Abstract
An elongated illumination device for receiving an elongated light source. In one illustrative embodiment, the elongated illumination device includes an elongated member that has a cavity for receiving the elongated light source. The cavity is preferably at least partially defined by a first material that is at least partially transparent and extends from the cavity to an outer surface of the elongated member and a second material that is substantially non-transparent. In some embodiments, the elongated member includes one or more legs that are adapted to secure the elongated member to a substrate.
Claims29
A lighting apparatus for receiving an elongated light source, comprising:
- an elongated body having a cavity for receiving the elongated light source, the cavity being at least partially defined by a first material that is at least partially transparent and extends from the cavity to an outer surface of the elongated body and second material a that is substantially non-transparent, the elongated body having one or more legs that are adapted to extend at and secure the elongated body to a substrate;
- and
- wherein the elongated body includes a removable portion that includes the cavity, the removable portion being adapted to be selectively removable from the remainder of the elongated body to provide access to the cavity.
A lighting apparatus for receiving an elongated light source, comprising:
- an elongated body having a first surface and one or more other surfaces, the elongated body further having a cavity for receiving the elongated light source, wherein the cavity is at least partially defined by a material that is at least partially transparent which extends from the cavity to the first surface of the elongated body and a second material that is substantially non-transparent;
- and
- one or more legs that extend out from one or more of the other surfaces of the elongated body, the one or more legs adapted to aid in securing the elongated body to substrate;
- and
- wherein the elongated body include a removable portion that includes the cavity, the removable portion being adapted to be selectively removable from the remainder of the elongated body.
A lighting apparatus for receiving an elongated light source, comprising:
- an elongated body having a cavity for receiving the elongated light source, the cavity being at least partially defined by a first material that is at least partially transparent an extends from the cavity to an outer surface of the elongated body, the elongated body further including a non-transparent material that extends between the cavity and an outer surface of the elongated body;
- and
- wherein the elongated body includes a removable portion that includes the cavity and is adapted to be selectively removable from the remainder of the elongated body to provide access to the elongated light source.
A lighting apparatus for receiving an elongated light source, comprising:
- an elongated body having a first surface and one or more other surfaces, the elongated body further having a cavity for receiving the elongated light source, wherein the cavity is at least partially defined by a material that is at least partially transparent which extends from the cavity to the first surface of the elongated body, the elongated body including a removable portion that includes the cavity, the removable portion being adapted to be selectively removable from the remainder of the elongated body to provide access to the elongated light source.
A lighting apparatus for receiving an elongated light source, comprising:
- an elongated body having a cavity for receiving the elongated light source, the elongated body including a removable portion that includes the cavity, the removable portion being adapted to be selectively removable from the remainder of the elongated body to provide access to the elongated light source.
A lighting apparatus for receiving an elongated light source, comprising:
- an elongated body having a first surface and one or more other surfaces, the elongated body further having a cavity (or receiving the elongated light source, wherein the cavity is at least partially defined by a material that is at least partially transparent which extends from the cavity to the first surface of the elongated body, the elongated body including a removable portion that defines at least part of the cavity, the removable portion being adapted to be selectively removable from the remainder of the elongated body to provide access to the elongated light source.
