Abstract: An illumination assembly having a plurality of light emitting diodes positioned along a rotatable light emitting diode strip, configured to be secured to a mounting surface, and operable to illuminate different portions of a countertop surface area at different color levels when the light emitting diode strip is rotated.

Abstract: A lighting assembly and associated methods are provided. An example of an embodiment of a lighting assembly includes a lighting fixture base and a plurality of elongate decorative elements each having a male fitting connected to the proximal end portion of the decorative elements. The attached male fittings, formed of a ferromagnetic material, are each configured to be inserted into a female fitting. The lighting assembly also includes a corresponding plurality of female fittings each connected to separate portions of the lighting fixture base. Each female fitting can include a magnet positioned within a portion of a male fitting-receiving recess, adjacent the proximal end portion of the female fitting. The combination of male and female fittings is such that when inserted into a female fitting, each male fitting is magnetically coupled to one of the female fittings to releasably connect its associated decorative element to the lighting fixture base.
