall conduit in a wall, the wall conduit having components requiring access outside the frame assembly, the frame assembly comprising:
- a light;
- an electrical circuit providing electrical energy to the light from a power source;
- a rectangular frame through which the electrical component is accessible, the frame housing the electrical circuit, the frame having sides with a depth sufficient to house the light, and the frame having an aperature in at least one of the sides allowing the light to illuminate a space outside the frame assembly through the aperature;
- and
- a cover plate separate from the frame and for covering the frame and for providing access to the components of the wall conduit.
An assembly for use in association with a component having a connection to electrical power and requiring access during use to a portion of the component, and a separate rectangular cover for the component, the assembly comprising:
- a rectangular frame through which the component is accessible, the rectangular frame having substantially the same external rectangular dimensions as the cover;
- and
- a light;
- wherein the rectangular frame has sides that have sufficient depth to house the light,
- wherein at least one of the sides has an aperture for allowing the light to illuminate outside the frame through the aperture,
- wherein access through the frame to the component is dimensioned to be covered by the rectangular cover.
An assembly for use in association with a component having a connection to electrical power and requiring access during use to a portion of the component, the assembly comprising:
- a rectangular frame through which the component is accessible;
- and
- a light;
- wherein the rectangular frame has a side that has sufficient depth to house the light, and
- wherein the side has an aperture for allowing the light to illuminate outside the frame through the aperture, and
- wherein the light comprises a lighting emitting diode (LED), and
- wherein the LED is a plurality of LEDs and the side aperture is a series of side apertures, one aperture for each LED, and each LED extends into its respective side aperture.
An assembly for use in association with a component having a connection to electrical power and requiring access during use to a portion of the component, and a separate rectangular cover for the component, the assembly comprising:
- a rectangular frame through which the component is accessible, the rectangular frame having substantially the same external rectangular dimensions as the cover;
- and
- a light;
- wherein the rectangular frame has a depth sufficient to house the light,
- wherein the frame has an aperture for allowing the light to illuminate outside the frame through the aperture,
- wherein the cover mounts on top of the frame, and the component mounts inside the frame to the assembly at the same depth as the cover mounts to the frame.
An assembly for use in association with a component having a connection to electrical power and requiring access during use to a portion of the component, and a separate rectangular cover for the component, the assembly comprising:
- a rectangular frame through which the component is accessible, the rectangular frame having substantially the same external rectangular dimensions as the cover;
- spacer means inside the frame;
- and
- a light;
- wherein the rectangular frame has a depth sufficient to house the light,
- wherein the frame has an aperture for allowing the light to illuminate outside the frame through the aperture,
- wherein the cover mounts on top of the frame, and the spacer means are flush with the frame where the cover mounts, and
- wherein the component mounts on top of the spacer means.
An assembly for use in association with a component having a connection to electrical power and requiring access during use to a portion of the component, and a separate rectangular cover for the component, the assembly comprising:
- a rectangular frame through which the component is accessible, the rectangular frame having substantially the same external rectangular dimensions as the cover;
- spacer means inside the frame for holding the component in a desired position relative to the cover;
- and
- a light;
- wherein the rectangular frame has a depth sufficient to house the light,
- wherein the frame has an aperture for allowing the light to illuminate outside the frame through the aperture, and
- wherein the cover mounts on top of the frame.
