Abstract: The invention provides an architectural molding system including at least one section of molding that comprises an elongated body having a longitudinally extending light clip channel and a longitudinally extending slot through a front surface of the elongated body and communicating with the longitudinally extending light clip channel. The longitudinally extending slot is downwardly and outwardly sloped in a direction from the longitudinally extending light clip channel towards the bottom of the front surface. A flexible light source, such as, a rope light is removably postionable within the light clip channel. When the light source is turned on the longitudinally extending slot directs the light from the light clip channel upon a floor surface adjacent the molding.
